We check estates, solar arrays, roofs and water from the air.
From above we see whole rows of panels, whole roofs, a whole easement and the length of a pond bank in one visit. It works the same on a farm, an estate or a solar farm. The drone carries a zoom camera and a thermal one, and each visit is kept beside the last.
Opening for commercial work in the first quarter of 2027.
What we inspect
Six things we look at on a property, and the inspection that covers each. An estate visit can look at any of them together.
Buildings
The house, barns, sheds and garages: roofs, gutters, eaves, and heat getting out.
Barn & Building Checks covers farm buildings. The house is part of an estate visit.
Covered by
Utilities
The equipment a property runs on: the outdoor units of heat pumps and mini-splits, units on a roof, generators, and well and pool pumps. Thermal shows whether each one is running. We keep clear of the power lines.
On farm buildings, Barn & Building Checks also looks at HVAC units, milk-tank condensers and exhaust fans, for one running hotter than it should or one that has stopped.
Covered by
Trees and grounds
Trees and limbs down after a storm, trees dying back, and dead or bare patches in the lawn.
Covered by
Water
Ponds and their banks, spillways, culverts, troughs and tanks, and ground that stays wet after rain.
Covered by
Fences
Fence lines and their gates: a span down, a tree across a line, a gate left open.
Covered by
Solar
Panels on a roof or on the ground: a fault, damage, dirt or shade.
Covered by
One inspection is for land a trust protects, not a place of your own.
The inspections
Every inspection goes out from our base in Ghent, anywhere inside the rings on the coverage map.
Estate Visits
Roofs, heat pumps and generators, trees, ponds, fences and panels on a large property, in one visit and one report.

Every panel read with thermal in strong sun, and each fault marked where it sits in the array.

Roofs, rooftop units and hay stacked outside, after a storm or once a year.

The same views of every easement a land trust holds, flown each year.

Pond banks, spillways, culverts and troughs, after a storm or on a schedule.

It needs the right hour
A panel shows a fault only while the sun is working it hard, so an array is flown near midday. A wet roof shows best as the evening cools it, and a leak in a buried line only on some days.
We pick the hour for the job, and move it if the weather won't give it.
It shows where to look
Thermal and photos read the outside of things. They can't see through a wall, behind a panel or into a dam.
Where we find something, someone confirms it on the ground: your electrician, your installer or an engineer.
