Thermal Roof Inspection Vaughan
Drone-based infrared roof scanning for industrial facilities, commercial plazas, and new developments across Vaughan's rapidly growing Highway 400/407 corridor.

Vaughan has transformed from farmland to one of Canada's most dynamic commercial centers. The Highway 400/407 interchange hosts massive industrial operations, while Vaughan Metropolitan Centre brings new high-rise commercial development. Both established facilities and new construction need proactive roof maintenance to protect their investments.
Our drone-based thermal inspections detect trapped moisture before it causes damage. After a sunny day, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry material. Our infrared cameras capture these temperature differences after sunset and map them across your entire roof with centimeter-level accuracy.

How Thermal Roof Scanning Works
Weather Coordination
We schedule for optimal conditions: 48+ hours without rain, sunny day for solar loading, clear evening, wind below 25 km/h.
RGB Survey
Daytime flight captures high-resolution imagery showing surface conditions, ponding, debris, and visible damage.
Thermal Survey
After sunset, we capture thousands of infrared images as the roof releases stored heat, revealing moisture patterns.
Analysis & Reporting
We process both datasets, trace anomalies in AutoCAD, calculate affected areas, and deliver your complete report.
Typical Timeline: On-site 1 to 2 hours (RGB) + 2 to 4 hours (thermal) | Report delivery: 5 to 7 business days
Commercial-Grade Thermal Systems
DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Thermal (M3T)
Integrated thermal and visual sensors with RTK positioning. Efficient scanning for commercial plazas and mid-size industrial facilities.
DJI Matrice 400 with H30T
Heavy-lift platform for Vaughan's largest industrial roofs. Extended flight time for comprehensive coverage of distribution centers and manufacturing facilities.
32-Bit Radiometric Processing
All thermal data captured as calibrated radiometric files and processed into georeferenced maps with actual temperature data.
Vaughan Coverage
We serve industrial and commercial properties throughout Vaughan, from the Highway 400/407 industrial district to the new developments at Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and established business areas across the city.
Also Serving
For large industrial facilities, we travel throughout York Region and the GTA.

Thermal Roof Inspection Vaughan
How much does a thermal roof inspection cost in Vaughan?
Pricing depends on roof size, complexity, and deliverables required. Industrial facilities are quoted based on total square footage and flight time. Contact us with your building's approximate size for a custom quote.
Can you scan large industrial facilities?
Yes. Our Matrice 400 platform is built for Vaughan's large industrial roofs. We regularly scan facilities exceeding 150,000 square feet. For very large properties, we can deploy multiple teams to complete the thermal survey in a single evening.
How long does a thermal inspection take?
On-site work runs 3 to 6 hours: a daytime RGB flight (1 to 2 hours) followed by an evening thermal survey (2 to 4 hours depending on roof size). Report delivery takes 5 to 7 business days.
What weather do you need?
We require at least 48 hours without rain, a sunny day to heat the roof (solar loading), clear evening conditions, and wind speeds below 25 km/h. We monitor weather closely and schedule backup dates for every project.
Do you work with new construction?
Yes. Thermal scanning is valuable for new construction warranty verification. We can document baseline roof conditions and identify any installation issues before warranty periods expire. This is increasingly common for newly built facilities in Vaughan.
Do you follow ASTM standards?
Yes. Our thermal roof surveys follow ASTM C1153 protocols for locating wet insulation using infrared imaging. This produces results that roofing consultants, engineers, and insurance companies recognize and accept.
What certifications do you hold?
Craig Holland is a Level II sUAS Certified Thermographer with Transport Canada Advanced RPAS certification. Holland Productions holds RPOC authorization for complex operations and carries $6.25 million in commercial liability insurance.
What types of roofs can you inspect?
Flat and low-slope commercial roofs with membrane systems produce the best results: TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing. This covers the majority of industrial and commercial roof systems in Vaughan.
