The best way to see the roof is to walk it, but this is not always possible or safe. It is because of these issues that we have trained and certified in Drone Inspections. We are licensed and experienced to make sure your roof is thoroughly inspected so that your family is protected and knows they are safe.
UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles, more commonly known as drones, have become a necessary tool among many Florida home inspectors, and for good reason. Although they aren’t suitable for every one of these professionals, they have a significant number of advantages when it comes to searching for leaking pipes and roof damage, both of which can lead to costly repairs, if they aren’t addressed immediately. That is why you need to call in the best company in the industry. The following is a list of the key advantages of drone use in building and home inspections.
If your gutters contain an excessive amount of loose shingle granules, this is a sign that your shingles are being worn away. Granules give your shingles added weight and protect them from ultraviolet rays.
At Absolute Home Inspections, we believe in going the extra mile to ensure the highest-quality inspection. We have state-of-the art drones for inspecting roofs and building exteriors that are either too high or unsafe to walk on. Also, some tile roofs are too unsafe to walk on because of the type of material (clay, slate or thin concrete tiles) or from slippery conditions due to moisture and algae growth. Some roofs are only accessible at the 2nd story level which would require a 30′ ladder. Most inspectors do not have this type of ladder and simply inspect the roof from the ground with binoculars. While this is a decent substitute, a drone will have the capability of flying and recording the actual condition of the roof covering as if we were walking on the surface.

Mold can grow after water damage within 48 hours. One thing is for sure, even a minor leak can lead to mold growth. Unfortunately, many leaks that occur in our homes are hidden away behind walls, underneath floorboards, and in ceilings.
Mold can cause a number of health issues including headaches, stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes, or skin. Some people, such as those with allergies to molds or with asthma, may have more intense reactions.
Whether you are buying or selling it is always good to make sure your house has acceptable mold levels. In fact, you will never have a home without any mold. Mold is everywhere and it is a matter of keeping it at an acceptable level.
Mold can also have a direct affect on your baby’s health. Although babies with other allergies might be particularly vulnerable to mold, your baby can have a reaction to mold even if he/she is relatively healthy. Many babies can become allergic to mold even if they are not allergic to anything else, and the effects can be very harmful.
All mold needs to grow is the presence of mold spores, a surface to grow on. This involves warmth, oxygen, and moisture. Many times that musty odor you are smelling is not “just” mold. This is often a result of a chemical compound released at different stages of the mold growth cycle.
