Drone Leak Investigation · Commercial
Drone leak investigation for shopping centres & retail.
Retail roofs are big, flat, and unforgiving: acres of membrane crossed by HVAC curbs, skylights, and decades of tenant-improvement penetrations, over stores where a single ceiling drip means closed sales floor and a tenant dispute. The roof is also exactly the kind nobody walks until something already leaks.

Aerial investigation covers the entire centre in one mission — every roof section, every curb, every suspect ponding zone — with moisture mapped to the tenant grid so repairs land over the right unit. Common-area plazas, parkade decks, and site stormwater get screened in the same program.
Where shopping centres & retail leak
- Tenant-improvement penetrations leaking into adjacent units
- Ponding zones aging membrane sections prematurely
- HVAC curb and skylight flashing failures over sales floors
- Plaza and parkade deck leakage into below-grade retail
- Site detention ponds and drainage failing quietly at the edges

View serviceShopping Centres & Retail: common questions
Can you map moisture to specific tenant units?
Yes — moisture zones are delivered on the roof plan referenced to the tenant grid below, so your roofer opens the membrane over unit 240, not somewhere near it. That referencing is also what settles whose insurance responds when TI penetrations are involved.
Do flights interfere with customers or operations?
No — exterior flights, usually evenings for thermal contrast, fully coordinated with centre management and security. Customers never know the survey happened; you simply receive the mapped results.
How often should a retail portfolio fly roof surveys?
An annual moisture baseline per centre, plus event-triggered flights after major storms. The annual mosaic is what makes the post-storm comparison decisive — new damage separates cleanly from pre-existing conditions.
