When Is the Right Time for a Drone Video Roof Inspection?

If you need a public adjuster in Boca Raton, you have come to the right place. At Reliant Insurance Adjusters, we offer a variety of services designed to help you should you have an insurance claim. One of these is roof inspections recorded with a drone.

Learn why drone videos are valuable, what you should look for when hiring a drone pilot, and the situations where we may recommend a different kind of inspection. 

Why Are Drone Videos Valuable? 
You want to have as much information as possible when filing your claim. The more ambiguity, the easier it is for an insurance company to potentially deny a claim. Drone videos can provide essential information in support of your claim.
 
A pre-loss property inspection can also help narrow down when the damage occurred. It also provides clear evidence of your property prior to a loss. 

This is important because insurance policies are not typically designed to cover maintenance related issues or long-term damage. Interior property inspections and drone footage can help you show the condition of your roof and the exterior and interior of your property before it is damaged. This type of report will assist in getting coverage for your claim. 

What Should You Look for When Hiring a Drone Video Roof Inspection Expert? 
The next step is to find someone to assist you and two qualities you should look for: 

• Insurance Expertise – You want to work with someone who understands the insurance claim process and what insurance companies will be looking for. Someone who understands what to record in order to help you make it through the complicated process. 
• Drone Expertise – While people flying drones recreationally do not need a license, commercial flyers do. Along with making sure the pilot is licensed, it is also a good idea to make sure they have experience flying. This lets you rest easy knowing they can operate the drone and capture any necessary imagery. 

Along with being a Public Insurance Adjuster and Certified Property Insurance Appraiser & Umpire (CPAU), Scott Scovin is also an FAA licensed Drone Pilot. He is prepared to provide you with all the documentation and help you need. 

Are There Any Situations Where We Cannot Use Drones? 
Yes, there are certain situations where we cannot use drones. Airports and military bases have restrictions against civilian drones. If you own property close to either, call us and we will help you determine whether drones can be flown over your property. 

If there is any reason why we may not be able to use a drone, we will discuss your best options for getting your property inspected. Our goal is to make sure you have all the documentation you need for your insurance claim.
