Why Hire a Drone Pilot

Why Hire a Drone Pilot for Storm Damage Inspection

Climbing onto a storm-damaged roof to assess loose shingles, exposed decking, or a compromised structure is dangerous, and it’s not necessary. A drone inspection lets a certified pilot capture close-up, high-resolution photos and video of the damage from the air, without anyone setting foot on an unstable roof.

It’s also faster. A drone pilot can cover an entire roofline, the siding, and the surrounding property in a single flight, often the same day the storm clears. That speed matters when you’re trying to get ahead of further water damage or file a timely insurance claim.

The result is documentation you can actually use: time-stamped, high-resolution footage of exactly what the storm did to your property, handed to you directly by the pilot who flew the job. That’s exactly what a storm damage drone inspection is built to deliver, and it’s why more homeowners are choosing one over a traditional, ground-level walkthrough.

FAQ

Storm Damage Drone Inspection FAQ

How fast can a drone pilot get to my property after a storm?

It depends on pilot availability in your area, but many storm jobs are scheduled within a day or two of posting. Post as much detail as you can so nearby pilots can respond quickly. Booking your storm damage drone inspection sooner also means better documentation before weather or repairs change the scene.

Will this documentation work for my insurance claim?

Pilots can capture time-stamped, high-resolution photo and video of the damage, which many homeowners use to support a claim. Check with your insurance provider on their specific documentation requirements.

Are the pilots licensed?

Yes. Every pilot on SkyyTask is FAA Part 107 certified, the federal license required to legally fly commercial drone missions.

What do I need to include when I post the job?

Your address, the type of property, what areas you want inspected, and exactly what deliverables you need, such as photos, video, or a written report. The more detail you give, the better pilots can quote and prepare.
