Storm damage verification for insurance claim processing
A regional insurance company needed rapid verification of storm damage on a residential property in Sacramento. The adjuster required objective aerial documentation to process a $42,000 claim, but traditional roof inspection was delayed 2+ weeks due to contractor availability.
We deployed an FAA Part 107 certified pilot within 24 hours of the request. The drone inspection captured comprehensive 4K imagery and video of the entire roof surface, documenting hail damage, missing shingles, and compromised flashing—all without putting anyone on the roof.
Verified property address, checked airspace (uncontrolled), confirmed weather conditions (clear, wind <10 mph), and prepared FAA Part 107 documentation. Property access confirmed with HOA.
45-minute on-site flight covering all roof quadrants. Captured nadir (straight-down) imagery, angled detail shots, and video of storm damage including hail impact on shingles, damaged ridge caps, and compromised gutters.
Raw footage reviewed and edited. Damage markers added to 12 key images. Annotated PDF report compiled with pilot credentials and flight logs. All files processed and uploaded.
Final deliverables delivered via secure cloud link 48 hours from booking. Adjuster received complete package and approved full $42,000 claim within 5 business days of inspection.
