Roof Inspection: AI Drone Tech in San Antonio, TX | Baadigi
Q: Can drones inspect thermal leaks? A: Yes—thermal + AI pinpoint wet insulation under flat roofs. Q: How fast can I get a report? A: Within minutes of upload, with full 3D and damage detail.
San Antonio's commercial roofs take a beating from thermal shock. Flat roofs in the Medical Center and Brooks City Base often develop hidden moisture pockets that destroy insulation without showing visible signs on the surface. Manual core cuts are destructive and hit-or-miss. Baadigi 360 reinforces your digital structure. We deploy Thermal Drone technology paired with AI analysis to pinpoint wet insulation under TPO and Mod-Bit roofs instantly. This non-destructive testing proves the need for restoration to facility managers in San Antonio without cutting a single hole.
Reinforce Your Revenue Structure
Stop guessing where the leak is coming from. Thermal guessing is expensive; thermal imaging is precise. We help you build an owned asset. By utilizing "Thermal AI Analysis" and "Non-Destructive Testing," we act as a digital filtration system, revealing the invisible water damage and funneling high-value commercial restoration contracts directly to your sales team.
The Baadigi Strategy for the Alamo City
Seeing the Invisible (Thermal Tech)
Can drones inspect thermal leaks? Yes. Water holds heat longer than dry insulation. At dusk, our thermal drones fly over the roof. The wet areas glow on the camera. The AI software then maps these heat signatures, calculating the exact square footage of wet insulation. This scientific data is irrefutable proof for a Facility Manager.
Justifying the "Restoration vs. Replacement"
This tech helps you sell the right solution. If only 10% of the roof is wet, you can sell a "Surgical Repair & Coating" (high margin) instead of a full tear-off (high cost/disruption). This value engineering wins bids against competitors who are lazily quoting a full replacement.
Rapid Report Turnaround
How fast can I get a report? Minutes. You upload the thermal images, and the AI processes them in the cloud. You can have a professional "Moisture Analysis Report" ready to email to the client before you even leave the job site. This speed and professionalism sets you apart as a technological leader.

FAQs for San Antonio Thermal Drone AI
Can drones inspect thermal leaks?
Yes. Thermal cameras detect temperature differences. Wet insulation retains heat from the day longer than dry insulation. When the roof cools at sunset, the wet areas "glow" on the thermal image, allowing you to see exactly where water is trapped under the membrane.
How fast can I get a report?
Processing is near-instant. Once you upload the drone data to the cloud, the AI stitches the images and identifies anomalies within minutes. You can present a 3D thermal map to the client almost immediately.
Does this work on all roof types?
It works best on low-slope (flat) commercial roofs like TPO, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, and Built-Up roofs. It is less effective on highly reflective metal roofs or pitched shingle roofs due to emissivity issues.
Do I need a special pilot license?
Yes. For commercial thermal work, you need a Part 107 FAA license. We help guide your team on the certification process or connect you with licensed drone pilot networks in San Antonio.
How does this help me win bids?
It builds trust through science. Instead of saying "I think you need a new roof," you show them a heat map proving "15% of your insulation is wet." This data makes it easy for a Facility Manager to justify the budget to their CFO.
Can it detect leaks in walls too?
Yes. Thermal drones can scan the building envelope (facade) to check for heat loss or moisture intrusion in the walls, offering a "Whole Building Health" inspection service that adds revenue.
