Issue Detection
By combining high-resolution aerial imagery with thermal data overlays, optical zoom, and elevation mapping - we help building engineers and facility managers identify both visible and latent issues that might otherwise go unnoticed during a traditional inspection. Small cracks, debris buildup, material separation, moisture intrusion points, displaced components, and surface discoloration can all signal emerging structural concerns.
Early detection of these anomalies allows for faster decision-making, more targeted estimates, and timely repair scheduling. Our inspection process produces a detailed, shareable visual record of all findings, giving you the clarity and confidence needed to prioritize repairs, justify budgets, and maintain long-term structural integrity.
Energy Leak Thermals
Our drone-enabled thermal imaging inspections provide a powerful, non-invasive way to assess the energy efficiency of building facades. Using advanced infrared cameras, we capture thermograms that reveal hidden heat loss, and insulation failure across the building. This precise mapping allows building engineers to quickly identify areas where energy is escaping, pinpoint gaps in insulation, and detect moisture intrusion or condensation risks before they become costly problems.
By visualizing temperature variations across the facade, our systems help prioritize repairs and guide decisions on insulation, compliance, and building performance improvements. Thermal inspections deliver immediate, actionable insights, empowering you to enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain occupant comfort.
Track Deterioration
Monitor and document the gradual wear and aging of your building exterior over time. With consistent flight paths and automated image capture, we deliver repeatable, high-resolution visuals and thermal data from the exact same angles - ideal for tracking surface deterioration, joint separation, sealant failure, discoloration, corrosion, and other evolving issues.
These time-stamped visuals provides building engineers with a powerful tool for spotting trends, comparing conditions across seasons or years, and planning proactive maintenance before minor issues escalate.
Facade Reports
After your facade inspection is complete, VSI provides secure access to all data through a personalized project dashboard. From this dashboard, you can explore your building’s facade in both 2D and 3D detail - giving you a comprehensive and interactive view of every surface. All of VSI’s field notes and observations are clearly marked and easy to review. You can also add your own custom notes, annotations, and comments.
Whether you're preparing reports for stakeholders, gathering pricing estimates from restoration contractors, or maintaining internal documentation, this dashboard makes exporting professional reports quick and simple.
