Post–Winter Storm Fern Drone Inspections for Roof, Industrial, and Aerial Assessments

Jan 26, 2026

Post–Winter Storm Fern Drone Inspections for Roof, Industrial, and Aerial Assessments, are critical after severe winter weather impacts West Texas. Winter Storm Fern brought freezing temperatures, high winds, ice, and snow. These conditions can damage roofs, industrial facilities, and critical infrastructure. Many issues are not visible from the ground.

At South Plains Aerial Imaging, we use professional drone technology to safely assess storm-related damage. Our roof inspections, industrial inspections, and aerial photography services help property owners take action faster and with confidence.

Why Post-Storm Inspections Matter

Winter storms can cause hidden damage. Ice buildup stresses roofing materials. Wind can lift shingles and flashing. Snow and freezing temperatures impact industrial equipment and structures.

Delaying inspections can lead to bigger problems. Water intrusion, structural weakening, and system failures often worsen over time.

Drone inspections allow us to identify issues early. This reduces repair costs and limits downtime.

Roof Inspections After Winter Storm Fern

Roof damage is one of the most common storm-related issues. Traditional inspections can be dangerous and time-consuming.

Our aerial roof inspections provide:

  • High-resolution images of shingles, flashing, and vents

  • Clear documentation of storm-related damage

  • Safer inspections without ladders or roof traffic

  • Visual records useful for insurance claims

Drone roof inspections are faster and safer. They also reduce liability for property owners and contractors.

Industrial Inspections Following Severe Weather

Industrial facilities face unique risks after winter storms. Ice and wind can affect tanks, stacks, piping, and rooftops.

South Plains Aerial Imaging offers detailed industrial drone inspections that help identify:

  • Structural stress or surface damage

  • Equipment exposure to ice or debris

  • Areas that are difficult or unsafe to access

Our high-resolution imaging supports maintenance planning and operational decisions.

Aerial Photography and Videography for Documentation

Post-storm aerial photography and videography provide a complete overview of affected properties. This is especially valuable for large commercial sites, campuses, and industrial locations.

Our aerial imagery helps with:

  • Insurance claim documentation

  • Contractor and engineer reviews

  • Asset condition reporting

  • Project planning and recovery timelines

Clear visuals reduce uncertainty and speed up recovery.
