Prepare Your Property for Storm Season: UAScend Aerial Solutions

As storm season approaches North Queensland, property owners face the real risk of damage from cyclones, floods, and severe weather. Preparing your home or business is critical. However, many overlook one key step: documenting the condition of their roof and solar installations before disaster strikes. UAScend offers expert roof and solar inspections using industry-leading 100MP still imagery and 6K video to provide clear, undeniable evidence of your property's condition. This documentation can make a crucial difference when filing insurance claims after a storm event.

Why Roof and Solar Inspections Matter Before Storm Season

Storm damage claims often hinge on the condition of your property before the event. Insurance companies may deny claims if they find pre-existing issues such as loose roofing screws, debris buildup, or unsecured sheets and fixtures. These conditions can be seen as negligence or lack of maintenance, leaving you financially responsible for repairs.

UAScend’s inspections help you:

• Identify and fix potential vulnerabilities before storms hit.

• Provide detailed, high-resolution imagery to support insurance claims.

• Gain peace of mind knowing your property is documented by a CASA-approved, fully insured provider.

  
  

Many North Queensland residents have faced denied claims because their roofs were not properly maintained or documented. For example, a family in Cairns lost thousands of dollars when their insurer rejected their claim due to loose roofing sheets that were visible in post-storm inspections but had not been documented beforehand.

How UAScend’s Technology Provides Clear Evidence

UAScend uses advanced drone technology to capture 100MP still images and 6K video footage of your roof and solar panels. This high-quality imagery offers several benefits:

• Detailed inspection: Every screw, sheet, and fixture is visible, allowing for thorough assessment.

• Clear before-and-after comparison: Document your property’s condition before storms and compare it to post-event damage.

• Insurance support: Provide undeniable proof to your insurer, reducing disputes and speeding up claim processing.

  
  

This level of detail is difficult to achieve with traditional inspections, especially on large or complex roofs. UAScend’s drones can safely access hard-to-reach areas, ensuring no damage goes unnoticed.

Real Stories of Financial Loss Due to Poor Documentation

Several North Queensland homeowners have shared their experiences of denied insurance claims after storm damage. One case involved a couple whose roof had minor debris buildup and a few loose screws before a cyclone. After the storm, their insurer claimed the damage was due to poor maintenance and refused to cover repairs. Without documented proof of the roof’s condition before the cyclone, the couple faced thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses.

Another example is a business owner whose solar panels were damaged during a storm. The insurer questioned whether the panels were properly secured. Thanks to UAScend’s pre-storm inspection, the owner provided clear video evidence showing the panels were intact and well-maintained, resulting in a successful claim.

These stories highlight the importance of proactive inspections and documentation. Without them, you risk losing valuable insurance support when you need it most.
