YDQA: Ep 12 - "How are drones being used for inspections?"

In this episode, John Dickow interviews Jason Koonce, owner of 107 Technologies, who specializes in aerial inspections using drones. Jason shares his expertise in using drones for home inspections and explains the valuable applications and tools he utilizes.

With his 3D thermal models, Jason can detect moisture and identify energy loss, crucial factors in maintaining a safe and efficient home. By visually demonstrating the issues and explaining them to homeowners, he ensures they understand the problems and can find the right solutions.

Discover how drones revolutionize the inspection process and provide unparalleled insights that traditional methods cannot match. Jason recounts a fascinating case where he discovered an airflow problem in a house with multiple roof angles. Despite the homeowner's attempt to improve ventilation by adding turbines, the thermal drone revealed that the airflow was still inefficient. This valuable information helped the homeowner identify the correct solution and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Jason shares the advantages of using drones for inspections, such as increased safety, reduced damage to roofs, and faster data collection. He uses the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Thermal drone with infrared and 3D features, allowing him to provide comprehensive and accurate thermal envelope data to clients.

Moreover, Jason demonstrates the mapping capabilities of drones, using elevation data to analyze water runoff and prevent erosion. He highlights the importance of finding the real value in your drone services and emphasizes the need to solve problems rather than just flying a drone.

If you're interested in finding your own niche in the drone industry or seeking inspiration for innovative drone applications, this episode is a must! Learn from Jason's expertise, dedication, and practical advice to make your mark in the world of drone inspections.
