Thermography

Thermal Imaging Aerial Service in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus

At 1st Choice Aerials, our certified drone thermographers deliver clear, accurate thermal data for commercial, industrial, and utility applications. From detecting hidden roof leaks to identifying electrical hot spots, our drone-based thermography services help you catch problems early — without costly shutdowns or risky climbs. We use the latest drone-mounted thermal cameras to provide actionable insights across roofs, solar arrays, electrical systems, and structural assets.
