Cell Tower Inspections for Winston-Salem & Forsyth County

Holmes and Watson provides Cell Tower Inspections across Winston-Salem and Forsyth County — with crews based locally in Forsyth County into the Piedmont Triad. We routinely fly across Downtown, West End, and Ardmore, and we coordinate FAA airspace authorizations and property-management access for every job.

Winston-Salem combines a deep stock of pre-1960 brick and timber commercial buildings with a modern industrial corridor running east toward PTI Airport. The roofing mix is heavily TPO and modified-bitumen on flat commercial; older West End and Old Salem buildings push us into masonry facade work, parapet inspections, and delicate envelope diagnostics where invasive testing isn't acceptable. Within that mix, Cell Tower Inspections addresses a drone tower inspection can reduce climbing exposure for routine visual documentation and give engineers or asset managers organized imagery to review remotely.

Why Winston-Salem Properties Use Drone Cell Tower Inspections

Many Winston-Salem properties—including institutional buildings, historic structures, and warehouse conversions—benefit from non-invasive exterior review. Drone-based radiometric thermography can document patterns that may be consistent with moisture-related conditions, insulation anomalies, or thermal bridging without attaching equipment to the envelope. Teams in Winston-Salem typically use drone tower inspection for routine annual audits, post-storm damage assessment, before any planned climb (so the climber knows what to expect), during structural mod design, and any time tower data is needed without dispatching a climbing crew.
