Insurance Claims Inspections for Wilmington & New Hanover County

Holmes and Watson provides Insurance Claims Inspections across Wilmington and New Hanover County — typically a 3.5–4 hours mobilization from our Winston-Salem headquarters into the NC Coast / Cape Fear. We routinely fly across Downtown Wilmington, Riverwalk, and Mayfaire, and we coordinate FAA airspace authorizations and property-management access for every job.

Wilmington's commercial market includes a substantial historic downtown stock, modern Mayfaire-area retail and office, and a heavy industrial and port logistics footprint along the Cape Fear River. Salt air and hurricane exposure define the inspection cadence — and post-storm work surges every season. Within that mix, Insurance Claims Inspections addresses drone documentation produces objective, defensible visual evidence faster than any climbing crew, with no climbing risk on storm-compromised roofs.

Why Wilmington Properties Use Drone Insurance Claims Inspections

Hurricane-damaged roofs are dangerous to walk. Adjusters and owners need objective, time-stamped aerial documentation as soon as it is safe to fly, and traditional roof crews can't keep up with demand during a regional event. Drone inspection produces defensible evidence for the claims process as quickly as conditions allow. Teams in Wilmington typically use drone claim documentation as soon as practical after any major weather event affecting commercial property, for fire-damage assessment of unsafe structures, and any claim where ground-level documentation is dangerous or insufficient.
