Why Wilmington Properties Use Drone Stockpile Volumetrics

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 stockpile volumetrics for monthly or quarterly inventory reconciliation, audit support, end-of-period reserves reporting, and any inventory question where ground methods are dangerous or impractical.
