Abstract
Methods and systems for analyzing an integrity of a roof covering are presented. One or more roof sections of a structure may be identified with one or more processors. An airflow may then be directed over one or more shingles or other discontinuous roof covering materials of the roof section by an airflow unit. A respective lift for each of the shingles may then be observed by an imaging unit. An adhesion score may then be determined for each of the one or more shingles using the one or more processors. This adhesion score may be based on the respective lift. An overall roof integrity rating may then be generated by the one or more processors, based on the one or more adhesion scores. The overall roof integrity rating may then be provided by the one or more processors to a user of a computing device.
