Hail Damage Assessment

Hail storms are one of the most devastating and unpredictable risks facing Alberta crop producers. When hail hits, the damage pattern across a field is rarely uniform — some areas may be completely destroyed while others escape with minor damage. Accurate documentation of this variation is critical for fair insurance settlements.

Our hail damage assessment service deploys drones to capture high-resolution aerial imagery of your affected fields. We fly at low altitude to capture the level of detail needed to see stem breakage, leaf shredding, and pod damage from above. The resulting images are stitched into georeferenced maps that clearly show the damage gradient across your field.

Multispectral imaging adds another layer of data, revealing the physiological impact on crop tissue that may not be immediately visible in standard photographs. This is especially useful for assessing damage to crops like canola where the full impact of hail on pods and stems may not be apparent for several days after the event.

Our damage reports include severity zone maps, affected acreage calculations, and high-resolution imagery that insurance adjusters from AFSC and private hail insurers can use to supplement their own assessments. Having comprehensive aerial documentation strengthens your claim and helps ensure you receive a fair settlement.
