Gas Station Pre-Purchase Aerial Visual Documentation
A prospective buyer wanted a current, comprehensive view of a gas-station property before making a purchase decision. mdpAIR captured aerial video showing the overall site, roof surfaces, visible tank-vent components, access areas, and surrounding property context for remote review.

The buyer’s objective
The prospective buyer needed more than a street-level impression. The requested aerial views were intended to show the entire site and provide useful visual context around the building roof, visible tank vents, paved areas, access points, neighboring properties, and other observable features.
What the aerial site review documented
- Overall gas-station property layout and current visible conditions
- Building roof surfaces and rooftop features visible from the air
- Visible tank-vent components and their site context
- Fueling, parking, paved, circulation, and access areas
- Relationships to nearby roads, properties, and surrounding development
Fresh visuals for preliminary due diligence
Current drone video can help an out-of-area buyer understand a property before deciding whether to proceed with further investigation or travel. It can also help the buyer communicate specific questions to environmental consultants, inspectors, engineers, roofers, surveyors, attorneys, and other qualified professionals.
Important scope limitations
This service provides aerial visual documentation only. It is not a property inspection, environmental site assessment, petroleum-storage-system inspection, tank or line test, vapor or leak evaluation, roof inspection, structural analysis, survey, appraisal, code-compliance review, regulatory determination, title review, or guarantee of property condition. A drone cannot verify underground tanks, concealed systems, contamination, leaks, structural integrity, ownership boundaries, or code compliance.
Designed to complement professional due diligence
Aerial imagery can help a buyer identify questions and provide site context, but purchase decisions should rely on the appropriate licensed or qualified professionals and required records, testing, inspections, and legal review.

Pre-purchase aerial documentation FAQ
Can the buyer request close views of specific visible features?
Yes. A shot list can identify visible areas of interest, subject to airspace, safe operating distance, property access, site activity, privacy, weather, obstacles, and applicable flight rules.
Can drone video determine whether fuel systems are compliant?
No. Compliance, integrity, leaks, environmental conditions, and underground systems require records and evaluation by the appropriate qualified professionals and authorities.
What is needed for a quote?
