Abstract
Methods and systems for analyzing an integrity of a roof covering are presented. An airflow may be directed over one or more shingles or other discontinuous roof covering materials by an airflow unit. A respective lift for each of the discontinuous roof covering materials may then be observed by an imaging unit, and an overall roof integrity rating may then be generated by the one or more processors based on the respective lift of the discontinuous roof covering materials.
