Why Auburndale homes need this service

• Full-array drone thermal scan
• Handheld FLIR confirmation of flagged anomalies
• Written report for warranty submission

Local conditions we work around

• Twin-lake mineral mist

  Homes near both Lake Ariana and Lake Myrtle pick up a light mineral film most mornings, similar to Winter Haven but on a smaller scale given Auburndale's more modest lake frontage.

• US-92 corridor road film

  The highway connecting Lakeland and Winter Haven carries steady commuter and freight traffic, leaving a road film on homes closest to the corridor.

• Sports complex event dust

  The Lake Myrtle sports complex draws heavy seasonal traffic for tournaments, kicking up extra dust on nearby homes during peak event weekends.

Older shingle homes cluster around Lake Ariana and downtown, with newer architectural shingle subdivisions built along the US-92 growth corridor toward Berkley. Pitches are generally moderate and roofs are easy to access from the ground.

Drone and handheld radiometric scanning

We fly a radiometric thermal camera over the full array under load, then follow up with handheld imaging on anything ambiguous or shaded. Radiometric means every pixel carries an actual temperature value, not just a false-colour gradient, so we can measure the delta between a suspect cell and its healthy neighbours instead of guessing from a pretty picture.

What infrared finds

Single-cell hot spots from micro-cracks or manufacturing defects. Whole-substring heating that points to a failed bypass diode. Warm junction boxes and connectors that signal a resistive joint on its way to an arc fault. Reverse-biased shaded cells that soiling or a new tree branch has pushed into dissipating power instead of producing it.
