Why Davenport homes need this service

• Full-array drone thermal scan
• Handheld FLIR confirmation on flagged anomalies
• Written report suitable for warranty submission or a property manager's file

Local conditions we work around

• Theme park corridor traffic film

  US-27 and the I-4 interchange area carry some of the heaviest tourist and commuter traffic in Polk County, leaving a steady road film on homes closest to the corridor.

• Vacant-home neglect buildup

  Short-term rental and seasonal-occupancy homes in Providence and Ridgewood Lakes often go six to twelve months without anyone on-site to notice a dirty array, so buildup here tends to be heavier than in owner-occupied Polk neighborhoods.

• Golf course turf dust and pollen

  Homes bordering the area's numerous golf courses pick up fertilized turf dust and grass pollen during mowing season.

Almost entirely newer architectural shingle on 2010s and 2020s subdivision construction, with tile roofs common in the higher-end Providence and Ridgewood Lakes communities. Pitches are moderate and access is generally easy across the newer stock.

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.
