5. Uncovering Hidden Damage Thermal scans reveal what the eye simply cannot see. By identifying temperature anomalies, we locate trapped moisture and structural delamination immediately following a storm event.
6. What the Survey Documents Hull & Structure Comprehensive assessment of cracks, stress fractures, and bulkhead condition. Mechanical & Electrical In-depth checks of engines, wiring, pumps, and mission-critical battery banks. Moisture Analysis Validation of hidden water pockets using calibrated moisture meters and thermography.
