What we inspect

Docks and Waterfront Structures

We inspect docks, boat houses, pilings, and seawalls to ensure their structural integrity and safety. Using sonar and underwater imaging, we detect hidden damage like rotting pilings, corrosion, and compromised foundations that traditional inspections can easily miss.

Shoreline Health and Erosion

Our surveys measure beach attrition and shoreline stability, identifying early signs of erosion that could shrink your beachfront or impact your property’s value. Catching these changes early can save tens of thousands in future repairs.

Underwater Hazards and Debris

Tires, boats, construction waste — you name it, we find it. Our inspections map and document underwater debris that can create hazards for swimmers, boats, and your waterfront structures, ensuring your shoreline is clean, safe, and usable.

Invasive Plant Species

We detect and identify invasive aquatic plants like Eurasian milfoil that threaten native ecosystems and reduce water usability. Early detection helps protect your shoreline, maintain your property’s health, and avoid costly removal efforts down the road.

Overall Waterfront Safety

From submerged obstacles to compromised water structures, our inspections give you a complete picture of your waterfront’s safety. Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining a property, we arm you with the knowledge you need to enjoy the water with confidence.

What is ShoreScore?

ShoreScore provides detailed shoreline inspections for waterfront properties using advanced aquatic drone technology. We uncover hidden risks like erosion, structural issues, debris, and invasive species that typical home inspections miss.

Why do I need a shoreline inspection?

Traditional home inspections don’t cover anything underwater. Shoreline structures like docks, boat houses, and seawalls are exposed to constant wear and environmental damage. Our inspections help protect your investment, ensure safety, and maintain the health and value of your waterfront.

How does the inspection process work?

  1. 1Book your inspection online.
  2. 2Our team deploys the ShoreScore vessel to survey your waterfront.
  3. 3We compile sonar and visual data into a detailed report, delivered within 24 hours.
  4. 4Need clarification? We’re available to walk you through every finding.

How long does an inspection take?

Once onsite, most surveys are completed in under an hour. You’ll receive a full report within 24 hours.

How is ShoreScore different from a diver inspection?

Our autonomous technology gathers more comprehensive data, faster, and with less disruption to your property. Divers focus on specific areas; ShoreScore captures everything — from sonar lakebed maps to real-time underwater imagery — and builds a complete picture of your waterfront health.

Will ShoreScore help me if I’m buying or selling a waterfront property?

Absolutely. Sellers can showcase a clean shoreline to maximize property value, and buyers can uncover hidden issues before closing — giving you leverage during negotiations and peace of mind for the future.

Do you offer inspections year-round?

Yes, though peak inspection season typically runs from May through August when shoreline conditions are most visible. We recommend scheduling early, especially in summer months when demand is highest.
