The blind spot in your portfolio

You've renovated the kitchens.
Replaced the HVAC.
Nobody has looked under the building in years.

Pre-1965 pier-and-beam construction in Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Seminole Heights, and St. Pete's historic districts carries decades of decisions nobody documented. That blind spot creates real costs.

  • Tenant turnoverNo documentation of pre-existing conditions means you absorb repair costs or lose disputes you should have won.
  • Insurance renewalsFlorida carriers are asking about crawl space conditions. You can't answer what you haven't seen.
  • Capital planningUnknown moisture or deterioration surfaces as an emergency expense instead of a budget line item.
  • Vendor accountabilityNo pre-work baseline means no way to verify a contractor fixed what they were paid to fix.
A 1940s subfloor carrying loads it was never designed for.

Vintage buildings look beautiful from the street. Underneath, they're often a patchwork of unpermitted repairs, abandoned wiring, and deteriorating structure that nobody has looked at in years.

You can't manage what you haven't seen. A PierScan gives you the visual record to make decisions — before those decisions get made for you.

What the robot sees

Every PierScan delivers a complete
visual record of the crawl space.

4K HD Video
Complete footage of every accessible zone — piers, beams, joists, plumbing, electrical, vapor barrier.
Annotated Photos
15–25 still images with arrows, circles, and neutral captions. Every finding photographed and pinned.
Zone Map
Foundation outline divided into numbered zones. Every finding pinned to its location.
Observation Summary
Neutral language only. Every finding documented as seen — no interpretation, no diagnosis.
Structural Members
Piers, beams, and joists documented by zone. Surface condition noted. Visual observation only.
Moisture & Drainage
Standing water, saturated soil, surface discoloration, and mineral deposits — all documented by zone.
Biological Indicators
Columnar structures, granular debris, nesting material — documented with close-up photos. Type undetermined.
Access Limitations
Every zone the robot couldn't reach is logged by location and reason. Nothing goes undocumented.
Portfolio applications

Five ways asset managers
put PierScan to work.

One relationship. Standardized documentation across every building in your portfolio.

01
Pre-lease baseline
Document crawl space condition before a new tenant moves in. Settle deposit disputes with photographic evidence instead of competing claims.
02
Annual condition audit
Year-over-year visual record of every building. Catch deterioration before it becomes an emergency capital expense.
03
Asset valuation & due diligence
For refinance, acquisition, or sale. Show buyers and lenders exactly what's under every building — documented, not described.
04
Vendor work verification
Pre- and post-documentation for any scope of work. Visual confirmation the job was done — and conditions weren't made worse.
05
Insurance renewal support
Florida carriers are tightening underwriting on older pier-and-beam stock. A PierScan report documents proactive maintenance in the carrier's language.
Portfolio value

What PierScan delivers
across your entire portfolio.

→
One documentation standard for every building
Same format, same zone mapping, same neutral observation language — whether you have 5 buildings or 50.
→
Capital expense visibility
Know what's deteriorating before it becomes a line item in next quarter's emergency budget. Year-over-year scans turn surprises into planned expenses.
→
Dispute resolution with evidence
Tenant claims and contractor disputes settled with visual records, not competing narratives. The report is the neutral third party.
→
Insurance documentation
A timestamped visual record of proactive maintenance. Share it with carriers during renewal — show, don't just tell.
→
Timeline scoped to your portfolio
Portfolio jobs are scheduled and delivered based on building count and scope. We agree on a timeline before work begins — no surprises.
Florida insurance update

Carriers are tightening underwriting for older pier-and-beam properties across Tampa Bay. A PierScan report gives you documentation of proactive maintenance — potentially keeping coverage options open and supporting favorable renewal terms.

One relationship

You don't need a different vendor for every building. PierScan documents your entire portfolio under one relationship — same robot, same report format, same contact. Schedule a cluster of buildings in a single day.

Pricing

Portfolio pricing is quoted per scope — building count, crawl space footprint, and documentation frequency all factor in. Contact us for a consultation before committing to anything.

What PierScan is — and isn't

Visual documentation.
Completely independent.

PierScan has no financial relationship with any contractor, vendor, or repair service. The report is the product — nothing else follows from it.

PierScan documents
  • What the robot's 4K camera sees in every zone
  • Zone-mapped locations of every observation
  • Annotated photos with neutral captions
  • Full video footage of the complete crawl space scan
  • Surface conditions, moisture patterns, biological indicators
  • Every area the robot couldn't reach, logged by zone and reason
PierScan never
  • Identifies pipe materials or estimates their age
  • Assesses structural adequacy or load capacity
  • Names biological indicators — mold, termites, pests
  • Recommends repairs or estimates costs
  • Provides a warranty of any observed condition
  • Interprets what any finding means

A timestamped visual record from an independent service carries weight with contractors, insurance carriers, and ownership groups precisely because no professional opinion is attached. You take the report to whichever licensed professional fits the situation.
