Built for people responsible for a property.
Homeowners
Keep a dated record of your roof, gutters, trees and outbuildings. See what changed between seasons, and have clear photos ready when you talk to a contractor.
Property managers
Monitor several properties on a schedule, in the same format every time. Easy to compare, and easy to share with owners, boards and vendors.
Businesses and commercial owners
Document roofs, parking areas, drainage and grounds across your sites. Build a baseline and track maintenance over time.
Practical reasons to keep a record.
Maintenance monitoring
Repeat visits show slow changes: roof wear, debris, vegetation growing toward buildings, and drainage that is not working as it should.
Storm documentation
A dated visual record of visible exterior conditions after severe weather, ready to share with the people you choose. Read more
Baseline record
A dated starting point for the condition of a property, before work begins, before a season or when responsibility changes hands.
Seasonal and annual reviews
Look at the same areas after winter, after the growing season or on a schedule that suits you.
Vegetation and drainage review
See tree growth near roofs, clogged gutters, ponding and runoff paths from above, where they are easy to understand.
After a storm, a dated visual record.
When severe weather passes, a visit documents the visible exterior conditions on the day, compared with your earlier baseline when you have one. You get photos, notes and a clear report to share with the contractors, managers or companies you choose.
A report that is easy to read and easy to keep.
Dated aerial photos
High-resolution images from repeatable viewpoints, with the date on every one.
Findings in plain English
Each item is described neutrally, with a suggested follow-up timing so you know what to look at first.
Before-and-after comparisons
Photos from earlier visits shown next to the current ones, with dates.
A short summary
A plain-English summary and next steps on page one, written for someone who is not a specialist.
Property history
A timeline across visits so you can see the direction of change at a glance.
Honest coverage
Every report states which areas were reviewed and which were not. The score counts only what was assessed.
Scope. GroundTrace provides aerial visual documentation and observations. It is not a home inspection and does not replace engineering, structural, roofing, arborist, insurance, code-compliance or other licensed professional services.
What is inside your GroundTrace report.
Real pages from a sample GroundTrace report: the same layout you would receive, with illustrative data.
1A clear first page
Project, site, date and who it was prepared for, with a plain-English summary of what the visit found.
2Follow-up you can act on
A priority matrix and action items with an owner, due date and status for each item, so nothing gets lost between visits.
3Findings with marked-up photos
Each finding shows the photo, what is visible, why it might matter, a suggested action and a suggested timing.
Sample report. The photo and details shown are illustrative. Your report uses your own property photos, reviewed by a person before it reaches you.
