ROV Inspections & Subsurface Monitoring
SubSierra Survey provides professional underwater inspections, surveys, and subsurface monitoring throughout the Sierra region using advanced remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Our services help boat owners, marinas, and lakefront property managers understand and manage what lies below the surface through high-resolution video, detailed documentation, and precise underwater observation.
We conduct boat hull inspections, dock and mooring evaluations, and underwater surveys to identify structural issues, assess asset condition, and support preventative maintenance planning. Each inspection includes a permanent digital record with mapped inspection points, photos, and video that clients can review through a secure inspection portal.
This platform allows clients to review inspection footage, track asset condition over time, and share reports with insurance providers, contractors, or property managers when needed. By combining modern ROV technology with structured digital reporting, SubSierra Survey delivers efficient, accurate, and reliable insight into underwater conditions.
