RoofGuard IoT Sensor Network + Monitoring Service
A weatherproof IoT sensor suite (moisture, temperature, impact detection) installed on the roof deck that streams data to a cloud dashboard. Homeowners receive alerts when moisture ingress, thermal stress, or impact damage is detected before visible leaks appear. Installation is one-time; monitoring is recurring.

Key Features
- Wireless moisture sensors embedded under shingles at 4–6 roof zones
- Thermal imaging via low-cost thermal sensors to detect ice dams and ventilation failure

Homeowners can't predict or prevent expensive roof damage before it becomes catastrophicHomeowners face unexpected, costly roof repairs that often exceed $10,000+ because they lack early warning signs of deterioration. Current solutions like annual inspections are infrequent, expensive, and often miss developing problems until damage is severe. Homeowners are searching for practical ways to avoid these emergencies but have no reliable system to monitor roof health proactively.
