The Process

Built Around Your Property

Wildfire defense isn't one-size-fits-all. Here's how we get from first conversation to protected property.

Assess

Tell us about your property, water source, terrain, and what you're trying to protect. We'll recommend the right system and walk you through exactly what installation looks like for your situation.

Design & Plan

We engineer a system built specifically for your property. Water source, coverage area, pump sizing, activation — all designed around your land. We handle permitting and contractor coordination where required.

Install & Protect

Our team or a vetted local contractor handles installation. From that day forward, your property is protected — ready to activate the moment you need it, from wherever you are.

FLAGSHIP

PERMANENT SYSTEMS

Always-on roof and structure protection. Draws from any water source. Remotely controlled from anywhere. The only system that works when you're not there — ideal for vacation properties, remote land, or anyone who doesn't want to think about it.

SEMI-PERMANENT

SEMI-PERMANENT SYSTEMS

Permanently installed roof coverage. Mobile pump cart connects in seconds. Best of both worlds. Built for full-time homeowners who are present when it counts — permanent roof coverage, with a pump you connect in minutes when conditions change.

MOBILE

MOBILE SYSTEMS

Fully portable pump, hose lines, and sprinklers. Deploy in under 20 minutes from any water source. The lowest barrier to professional-grade protection — no installation, no permits, just real capability you can deploy from any water source.
