Thermal Leak Detection
Thermal Leak Detection
Water changes how a surface holds heat. Infrared finds the cold or warm signature of a leak behind finishes, then moisture and acoustic methods confirm it before anyone opens the wall.
Symptoms we're called for
- Stains with no visible source
- Warm or cold spots on floors and ceilings
- A meter that moves with everything off
- A leak that only appears under certain conditions
Property types
- Homes, condos and townhouses
- Strata buildings and parkades
- Commercial and institutional interiors
Methods used
- Infrared scanning of suspect surfaces
- Moisture metering to confirm wet signatures
- Acoustic correlation on pressurized lines
- Before-and-after verification scans
Limitations, stated plainly
- Thermal alone does not prove a leak; confirmation methods are part of the service
- Layers of finish, insulation and air gaps affect visibility
- Intermittent leaks may need testing under the triggering condition
What you receive
- Annotated thermal images of each finding
- Confirmation results from moisture or acoustic testing
- A written report with the located source or clear next steps
Next steps
- Repair the confirmed source with the right trade
- Dry affected materials with verification
- Re-scan after repair to close the file
