Can Thermal Imaging detect Water Leaks?
Yes Thermal imaging can detect water leaks, water intrusion, and plumbing leaks inside walls before they become visible. Thermal Imaging can help you trace the leak back to the source, finding the area that needs to be repaired, some hard to find leaks surface several feet from the actual problem, thermal imaging can detect the path that the water is traveling, so you know where to make the repair. The dark blue area in the thermal image on the right shows where the water has entered through the roof traveling down against the ceiling joist of a vaulted knotty pine ceiling, the thermal imaging camera was able to detect this before it became visible, giving the homeowner a chance to make the necessary repairs before the leak had a chance to ruin the costly tongue and grove pine ceiling.
