Infrared Thermal Imaging
Advanced thermal cameras that can identify temperature differences caused by water leaks under concrete, providing visual confirmation of leak locations.
Infrared thermal imaging is a non-invasive technology that uses specialized cameras to detect and visualize temperature differences on surfaces. When water leaks occur under concrete slabs or behind walls, they create temperature variations that can be detected through the surface material.
Our technicians use high-resolution thermal cameras to scan the area, creating detailed thermal images that show hot and cold spots. These temperature patterns help us identify the presence and location of water leaks, even when they are completely hidden from view.
The Thermal Imaging Process:
- Initial assessment of the property and suspected leak areas
- Calibration of thermal imaging equipment for optimal results
- Systematic scanning of floors, walls, and ceilings
- Analysis of thermal patterns to identify anomalies
- Correlation of thermal data with other detection methods
- Documentation of findings with thermal images for reference
Benefits of Thermal Imaging
Visual Confirmation
Provides visual evidence of leaks through thermal images, making it easier to understand and verify the problem.
Non-Invasive Technology
Detects leaks without the need for destructive testing, excavation, or removal of concrete slabs.
Large Area Scanning
Can quickly scan large areas to identify potential problem spots, making it efficient for both targeted and comprehensive inspections.
Detects Hidden Moisture
Can identify moisture issues that are not yet visible to the naked eye, allowing for early intervention before significant damage occurs.
Works Through Various Materials
Effective through concrete, drywall, tile, and various other materials commonly found in residential, commercial, and government properties.
Identifies Patterns
Shows patterns of water movement and moisture distribution, helping to identify the source and extent of leaks.
When to Use Thermal Imaging
When you suspect a slab leak but there are no visible signs
When you need to scan large areas quickly to identify potential problem spots
When you need visual documentation of leak issues for insurance claims
For preventive inspections to catch moisture issues before they cause damage
When you need to verify the extent of water damage after a known leak
When you want to minimize property disruption during leak detection
