🚿 Interior Leak Detection

Bathroom, Kitchen & Ceiling Leak Detection

Wet ceiling, damp wall, or stain you can't trace — thermal imaging finds the source without blind cutting.

Interior Leaks Are Deceptive — Water Travels Before It Shows

Water finds the path of least resistance. A leak at a second-floor supply line fitting doesn't stay there — it runs along floor joists, drips onto subfloor, migrates to the nearest ceiling penetration, and appears on your first-floor ceiling 15 feet from where it started. Cutting open the ceiling directly below the stain finds nothing.

This is why most homeowners who try to find interior leaks themselves, or who call a general contractor without detection equipment, cut multiple holes and still don't find the source. Thermal imaging shows where the moisture concentration is — not where the water is currently dripping.

Mold Risk

Moisture inside walls and above ceilings that isn't dried out within 48–72 hours grows mold. A slow drip behind a bathroom wall can produce a significant mold colony in 2–3 weeks with no visible exterior sign. Detection stops the exposure before remediation becomes necessary.

Don't Cut Blind

If a contractor tells you they need to open multiple sections of drywall to "look for the leak," call us first. One thermal scan costs less than one drywall repair — and it tells you exactly where to look.

Common Interior Leak Sources

Shower Pan Failure The shower pan liner degrades over time — water seeps through tile grout lines and saturates the subfloor below. First sign is usually a soft or spongy bathroom floor, or a stain on the ceiling below.

Supply Line Fitting Failure Compression fittings and push-to-connect joints behind walls can fail slowly. Often only detected when the ceiling below shows a water stain — weeks after the leak began.

Dishwasher or Refrigerator Line Flexible supply lines to dishwashers and refrigerators are high-failure items. A slow drip under the unit saturates the subfloor before it's visible — thermal imaging finds it without moving appliances.

Toilet Wax Ring Failure A failed wax ring leaks at the base of the toilet — often only during flushing. Water routes under the tile and shows up as a ceiling stain or soft subfloor one floor below.

Wet Ceiling? Don't Guess Where It's Coming From.

Thermal imaging tells us exactly where the moisture is concentrated — before a single piece of drywall comes down.
