Infrared Leak Detection in Bloomfield Hills

Non-Invasive Hidden Leak Scanning for Oakland County Homes

When water stains appear on a ceiling or your utility bill climbs without explanation, the source is rarely obvious. American Leak Detection of Southeast Michigan uses an infrared scanning camera to locate hidden leaks without cutting into walls, floors, or ceilings. Our Leak Detection Without Destruction™ approach means we identify the problem accurately before anyone picks up a tool.

We serve Bloomfield Hills and the surrounding Oakland County area. Before any appointment is confirmed, our Know Before You Go commitment puts transparent pricing in front of you so there are no surprises when the technician arrives.

What Sets American Leak Detection of Southeast Michigan Apart

The American Leak Detection network was founded in 1974, and that 50-plus years of proprietary technique development shapes how every technician on our team is trained. We’re the original Leak Detection Specialists™, and our methods are built in-house, not borrowed from general contractors or standard plumbing practice.

We’re also pre-approved with top insurers, which can support a faster, smoother claims process for Bloomfield Hills homeowners filing water damage claims. Service calls follow the same standard: technicians arrive on time, complete the inspection within the agreed time frame, and leave the property clean.

Four Things an Infrared Scanning Camera Can Find

Thermal imaging works by reading temperature differences invisible to the naked eye. Wet materials, heat-compromised areas, and insulation failures all register distinctly on the camera image, letting our technicians identify problems without a single exploratory cut. A single inspection can reveal:

  • Water leaks and the damage they’ve caused
  • Energy leaks that drive up heating and cooling costs across larger properties
  • Electrical “hot spots” that could be fire hazards
  • Pests that have built nests in your home

For Bloomfield Hills homeowners managing larger properties, the energy leak and electrical findings add value beyond moisture detection alone.

How an Infrared Leak Detection Inspection Works

Once your appointment is confirmed, our technician arrives and scans walls, floors, and ceilings with the infrared scanning camera. No demolition takes place at any point during detection. Most inspections are completed in a single visit.

At the end of the inspection, you receive a clear report covering what was found and the recommended next steps. You know what the problem is and where it is before any repair work begins, which helps keep the scope and cost of that repair accurate.

Why Bloomfield Hills Properties Benefit from Infrared Detection

Southeast Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles put real stress on pipes each winter and early spring. Leaks can develop beneath floors, behind walls, and in basements before any visible symptom appears. In Bloomfield Hills, where homes tend to be larger and original finishes are often worth preserving, an undetected leak can carry higher remediation costs than it would in more modest construction.

Older homes and properties with complex construction are particularly well-suited to non-invasive methods. Infrared scanning can identify the source without disturbing original materials, so the detection process doesn’t create its own repair bill. American Leak Detection of Southeast Michigan serves Bloomfield Hills and neighboring Oakland County communities with the same approach on every call.

    "Quick, Professional an Courteous Company"
    “Just wanted to leave a review about the company. They came out quickly, assessed the leak problem, and promptly made an appointment to come back and fix the leak. Ian was professional and courteous and showed me the problem and what was replaced. The office staff was very friendly and courteous. Because there was not cement removal and replacement needed which was originally considered in the estimate, they reduced the price accordingly. I highly recommend this company.”

    "Leak problem"
    “Just wanted to thank Steve Zendnr what a great guy! Found our problem immediately sent report to our insurance company and problem solved. Steve is very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great job!”
    - Don Maige
    “Amazing. Incredible. Professional. Prompt. Any adjective to describe perfection can be further inserted. To say I am impressed is an understatement. I called ALD at 9am due to what I thought would be a broken underground pool line. Trish took the call and immediately got us scheduled. She was efficient and pleasant on the phone and covered all bases. She got us into an afternoon appointment which we greatly appreciated. Steven arrived to our home around 3pm and went right to work. Within 30 minutes he found the issue. To my extreme surprise and delight, it was not a broken line under the ground. Instead, an o-ring had gone bad. He located it, fixed it and tested the entire system for any further issues. Finding none, I celebrated not having to dig up an area of my yard once again. Steven is a complete professional with an awesome personality to match. He handled everything with such a level of care. He and Trish both deserve raises :) Thank you so much again to Trish, Steven and the rest of the team at American Leak Detection. You made a stressful situation simply disappear.”

    "Excellent Professional Service"
    “My pool was down for seven years. We were able to get it completely resurfaced and up and running this year. After being down for so long, I knew there could be leaks in my lines. I was referred by Jim Garris Construction, who did the work on my pool, to call American Leak Detection because they are the best. Shawn was the technician that came to my house and was completely professional and very through. He spent the necessary time, not rushing at all, to give the complete detailed results of his inspection. He took time to show me everything he did, why he did it and made sure I had a clear picture of what was needed. I highly recommend American Leak Detection and you should ask for Shawn.”
