Non-Invasive Infrared Leak Detection in Nassau County, FL
Pinpoint Hidden Water Leaks Without Demolition
In Nassau County, from the historic structures of Fernandina Beach to the modern homes in Yulee, a hidden water leak is a disruption you simply don't need. Whether it's a mysterious stain on the ceiling or a musty odor that won't go away, the uncertainty is stressful. Traditional troubleshooting often involves tearing out drywall just to "see what's going on." American Leak Detection of Jacksonville offers a more convenient, science-backed alternative. We use advanced thermal imaging technology to locate hidden moisture behind walls and floors without swinging a single hammer.
Our goal is to give you answers, not a construction project. By visualizing temperature differences caused by evaporation and water intrusion, we can map the problem area with precision. This means you get a clear diagnosis quickly, allowing you to fix the issue with minimal disruption to your home and life.
Why Guesswork is Inconvenient
Chasing a leak without the right tools is a recipe for frustration. Water travels along beams and pipes, meaning the wet spot on your ceiling could be twenty feet away from the actual leak. Opening walls based on guesses is messy, expensive, and time-consuming.
Using infrared technology is the smart, efficient choice.
- Avoid Unnecessary Damage: We scan surfaces instead of destroying them.
- Speed Up Repairs: Pinpointing the exact source means your plumber knows exactly where to work.
- Catch Problems Early: Detect moisture before it turns into visible mold or structural rot.
- Verify Fixes: Confirm that a repair was successful by ensuring the moisture pattern is gone.

Advanced Thermal Imaging Technology
We don't rely on hunches. Our process is a forensic investigation of your building's envelope. We utilize professional-grade Infrared (IR) Cameras that detect minute temperature variations on building surfaces. Since wet materials conduct heat differently from dry ones, evaporation creates a distinct "thermal signature" that our trained technicians can interpret.
This allows us to "see" inside your walls, ceilings, and floors. We combine this thermal data with moisture meters to verify our findings, creating a comprehensive map of the water intrusion. We can trace a roof leak to its entry point or follow a plumbing failure behind a tiled shower wall, all without removing a single tile.
One-Stop Resolution: Detection & Repair
The ultimate convenience is having a single team that can handle the entire process. American Leak Detection of Jacksonville offers a seamless transition from detection to resolution. We don't just hand you a thermal image and leave. Once we identify the source of the leak—whether it's a pipe, a roof defect, or a window seal—we have the capabilities to perform the necessary repairs.
This turnkey approach saves you the hassle of explaining the problem to a new contractor. We can handle the access, the repair, and the verification. However, we believe in transparency and flexibility: while we offer this comprehensive service for your convenience, you remain in control. You are free to use our detailed thermal report to direct any contractor of your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can thermal cameras see through walls?
Not exactly. They see surface temperature. However, because moisture affects the temperature of drywall or wood (usually making it cooler due to evaporation), the camera creates a visible pattern that reveals what is happening behind the surface.
Will you have to cut holes to find the leak?
In most cases, no. The primary benefit of infrared inspection is that it is non-destructive. We only recommend opening a wall if we have strong evidence of a leak, and we can tell you exactly where to open it to minimize damage.
Can you fix the leak once you find it?
Yes. We are a full-service provider. Depending on the source (plumbing, roof, etc.), we can often perform the repair ourselves or coordinate the necessary work, saving you the trouble of finding another contractor.
Does this work for roof leaks?
Yes, infrared is excellent for finding roof leaks, especially on flat roofs where water can travel long distances under the membrane. We can often trace the path of moisture back to the point of entry.
