Infrared Leak Detection in Portland

Find Hidden Moisture Without Opening Walls or Floors

Our Infrared Leak Detection Services give Portland homeowners a non-invasive way to investigate hidden water leaks and water damage before opening finished surfaces. Using an infrared scanning camera, we look for temperature patterns that may indicate moisture behind walls or beneath floors.

Water stains, unexplained dampness, or damage with no visible source can make it difficult to know where an investigation should begin. Thermal imaging helps narrow the area of concern while supporting our Leak Detection Without Destruction™ principle.

Call (503) 843-8975 to request infrared leak detection for unexplained moisture, water damage, or another suspected hidden condition.

What an Infrared Scanning Camera Can Reveal

An infrared scanning camera displays differences in surface temperature. Our technicians interpret those patterns alongside visible symptoms and other property conditions rather than treating every temperature difference as proof of a leak.

Infrared scanning may help identify:

• Water leaks and the damage they’ve caused: Temperature patterns may indicate moisture behind walls, beneath floors, or near other finished surfaces.
• Energy leaks: Thermal differences may reveal areas where conditioned air or heat is escaping.
• Electrical “hot spots” that could be fire hazards: Unusual heat patterns can indicate an area that warrants further evaluation.
• Pests that have built nests in your home: Heat signatures may point to concealed pest activity.

A thermal pattern indicates that further investigation may be needed. It doesn’t automatically confirm the source or cause. Surface materials, airflow, nearby equipment, and other conditions can affect what the camera shows, so additional testing may be appropriate when infrared findings alone don’t establish the leak location.

How Our Infrared Leak Detection Process Works

We begin by discussing the symptoms and the areas where you’ve noticed stains, dampness, or other signs of damage. Access to the affected spaces allows our technician to review visible conditions and scan relevant surfaces.

During the non-invasive inspection, we evaluate thermal patterns and compare them with the available evidence. We then explain our findings and whether another detection method or evaluation by an appropriate repair professional may be needed. Detection identifies a suspected location or condition. Repair decisions are handled separately.

Trained Leak Detection Specialists™

We bring more than 40 years of industry experience to each leak investigation. As the original Leak Detection Specialists™, we provide our technicians with rigorous training and continue researching leak detection technology and methods.

Our technicians are expected to arrive on time, work within the stated timeframe, treat your property with respect, and leave the premises clean. Before work begins, our Know Before You Go approach provides honest, upfront pricing so you can make an informed decision.
