Common Questions About Infrared Leak Detection
When Should I Schedule an Infrared Scan?
Some triggers are obvious: a spike in your water or energy bill, a damp spot on a wall, a musty odor that suggests mold growth, or the sound of running water when no fixtures are on. Infrared scanning is also a smart step when a standard visual inspection hasn’t identified the source of a problem, or when you want to document the condition of a property before buying, selling, or starting a renovation.
Does the Scan Require Cutting or Opening Walls?
No. Our technicians read the thermal signature of your walls, floors, and ceilings from the surface. There’s no cutting, no drilling, and no removal of wall material to locate the source of a leak. If repairs are needed after detection, we can discuss that separately.
Can I Get Documentation of What the Scan Finds?
Ask us about inspection documentation when you schedule. Our team can explain what’s available for your situation, including whether findings can be shared with your insurance company or other parties involved in the property.
