Infrared Leak Detection in Stamford, CT

Pinpoint Hidden Leaks with Advanced Thermal Imaging

When you suspect a hidden water leak, you need clear answers fast. At American Leak Detection of Connecticut, we provide expert infrared leak detection services using advanced thermal imaging. This proven, non-invasive technology allows our technicians to "see" behind walls and floors to pinpoint the exact source of moisture without destructive guesswork, saving you time, money, and stress.

What is Infrared Leak Detection and How Does It Work?

Infrared (or thermal imaging) is a powerful, non-destructive technology. Our certified technicians use a specialized camera that reads the surface temperatures of your property.

• When a pipe leaks behind a wall or under a floor, the moisture causes the surrounding material (drywall, wood, or concrete) to change temperature.
• The infrared camera detects these subtle temperature differences, which appear as distinct patterns on a screen.
• This allows our team to identify the precise location and scope of a hidden water leak without having to cut, drill, or demolish any part of your property.

Common Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak

A hidden leak can cause significant damage before you see a single drop of water. Call us for an inspection if you notice:

• Unexplained damp spots or discoloration on walls or ceilings.
• A persistent musty odor that could indicate mold.
• Warped flooring, loose tiles, or peeling paint.
• A sudden, unexplained increase in your water bill.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does infrared find leaks?

Infrared cameras detect temperature differences. Water from a leak (even a tiny one) is usually cooler or warmer than the surrounding drywall or flooring. The camera creates a "heat map" that allows our technicians to visually identify these wet areas.

Can you find leaks behind walls or under floors?

Yes. This is the primary strength of infrared technology. It allows us to detect moisture behind surfaces and under flooring by identifying the temperature variations, making it possible to spot leaks in hard-to-reach spaces without demolition.

Is the infrared detection process safe for my home?

Yes, the thermal imaging process is 100% safe, passive, and non-destructive. It is the same technology used for home energy audits. We simply scan your property with a digital camera that analyzes surface temperatures.

Will I receive a report for my insurance or contractor?

Yes. Each client receives clear documentation, often including thermal photos and notes on our findings. This report is invaluable for insurance claims or for providing a precise "map" to your plumber or contractor to plan repairs.
