Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is one of the most effective non-invasive methods of identifying hidden water leaks and moisture issues without causing unnecessary damage to your property. At Leako Leak Detection, we use advanced thermal imaging and infrared cameras to detect subtle temperature differences within walls, floors and ceilings, helping us identify areas affected by escaping water or heating system faults.

Our specialist infrared cameras capture thermal patterns that are invisible to the naked eye, allowing us to locate temperature anomalies caused by leaking pipework, underfloor heating systems, central heating pipes, hot and cold water supplies, and moisture intrusion. This technology enables our engineers to investigate hidden problems quickly and accurately while reducing the need for exploratory damage.

Thermal imaging is particularly effective when used alongside other specialist leak detection techniques such as acoustic testing, tracer gas testing, moisture mapping, pressure testing and endoscope inspections. By combining multiple detection methods, we can accurately pinpoint the source of a leak and provide a comprehensive diagnosis, even in complex situations.

In addition to leak detection, infrared cameras are invaluable for identifying missing insulation, cold bridges, damp penetration, heating system inefficiencies and areas of excessive moisture that could lead to mould growth or structural damage. Every survey is tailored to the property and the suspected issue, ensuring the most effective detection methods are used.
