Seek a Leak

30/07/2024

By detecting the difference in temperature between a moist area and the surrounding dry areas thermal imaging can help detect moisture issues that would not be visible during a limited visual inspection. Seek a leak thermal imaging provides homeowners and property managers with a diagnostic scan and thorough reports aimed at maintenance efficiency. We look out for high moisture readings and check out any potential leaks that could cause problems. We will provide you with clear infrared images of normally invisible diagnostic evidence that can save home owners additional expenses if detected before real damage can occur.

Mould Growth

Conventional home inspectors will usually tell you they have no knowledge of mould issues beyond what is apparent on the surface. If mould growth has started growing behind paneling or tiles, it may not be visible on the surface and go undetected. A thermal and moisture inspection will reveal these problems.

Water Leaks

Often conventional home inspectors will find only surface evidence of water leaks in basements or ceilings. A thermal inspection will reveal if the issue still persists and where the source of the problem exists, giving you the peace of mind that only certainty can bring.

Electrical Hotspots

A thermal imaging inspection of electrical components within a building can help reveal any disparities in operating equipment. Electrical components get hot before they fail so with our thermal imaging cameras we can detect and identify these hot spots which can lead to power outages and sometimes even fires.

Is your home built between the 1980's and the mid 2000's? If so, your home is more prone to being a leaky home which means it is important to look out for signs of a leaky home.

Mould and fungi
Although mould and fungi can be caused by poor ventilation, the presence of both on surfaces is another sign of a leaking home. Coloured or stained walls are one way to demonstrate this.

Musty odours
The smell of mould, water, and mildew is caused by external water getting into a house and creating a musty odour. Though, more often than not, there is no discernible odour.

Materials that have swollen
A leak can be absorbed by building materials such as skirtings and architraves, causing swelling or bulging.
