Thermal Imaging Leak Detection — Ryde

Job location: Ryde

Called in to find a mystery leak at a property a builder was working on. Using a HIKMICRO thermal imaging camera, Steve pinpointed the cold spots caused by escaping water — without lifting a single floorboard unnecessarily. The thermal images clearly show the moisture trail beneath the bath and floor, leading directly to the source. Unlike specialist leak detection companies who simply locate the problem and leave, Steve is fully equipped to carry out the repair on the same visit — less damage, less time, one call-out.
