We’ve all seen it before. That nasty brown spot on the ceiling. It starts out as barely noticeable but slowly gets bigger and bigger until there’s a giant brown eyeball staring at you from above, soon to be followed by a sagging ceiling or even a full-blown drip or pool of water!

Water damage can be unsightly at best and deadly at worst if it causes severe mold to grow. Identifying the cause of water damage is vital! Sure, you could start tearing up the ceiling or wall starting from where the water damage is, but you’ll most likely find yourself causing more and more damage without finding the real source of the leak. That’s because water from a leak can travel a very long distance before there is any evidence of it.

Thermal imaging is a very simple and effective way to identify the source and cause of water damage. Running hot or cold water while an expert is operating a thermal imaging camera allows them to quickly and easily locate where the water is going. After finding the suspected problem area, the findings can be verified by a moisture meter and addressed by a qualified professional.
