Careful work. Honest options.
About this service
What Is Thermal Imaging Leak Detection?
Thermal imaging leak detection uses an infrared camera to map temperature differences across a surface. Water, whether from a leaking supply line, a roof intrusion, or condensation, changes the surface temperature just enough for the camera to see it, even though it's completely invisible to the eye.
It's especially useful in Stillwater homes with finished walls, tile flooring, or vaulted ceilings, where cutting test holes to search for a leak would mean expensive, unnecessary repairs. We use it alongside moisture meters to confirm every reading before recommending any work.

What's included
What Our Thermal Imaging Leak Detection Includes
Our thermal imaging service includes a full-area infrared scan, moisture meter confirmation, and an annotated image report showing exactly what we found and where.
Moisture Meter Confirmation
Every thermal reading is checked with a moisture meter so we're never guessing based on temperature alone.
Annotated Image Report
You get the actual thermal images, marked and explained, not just a verbal description of where the problem might be.
Non-Invasive First Pass
Because the camera works from the surface, most homes need zero cutting or drilling just to find the leak.
How it works
Our Thermal Imaging Leak Detection Process
We ask where you've noticed stains, odors, or soft spots, and review your water usage before we bring in the camera.
We scan the suspect area and surrounding surfaces to establish a normal temperature baseline for comparison.
Any cooler or warmer patch consistent with moisture is marked and photographed for the record.
We probe or scan each flagged area with a moisture meter to confirm it's actually wet, not just a thermal false positive.
We show you the thermal images side-by-side with the moisture readings and explain exactly what we found.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods for Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
Infrared Thermal Camera
Captures a full-color heat map of walls, ceilings, and floors to reveal moisture invisible to the naked eye.
Moisture Meter
Confirms whether a thermal anomaly is actually wet material, ruling out false positives from sunlight or HVAC vents.
Borescope Camera
Lets us look inside a wall cavity through a small existing opening when a closer visual check is warranted.
Hygrometer
Measures ambient humidity in a room to rule out condensation as the cause of a thermal reading.
Real results
Before and after.
Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
Before: Ceiling Stain With No Clear Source
A brown stain kept spreading across a bedroom ceiling with no plumbing directly overhead.
After: Thermal imaging traced the moisture back to a second-floor bathroom supply line, confirmed by moisture meter before any drywall was opened.

Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
Before: Musty Smell Behind a Closet Wall
A persistent musty smell in a closet had the homeowner suspecting mold but unable to find a cause.
After: A thermal scan flagged a cool band along the baseboard, tracing to a slow leak from a nearby exterior hose bib line.

Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
Before: Buckling Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring near the kitchen had started to lift and buckle along one seam.
After: Thermal imaging and a moisture meter confirmed a leak under the slab; the homeowner avoided replacing flooring in rooms that weren't actually affected.

We trace the moisture source without opening up drywall on a hunch.
Musty odors that suggest hidden moisture
A thermal scan narrows down where the moisture is coming from so we can confirm it fast.
Flooring that's buckling, lifting, or feels soft
We check for a leak beneath the surface before recommending any flooring work.

Customer reviews
What Our Clients Say About Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
★★★★★
“I was dreading having to cut open a wall just to look for a leak. The thermal camera found it in about 20 minutes and they only opened up the exact spot that needed repair.”
DW
Dana W.Homeowner, Lakeview
✓ Verified“
★★★★★
“Appreciated that they didn't just tell me where the leak was — they showed me the actual thermal image and explained what I was looking at.”
CF
Carlos F.Homeowner, The Strip
✓ Verified★★★★★
“Non-invasive is right. No test holes, no guessing, just a clear picture of what was going on behind our drywall.”
GT
Grace T.Homeowner, Westwood
✓ VerifiedYes. A leak changes the surface temperature of the material around it just enough for an infrared camera to detect, even when there's no visible sign on the surface.
Thermal imaging leak detection in Stillwater typically costs $150 to $400, depending on the size of the area being scanned and how many rooms are involved.
No. We always confirm a thermal reading with a moisture meter. Temperature differences can come from sunlight, insulation gaps, or HVAC vents, so a second check keeps the diagnosis accurate.
Yes. Infrared cameras read surface temperature regardless of the flooring material, which makes this method especially useful on tile, hardwood, and laminate where cutting test holes isn't practical.
