Most homeowners have had some experience with water damage. Whether it’s a leaky faucet, a drip in the ceiling, or cracked, brown drywall, you know that water damage can be an incredibly frustrating problem. One of the main reasons why it’s so frustrating has to do with the way water moves. It’s usually pretty rare that the source of a water leak is at the same location as the damage itself. Water loves to travel along pipes, framing, joists, or basically anything else that’s stored inside the walls, ceilings, or floors of your home.
Unfortunately, many people feel that the only way to find out where that water is traveling from is to rip open the walls, ceiling, or floors where the water damage is happening and trace it back to its’ source. However, there’s a non-invasive method that could help save you time and money – thermal imaging. Flowing water is often easy to spot based on its’ temperature. A professional home inspector can help you see inside walls, ceilings, and floors to identify the source of a water leak.
