If a pipe is leaking inside your wall, how will you find out? Eventually, you will see the damage it causes, but you probably don’t want to wait that long. So, are there any alternative ways to find out? It can be tricky to find a leak, especially if it is a slow leak, but using an infrared camera can give you early warning.
The camera needs to be set for a range of temperatures that covers both the lowest and highest temperature with some room for variance. Depending on whether it is cold or warm water leaking, there should be a difference in temperature that is noticeable. The areas that can be focused on are those where there are pipes running inside the walls. You might need to run the water to get a reading that will give you an idea where the leak is located.
To verify the findings, a moisture meter can be used to detect elevated moisture content where there is a suspected leak.
