Thermal Imaging and Moisture Detection in Niagara Falls
Thermal imaging highlights temperature differences that often indicate moisture. Meters then confirm whether a material is actually wet and how wet it is.
Common causes
- Water travelling laterally through floor assemblies
- Slow leaks inside walls and ceilings
- Moisture trapped under floating floors
- Condensation within building assemblies
Warning signs
- Cool spots on a wall with no visible stain
- Odour without an identifiable source
- Flooring lifting away from the wall edge
- Uneven drying progress across a room
