What Is Thermal Imaging Leak Detection?

When water escapes from pipes, it changes the temperature of surrounding surfaces. Infrared cameras capture these changes, turning them into clear images that show where leaks are hiding.

This allows us to see leaks that can’t be spotted with the naked eye — without lifting floors, drilling walls, or causing unnecessary damage.

👉 We make invisible leaks visible.

Why Use Thermal Imaging?

  • Non-invasive – no need to lift tiles or damage walls.
  • Fast diagnosis – large areas scanned in minutes.
  • Pinpoint accuracy – highlights the exact source of hidden leaks.
  • Insurance-ready proof – thermal images included in Trace & Access reports.

It’s a method trusted across residential, commercial, and industrial settings where leaks can be hard to find.

Use Cases – Where Thermal Imaging Works Best

  • Homes – underfloor heating leaks, bathroom and kitchen pipe runs, damp patches with no visible source.
  • Commercial buildings – offices, schools, shops, and healthcare sites with complex systems.
  • Property management – damp ceilings and walls quickly traced without guesswork.

Our Thermal Imaging Process in Belfast

We keep our approach simple and effective:

1. Assessment: discuss symptoms such as damp patches, boiler pressure loss, or unusual water bills.
2. Infrared scan: thermal cameras highlight abnormal temperature patterns.
3. Leak pinpointing: confirm location with precision, reducing disruption.
4. Repair: most leaks repaired during the same visit.
5. Reporting: detailed reports with images, notes, and cost summaries for insurers.

Insurance Support With Thermal Imaging Reports

Most Belfast homeowners are covered under Trace & Access insurance, which pays for finding and exposing hidden leaks.

Our thermal imaging reports include:

  • Clear thermal images of the leak location;
  • Written analysis and test notes;
  • Repair details and cost summaries.

These reports are accepted by all major insurers in Northern Ireland, helping you recover costs quickly.

Thermal Imaging Examples in Belfast

In West Belfast, a homeowner spotted a damp patch on the ceiling but couldn’t find the source. Our engineers used thermal imaging to confirm a heating pipe leak above, without lifting a floorboard. The section was repaired the same day, and the £1,750 cost reimbursed by the insurer under Trace & Access cover.
“The thermal camera picked up a leak we couldn’t see. Only one tile was lifted, and the insurer accepted the report straight away.” – Mark, Lisburn Road
“Our office had unexplained damp. The infrared scan found the leak in minutes. Quick repair, minimal disruption.” – David, Belfast City Centre
