American Leak Detection Employs Infrared Thermography To Detect Water Leaks

Nov. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- Dallas, Texas – American Leak Detection (http://www.alddfw.com), introduces Infrared Thermography as another piece of cutting edge technology that allows hidden water leaks to be detected. With Infrared Thermography, American Leak Detection can identify problem areas that can’t be seen by the naked eye - eliminating destructive probing methods. The infrared inspection can detect not only hidden water leaks and their origin, but also moisture that cannot be physically reached with moisture meters and even detects unseen pests.

“The benefit to consumers is that we are able to see things the naked eye cannot, which eliminates the old methods of finding these types of leaks – such as cutting holes in walls, ceilings, and through floors.  This of course, saves the home owner remodeling expenses.” says Will Knell, Director of Operations. “In the past, these hidden leaks often went undetected until they were very obvious, and therefore made repairs more costly”

With the recent deluge of rain in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, water intrusion has certainly become more of a problem. With the use of the Thermography Infrared camera, American Leak Detection Specialists are able to uncover and see moisture levels that the human eye cannot, thus, enabling the ability to trace the origin of the leak. Often the water intrusion problem is not fully exposed until a heavy downpour, which masks the severity of the problem. Left undetected, water intrusion, opens the home to the risk of mold intrusion and also higher renovation or repair costs.

American Leak Detection offers a complete Thermography home diagnosis that includes:

o   Detect water leaks and their origin - walls, flooring, roof
o   Detect plumbing issues - blockages
o   Detect electrical “hot spots” which can cause potential fire hazards
o   Detect pest & rodent nests
o   Detect moisture that cannot be physically reached with moisture meters
o   Check energy efficiency - for heating & cooling loss through windows, walls and insulation

The diagnoses results are captured and the customer is provided with professional reports, providing tangible proof of the findings that can become important for repair verification and insurance purposes.
