Thermal Imaging for Plumbing

thermal imaging plumbing


Thermal imaging is a great tool that is commonly used in the plumbing and sewer industry. It is used to detect plumbing related issues such as a broken or burst pipe. Most homeowners realize that a majority of the plumbing inside of a home is hidden. Whether it is behind a wall or under a floor, these pipes go unnoticed until there is an actual problem.

 With our thermal imaging camera, we make it possible to determine the precise location of any plumbing issues that are hidden within your walls or floors. Our experts will run hot water through your pipes. The heat from the water will radiate and expose the plumbing issue as a thermal image. Our thermal imaging camera can detect a large number of hidden issues in a non-destructive manner. Most of these issues can be very costly and possibly dangerous if they go undetected or are not dealt with immediately.

Detecting Plumbing Leaks and Blockages

 Plumbing leaks are a very serious issue as they can cause a significant amount of water damage and cause your water bill to go sky high. This sort of destruction is not always easy to find. The licensed plumbers at the Suburban Plumbing Experts often find that there is no external evidence that a leak is progressing. Our thermal imaging camera eliminates the need for cutting out a hold in your wall or floor just to gain access to where a leaky pipe may or may not be. This goes the same for pipe blockage. One big indicator that you have a clogged or blocked pipe is reduced water flow from your fixtures or appliances.

 If you suspect a plumbing problem behind your wall or underneath your flooring, do not hesitate to pick up the phone and call the professionals at the Suburban Plumbing Experts. Our thermal imaging camera offers innovative technology that can get to the bottom of your plumbing issue in a non-destructive manner.
