Water Leak Detection - Alpine Building Inspection Denver, Colorado

Infrared inspection is a valuable technique for finding water leaks in buildings. Whether it involves siding, roofing, windows, or plumbing, we are experienced in mapping and tracking down hard to find water leaks. Below are photos of some common types of leaks that we routinely diagnose with infrared. When you have a water leak or flooded basement, you want to know where it came from and what caused it. We can usually discover and trace the source of leakage without the disruption and expense of randomly removing drywall looking for the cause. We are experienced in tracing and documenting the extent of water intrusion so that disassembly and repair can be quickly focused on the source of the problem.

We work with building owners, insurance and restoration companies to discover the source and extent of damage in all types of water leak situations. It is important to immediately start drying a water damage incident in order to prevent mold growth; however, it is also important to call us soon after the occurrence. Infrared is only effective in finding moisture while the affected area is wet. We need to perform water leak inspections within a couple of days of the incident before drying starts to erase the evidence that we are looking for. Call us to find out how we can help with your particular situation.
