Thermal Camera Imaging: Advanced Thermal Detection for Water Leaks, Electrical Faults & Fire Hazards
At Dowd’s Pipe and Cable Locating, I use thermal camera imaging to help property owners detect hidden risks before they turn into costly repairs. Whether it’s a water leak, electrical fault, or potential fire hazard, our cutting-edge FLIR thermal cameras give you a clear picture of what’s happening behind walls, ceilings, or under floors—without causing any damage.
Based in Wollongong, I proudly service the Illawarra, Southern Highlands and Sydney. If you need reliable thermal imaging services, call me today on 0434 635 134 for a free quote or to arrange an inspection.
How Our Thermal Camera Imaging Works
Thermal imaging uses infrared technology to detect heat differences on surfaces, allowing me to identify moisture, leaks, insulation issues, or overheating electrical components that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
I can scan areas such as:
- Ceilings and roof cavities
- Shower recesses and bathrooms
- Under carpets and floorboards
- Internal walls and hard-to-reach spaces
This non-invasive process helps detect issues early, saving you money on repairs and preventing property damage.
Our thermal camera imaging and moisture meter technology allow me to accurately locate water intrusion, mould growth, and dampness within your property. By visualising temperature variations, I can pinpoint problem areas behind walls, beneath tiles, or in concrete slabs—without tearing anything apart.
Detecting Water Damage, Intrusion & Mould
Typical signs we identify include:
- Damp or cold patches behind walls
- Leaks around showers and basements
- Water ingress causing paint blistering or stains
- Mould formation from long-term moisture exposure
After each inspection, I provide a detailed report with both thermal and digital photos, complete with recommendations for repairs or waterproofing improvements.
Our water damage detection services are ideal for:
- Strata property managers and owners
- Real estate professionals
- Insurance assessors and brokers
- Residential, commercial, and industrial clients
Fire Risk & Electrical Fault Detection
Our thermal imaging fire risk inspections are designed to help prevent electrical fires by identifying overheating connections, loose terminals, or faulty switchboards. I use high-resolution FLIR cameras to scan distribution boards, power panels, and industrial electrical equipment for potential hazards.
Many insurance companies now require thermal imaging reports for compliance and risk assessment. By detecting faults early, I can help you avoid equipment failure and even lower insurance premiums.
You’ll receive a comprehensive report with annotated thermal and digital images, highlighting any risk areas along with recommended corrective actions.
We perform thermal electrical inspections for:
- Strata and property management clients
- Real estate agencies
- Insurance companies & brokers
- Industrial facilities and commercial sites
