Can thermal imaging see through walls?

No. Thermal cameras record surface temperature variation. They cannot see through solid materials, but they can reveal patterns that may indicate what is occurring behind a surface.

Can thermal imaging detect water leaks?

It can help identify thermal anomalies consistent with moisture presence and assist in narrowing areas for further investigation. It does not directly confirm the plumbing source without supporting evidence.

Does thermal imaging replace a standard building inspection?

No. It is a complementary diagnostic tool that adds further information beyond a standard visual inspection.

Is thermal imaging always conclusive?

Not always. Results depend on access, conditions, recent weather, building materials and whether the issue is active or thermally visible at the time of inspection.

Can underfloor heating be mapped with thermal imaging?

Yes. Where the system is operating and producing heat, thermal imaging can help map heating layout, identify cold zones and assess apparent system performance before grinding, drilling, levelling or renovation work.
