Finding water damage can sometimes be challenging. Water often travels the path of least resistance, which means water coming in from a roof leak might enter your ceiling and travel to the lowest point often pooling or leaking down into a light fixture in the middle of the room.

Using an infrared camera to identify the source of the water damage can help SERVPRO of Farmington and Farmington Hills restore your home. Thermal imaging can detect damp spots on floors, ceilings, and walls. Using the Infrared camera has helped us determine hidden water damage in a ceiling. The rainbow-colored images can help our technicians spot moisture in the Our technicians use the IR camera to detect the moisture before physical damage or mold is evident. Using moisture meters along with the IR camera can confirm the presence of water.
