How to Locate a Ceiling Leak

Water leaks can manifest themselves in a variety of ways. Whether they originate from beneath a slab or from above the ceiling, all leaks require your immediate attention. They can lead to a variety of issues, ranging from humidity problems to severe water damage if left undetected.

One of the most common leaks found is a leaky ceiling. Like other types of leaks, ceiling leaks progress gradually, seeping into and saturating your drywall ceiling long before going noticed.
​
Ceiling leaks, just like slab leak detection Carlsbad, often require a plumbing expert’s assessment. Most typically, ceiling leaks will go undetected until you see the wet spots themselves, after the moisture has already soaked through to the bottom surface of the ceiling. Advanced tools are required to assess the scope of a leak and, most crucially, its origin point.

To make matters worse, the origin point of the actual leak can be very unclear. Sometimes water from a slow overhead pinhole leak will travel quite some distance before becoming noticeable. Visible moisture could be feet away from its origin, or even in another room or another floor!
​
Professional detection is key. Although moisture may show at the seams or nail holes, it often does not soak all the way through for the naked eye to see. This is especially true with the presence of enamel paint, which further prevents moisture from appearing.

At Leak Star, we use an infrared camera to see the variance in temperature and the amount of moisture that has collected. The infrared camera will show where the greatest amount of moisture is collecting.
