Water Damage Ceiling Repair Ajax LLC uses thermal imaging and moisture meters to detect hidden ceiling leaks throughout Ajax. Undetected ceiling leaks cause $5,000 to $15,000 CAD in cumulative damage within 6 months.
What Problems Does Ceiling Leak Detection Identify?
5 hidden ceiling problems account for 80% of long-term water damage in Ajax homes.
- Slow pipe leaks above drywall: Pinhole leaks losing 1 to 5 litres per day go unnoticed for months
- Roof membrane failure: Ice dam damage and missing shingles allow rainwater infiltration into attic cavities
- Condensation buildup: Poor attic ventilation creates moisture accumulation on ceiling joists and insulation
- HVAC condensate pan overflow: AC drip trays above ceilings leak when drain lines clog
- Upstairs plumbing seepage: Wax ring failures and supply line drips migrate through floor assemblies

Is Thermal Imaging Necessary for Ceiling Leak Detection?
Yes. Thermal imaging detects moisture 3 to 5 times faster than visual inspection alone. A FLIR thermal camera identifies temperature differentials of 0.05 degrees Celsius between wet and dry ceiling areas.
Visual signs like stains and peeling paint appear only after 2 to 6 weeks of active leaking. By that point, mould growth and structural weakening have already started. Water Damage Ceiling Repair Ajax LLC uses infrared scanning on every Ajax assessment to catch leaks before visible damage occurs.
