Infrared Leak Detection in Bloomfield Hills

Non-Invasive Hidden Leak Scanning for Oakland County Homes

When water stains appear on a ceiling or your utility bill climbs without explanation, the source is rarely obvious. American Leak Detection uses an infrared scanning camera to locate hidden leaks without cutting into walls, floors, or ceilings. Our Leak Detection Without Destruction™ approach means we identify the problem accurately before anyone picks up a tool.

We serve Bloomfield Hills and the surrounding Oakland County area. Before any appointment is confirmed, our Know Before You Go commitment puts transparent pricing in front of you so there are no surprises when the technician arrives.

Ready to stop guessing and find the source? Call us at (866) 701-5306 or request an appointment online to schedule your infrared leak detection in Bloomfield Hills.

What Sets American Leak Detection Apart

The American Leak Detection network was founded in 1974, and that 50-plus years of proprietary technique development shapes how every technician on our team is trained. We’re the original Leak Detection Specialists™, and our methods are built in-house, not borrowed from general contractors or standard plumbing practice.

We’re also pre-approved with top insurers, which can support a faster, smoother claims process for Bloomfield Hills homeowners filing water damage claims. Service calls follow the same standard: technicians arrive on time, complete the inspection within the agreed time frame, and leave the property clean.

Four Things an Infrared Scanning Camera Can Find

Thermal imaging works by reading temperature differences invisible to the naked eye. Wet materials, heat-compromised areas, and insulation failures all register distinctly on the camera image, letting our technicians identify problems without a single exploratory cut. A single inspection can reveal:

  • Water leaks and the damage they’ve caused
  • Energy leaks that drive up heating and cooling costs across larger properties
  • Electrical “hot spots” that could be fire hazards
  • Pests that have built nests in your home

For Bloomfield Hills homeowners managing larger properties, the energy leak and electrical findings add value beyond moisture detection alone.

How an Infrared Leak Detection Inspection Works

Once your appointment is confirmed, our technician arrives and scans walls, floors, and ceilings with the infrared scanning camera. No demolition takes place at any point during detection. Most inspections are completed in a single visit.

At the end of the inspection, you receive a clear report covering what was found and the recommended next steps. You know what the problem is and where it is before any repair work begins, which helps keep the scope and cost of that repair accurate.

Why Bloomfield Hills Properties Benefit from Infrared Detection

Southeast Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles put real stress on pipes each winter and early spring. Leaks can develop beneath floors, behind walls, and in basements before any visible symptom appears. In Bloomfield Hills, where homes tend to be larger and original finishes are often worth preserving, an undetected leak can carry higher remediation costs than it would in more modest construction.

Older homes and properties with complex construction are particularly well-suited to non-invasive methods. Infrared scanning can identify the source without disturbing original materials, so the detection process doesn’t create its own repair bill. American Leak Detection serves Bloomfield Hills and neighboring Oakland County communities with the same approach on every call.

    "They came in, investigated with smoke, and fixed the problem. For the first time in two months, my house doesn't smell like a restaurant toilet."
    “I had an awful rotten egg smell as soon as I bought our house. After calling two plumbers (who charged me a fee to tell me nothing was wrong), the Gas Company (no gas leak), and the Public Works Department, I finally called American Leak Detection. They came in, investigated with smoke, and fixed the problem. For the first time in two months, my house doesn't smell like a restaurant toilet. Highly recommend them!”
    - Sandi T.
    "I can't say enough good things about their service!"
    “I can't say enough good things about their service! We had a slab leak that flooded the master bedroom and they came as quickly as they could and then rearranged their work schedule so the repair could be made and we could once again have water turned on. The workmen were professional and efficient. I hope I never have to use that kind of service again but if so, they are he best.”
    - Carolyn R.
    "After 30 years in this house, we have had many service people come to do work. No one has ever delivered better than Daniel."
    “Tree roots had cracked my filter pipes and I was losing water badly. I was referred to American Leak Detection and set up an appointment. Daniel came out and did his best to diagnose the problem. He got very strange results and it was hard to determine the exact pipe(s) that were cracked but since I'd had a similar repair done 6 years ago and we could see evidence of the tree root damage from above, I felt confident we knew were the issue was and I contracted for the work. I was pleasantly surprised to see Daniel return to perform the work. I arranged to be home that day so I could see what he found. I supposed I hovered, taking pictures of the process, asking questions as he went along. He never got annoyed and answered every question with a smile. I don't think i ever saw anyone work harder. It was obvious from that start he had a lot of experience and knew what he was doing. Digging out the area had to be done mostly by hand which he did efficiently without complaints. He found multiple pipes cracked which explained the odd results during diagnosis. The job took longer than expected because it was difficult work and he ran out of daylight but on the job until he it wasn't possible anymore that day. Even though he was fully booked for the following day, his company rearranged his schedule so he could return the following afternoon. I returned home early from work and was able to see him complete the job. He even patched the deck with new concrete like an artisan, taking every care to make it as smooth and neat as possible. After 30 years in this house, we have had many service people come to do work. No one has ever delivered better than Daniel. He was competent, diligent, and pleasant. The cost wasn't cheap but it was fair. I don't mind at all paying for quality service.”
