Leak investigation

Document the evidence,
document it over time

The hard part of leak work is distinguishing possible sources from similar thermal patterns. Atlas turns thermal investigations into mapped, measured, shareable documentation that supports qualified assessment and confirmatory testing.

Capabilities

Investigation-grade documentation

For roofers, plumbers, restoration pros, and consultants who get called when water shows up.

Radiometric temperature analysis

Inspect per-pixel temperatures, adjust emissivity and reflected temperature, and place spot and area measurements that update live as you tune parameters and interpret capture conditions.

Annotation & markup

Drop pins with live temperature readouts, mark regions, add delta-T callouts, and attach field notes so every finding carries its evidence.

Georeferenced findings

Findings land on maps and an interactive 3D globe view, so repair crews know exactly where to go without re-flying the site.

Mobile field capture

The companion mobile app captures photos, notes, and flight details on site and syncs them straight into the right project.

Automatic photo organization

Uploads are sorted thermal vs optical, grouped by flight, and filed against the right project and building automatically — even full memory-card dumps.

Branded PDF reports

Generate client-ready reports with annotated imagery, findings tables, and severity grading — under your logo and brand, ready to send the same day.

Roof patterns: from stain to verification

A ceiling stain may be distant from an entry point. A thermal pass over the roof — drone or handheld — documents surface-temperature patterns, and Atlas maps inspector-marked areas with annotations and measurements to guide confirmatory investigation.

Hidden runs and radiant lines

Hot-water lines, hydronic loops, and radiant floor circuits can produce thermal paths. Atlas documents the run and any pattern changes for qualified review and confirmatory testing before invasive work, with before-and-after records available in the same project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of leak investigations can thermal imaging support?

Thermal imaging can support investigation of roof and envelope intrusion, hot-water and hydronic lines, radiant-floor circuits, and moisture migration where surface-temperature patterns warrant confirmatory testing.

Does Atlas replace plumbing leak-detection equipment?

No — acoustic and tracer-gas tools have their place. Atlas is the imaging, measurement, and documentation layer that records what you found and where, whatever combination of tools found it.

Can I document the repair verification too?

Yes — post-repair captures join the same project, giving the client a before-and-after record and giving you liability protection.
