Is a thermal scan enough on its own?

No. A thermal image is diagnostic evidence of a temperature anomaly — it does not, by itself, prove a concealed pipe is broken. We combine it with visual inspection, moisture readings or optical checks, and we label the cause Confirmed, Probable, Possible or Excluded.

Do I need thermal imaging for every job?

Not always. Straightforward, visible terrace cracks may not need it. It is most valuable when the source is hidden or a previous repair failed.

Thermal Imaging Inspection in Hyderabad

Infrared cameras detect temperature differences caused by trapped moisture — so we find the leak path even when there is no visible stain yet.

Problem & causes

The stain on the ceiling is rarely the start of the leak

Signs you have this problem

A leak that keeps returning after patch repairs
Damp smell with no obvious wet patch
You want to know the source before breaking tiles or plaster
Multiple possible leak sources (terrace, bathroom, pipe) in the same area

Common root causes

Water travelling along a slab before appearing far from the entry point
Hidden pipe leaks inside walls
Failed membranes under bathrooms or terraces
Guesswork repairs that treated the stain, not the path

How Gracia diagnoses

What we do differently

Infrared moisture mapping

We scan walls, ceilings and slabs to map cold spots caused by trapped water.

Paired with optical confirmation

Thermal narrows the area; optical tools confirm the exact path before any breaking.

Written inspection report

You get photos, findings and a recommended treatment — before you approve any work.

Treat only what is needed

Precise location means less demolition, faster jobs, and a fix that holds.

Our process

Symptom to warranty

Symptom

Bathroom leak, ceiling stain, wall damp or terrace seepage — what you see is the starting clue, not the diagnosis.

Inspection

On-site visual, thermal and optical checks. We do not quote a coating from a WhatsApp photo alone.

Evidence

Photos with marked points, thermal or moisture notes, and the limits of what the scan can prove.

Diagnosis

Cause labelled Confirmed, Probable, Possible or Excluded — then the minimum opening if we still need to verify.

Treatment

Quoted system, preparation, exclusions and testing. Work starts only after you approve the scope.

Warranty

The period on the quotation and certificate — not a generic banner number.

Real case

Terrace seepage in Kompally — PU membrane after thermal mapping

Problem. Top-floor bedroom ceiling stained after every monsoon. Previous contractor had coated the stain from below.

Inspection. Thermal scan of the terrace and the ceiling below, plus a walk of outlets and parapet joints.

Confirmed. Failed parapet joint and worn terrace screed. The ceiling stain was the exit, not the source.

Treatment. Joint detailing, PU elastomeric membrane on the walkable terrace, outlets cleared.

Testing. 24-hour pond test before handover.

Warranty. Quoted 7-year PU terrace system, subject to drainage remaining as left.

Testing / handover

The deliverable is the Leak Diagnostic Report, not a coating. Findings are labelled Confirmed, Probable, Possible or Excluded.

Warranty on this treatment

The warranty period and conditions on your quotation, completion record and certificate must match. If they differ, the quotation you signed is the source of truth.
