The Non-Destructive Solution to Mystery Leaks

Helping Solve Michigan Mystery Leaks Sense 2007

Infrared Thermographic Inspections are a powerful and noninvasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the conditions of residential and commercial buildings. We can quickly identify problem areas that can not be seen by the naked eye. We eliminate older, more costly inspection techniques that require lots of labor and destructive probing. Infrared Inspections can provide immediate documentation of damp or wet areas due to water intrusion from leaking plumbing, windows, roofs, walls, and basements.

Our technicians are certified thermographers with years of experience in the leak detection field. Finding the source of the leak is all we do, so you can be sure that we are an unbiased, third party company that you can trust!

    Have a leak in your radiant heat lines? How about a heated driveway that isn’t melting the winter snow? Our Infrared Technology allows us to see what the naked eye can’t!

  • Interior Plumbing Leaks

    There are a lot of facets to your indoor plumbing, and that can make tracking down a leak difficult. Our tools and expertise can narrow down if the leak is the supply to your toilet, or that pesky kitchen drain (or one of the many areas in-between).

    Flat Roof Scans

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Cost will vary depending on type of leak, type of building, and job location. We will need a detailed explanation of your issue for us to accurately give you a service price; this can be done via phone (800-310-2567) or email (info@theleakfinders.com).

Will I receive a report?

Detailed infrared/digital picture reports are sent out via email and USPS, 3-5 business days after your appointment. These easy to read reports point out where your leak is originating, making it a straightforward answer for you or your contractor to correct the issue.

What areas do you service?

We are located in Shelby Township, Michigan. We service the tri-county area, but being such a unique business means that we do travel further. Any area outside of our immediate service area is subject to a mileage charge.

Do I need to be there for the inspection?

Yes. We are usually onsite for 1-3 hours for most infrared inspections. We will need a homeowner/tenant and access to the interior of home/building for the entire time technicians are onsite.

What Our Clients Say

  • "I had a mysterious leak in my great room ceiling for over 8 years. Roofer came out and caulked. Fixed for a few years then it started happening again. Was told I needed a new roof over great room. Before I agreed, I wanted to make sure roof was the problem since it is about 17 years old. Advanced Infrared came out and determined it was a window that had weep holes covered by trim not the roof. Windows have 35 year warranty on installation so hopefully my issue will be covered. Thank you Laurie and Jade for your detective services. Very happy customer!"

    -Kathy, NearbyNow Review

  • "Verified an outstanding leak on a 5000 sq ft building for me. Fast, Professional, and found the problem area without spending a fortune. A leak we thought was the roof turned out to be a window issue. All the roofing companies wanted to do was put a new roof on. But I found another contractor who hired these guys (actually a female team came out - AMAZING) to look over our trouble spots. We would have spent over $50,000 on the roof! In the end we flashed the window for about $3k and NO MORE ISSUES. Highly recommend!"

  • "Very Helpful We had a leak in our master bedroom. We’d had a plumber, a floor guy, a window person and several handymen our. No one could find where the water was coming from. Turns out, our window was leaking."

    -Merideth, NearbyNow Review

  • “Very professional, friendly, and informative. They saved us THOUSANDS that we thought we would have to spend. Well worth the price, honestly.”

    -Jan, NearbyNow Review

  • "I do a lot of work with contractors and have pretty much given up on finding good ones. When you have an experience like I did with Advanced Infrared it gives you hope again. The experts that came out to help me knew their stuff. They methodically went through my building checking everything to find my water leak. I had a unique situation with a tenant who has way too much stuff in their place, making it extra difficult to scan for leaks, but advanced infra red made accomodations to work around it. Overall Excellent Experience highly recommend using these Guys"

    -Rob, NearbyNow Review

  • "We've been dealing with mold in our house and have spent the past year attempting to find the source of the water causing the issues. After having several contractors inspect the house and either leave us with no answers or pointing us in the wrong direction, I was finally referred to this amazing company. They came out quickly and spent a lot of time finding the sources of our problems and explaining everything. I am certain we wouldn't have found out about these leaks without them. Highly recommend!"

    -Dana, Google Review

  • "After dealing with water in my basement for 9 months and calling all of the people in the paper and the big guys in this field with no concrete answers, just bandaids to the problem, that cost thousands of dollars, I was lucky enough to be put in touch with this company. They came into my home and found my issue and they called A wonderful plumber that fixes these issues, the plumber was out to my house within a half an hour and they (Advanced Infrared) stayed and work along side the plumber. The best lead I’ve ever had in my life!"

    -Pamela, Google Review

  • "We had leaks in three areas. Two on the 1st floor and another on the 2nd floor. The technicians were very skilled and took the time needed to assess where the water sources were. It was difficult, however they had the tenacity to discover where the issues were. The technicians were very personable and explained what they were doing as appropriate. Definitely recommend!"

    -Linda, NearbyNow Review

  • "Highly Recommend. Very professional and thorough. Found a leak hiding for years. Excellent to work with and fair pricing. 5 Stars."

    -Daniel, NearbyNow Review

  • “The best company! I called Advanced Infrared because I had concerns and issues with my new windows. Let me tell you, it was the best company to call and work with. I was so impressed with how friendly and understanding Lori was listening to my concerns. They arrived on time and immediately went to work. Lori and Jade are amazing at the work they did. Their concern was beyond the windows. They asked questions and looked all around the house for signs of moisture and leek. They did a great job taking the time to make extra sure there was no leaks anywhere. I would very highly recommend this company to all my friends and family members if they needed one. Thank you for your hard work Lori and Jade.”

  • "I’d been smelling a musty smell not long after having my roof replaced. Two employees came out and we were all convinced we would find a leaky roof but to our surprise, we did not. The ladies who came out were so thorough, they went through the entire house until we found the culprit, a leaky toilet. We had no idea it had been leaking under the floor and could have cost a lot of money in damage. Thank you so much!"
