alt Hacker NewsHas anyone tried acoustic imaging for water leaks inside walls? I live in a multi-floor 1900s Victorian. A leak can affect several units, and tracing the source can mean opening walls or floors in multiple places, and coordinating access has been getting harder with less WFH.
Could one of these tools help map water pipe routes and trace a leak, or are they only going to be useful for air and gas leaks?
For a water leak a sound imaging device is not going to help you.
You should definitely try a thermal camera. Any moisture will create small temperature differences which are easily picked up by a thermal camera.
