One of my interior wall Is cracking and growing mould. I suspect the main pipe is leaking.
However, hard to diagnose without thermal imaging to see if really leak or from somewhere else.
Do any of you know where I can find a plumber that provide thermal camera imaging?
I tried Google don't have anyone. Please recommend.
Thanks

Buy own hand held imaging. Could be cheaper than calling a plumber

I could send you a contact, but you can't even tell your location wasting time to make a recommendation

Hi, where's your location? Can pm me or apps me on 0137739388, I have a thermal camera but from my experience, dont expect too much from it like what they show on tiktok, the most it will only identifiy if the area is wet, doesn't find the source of the problem

Don't expect miracles though. I have a moisture meter that can detect, but if the leak has been going on for a while, the whole wall could be damp. It won't be pin point accurate. And ditto the thermal.
You have to know what's behind the wall. Is it a bathroom with failed waterproofing? Concealed water pipes? Concealed air con drain pipe?, a leak from outside (yes that happens) that comes in.....
If your house has been renovated, maybe get the contractor and ask, or a new house, check with the developer for plans first to see what's running in the wall.
I'm assuming you are starting to get paint bubbling and flaking.
