The audio from our YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeJe4VZ3Lr8

why is my ceiling wet but the plumber could not find any leak above it? A wet ceiling with no visible leak above it usually means water has travelled along a joist, pipe, or membrane from a source several metres away before dripping through. ADI Leak Detection traces that hidden path using thermal imaging cameras and acoustic listening equipment to pinpoint where water is actually entering the structure. Plumbers work from what they can see; ADI's engineers locate what's concealed. Pressure testing isolates the affected pipework, and thermal imaging reveals temperature differences that show exactly where moisture has migrated inside the fabric of the property.
