Water Leak & Moisture Detection in Valencia & Costa Blanca
Damp wall, mould or a suspected hidden leak? I use professional-grade thermal imaging and moisture measurement equipment to locate affected areas, trace abnormal moisture patterns and narrow down where the problem is coming from — before unnecessary opening or repairs.

Signs worth investigating
You do not need to know whether it is a leaking pipe, condensation or another moisture problem before contacting me. Finding that out is the point of the visit.
Damp wall or ceiling
Wet patches, discolouration, bubbling paint or plaster that keeps becoming damp.
Mould that keeps returning
Especially around windows, corners, cupboards or one specific part of a room.
Possible hidden water leak
Unexpected moisture, a moving water meter or water appearing with no obvious source.
Unusually high water bill
Your consumption has changed even though your normal water use has not.
Cold wall or condensation
Cold areas and thermal bridges can contribute to condensation and recurring mould.
Unusual hot spots
Unexpected heat around heating systems, sockets or other electrical components.
Find where the problem starts
The visible stain is not always where the water started. That is why I do not rely on visual guesswork alone. Using professional thermal imaging and moisture measurement equipment, I compare the wider pattern across walls, ceilings and floors before deciding where the problem is most likely coming from.
Thermal imaging
Temperature differences can reveal unusual patterns linked to moisture, cold spots, heating problems and overheating.
Moisture measurement
Measurements help confirm the affected area and show how the moisture pattern changes across the wall, ceiling or floor.
Technical diagnosis
I combine the measurements with practical checks to narrow down the likely cause and explain what should happen next.
More than just water leaks
The same diagnostic approach can help with several common problems around a home or rental property.
What you get
The goal is not simply to tell you that something is wet. You should finish the visit with a clearer picture of the problem.

Leak & moisture diagnostics where you need them
Scheduled diagnostic visits are available in Valencia, Calpe / Calp, Moraira, Jávea / Xàbia and Altea. If you have a damp wall, recurring mould, unexplained moisture or a suspected hidden water leak, send me the problem first and I can tell you whether thermal and moisture diagnostics are a sensible first step.
Diagnostic visit from €49
Up to 60 minutes for one specific problem or affected area. Send me a photo first and I can tell you whether this type of diagnostic is a sensible first step.
Leak & moisture diagnostics FAQ
Can you find a water leak without breaking the wall?
In many cases thermal imaging and moisture measurements can significantly narrow down the affected area and probable source before anything is opened. More complex leaks may require specialist testing.
Can a thermal camera see a leak through a wall?
Not literally. A thermal camera detects surface temperature differences. Moisture or leaking water can create temperature patterns that help identify the affected area.
Why is my wall damp if I cannot see a leak?
Possible causes include a hidden plumbing leak, condensation, water ingress or a thermal bridge. Comparing moisture and temperature patterns helps narrow down the likely cause.
Can you check mould around windows?
Yes. Cold surfaces, condensation, thermal bridging and moisture around the window area can be investigated using thermal imaging and moisture measurements.
Damp wall? Hidden leak? Mould that keeps coming back?
Do not start opening walls based on a guess. Send me one or two photos and tell me what you have noticed. I will tell you whether thermal and moisture diagnostics are a sensible next step.
