Thermal Imaging Leak Detection in Smithers
Infrared cameras that see moisture through walls, floors and ceilings — for homes, businesses and stratas across Smithers.
Thermal Imaging Leak Detection in Smithers, British Columbia
Homeowners, strata councils and businesses across Smithers call on us for thermal imaging leak detection when a hidden leak threatens their property. As a division of Anyleak.ca, serving British Columbia since 1999, we bring 27+ years of leak-detection experience to every Smithers property — backed by advanced thermal, acoustic and tracer-gas equipment.
Smithers is part of Northern BC, an area of Bulkley Valley town beneath Hudson Bay Mountain. Smithers's cold winters and deep frost lines put real stress on buried pipes and fittings, so leaks here often start underground or at the foundation where freeze-thaw movement opens up joints. Thermal imaging (infrared thermography) detects the subtle temperature differences created when water evaporates or when warm and cold water lines run behind finished surfaces. It is one of the fastest, most non-destructive ways to map moisture across an entire wall, ceiling or floor and to narrow a search before any access is made.
Our technicians work throughout Smithers and its neighbourhoods — including Downtown, Hillcrest, Silver King — providing non-invasive thermal imaging that pinpoints the problem without unnecessary damage. Every visit ends with a clear, written report you can use for repairs, insurance or strata records.
Our Smithers thermal imaging process
- 1We survey suspect areas with a high-resolution infrared camera that reads surface temperature.
- 2Evaporative cooling and pipe temperature show up as distinct thermal patterns.
- 3We cross-check anomalies with a moisture meter to confirm the readings are water, not shadow or insulation gaps.
- 4Findings are captured as paired infrared and visible-light photos for your report.

Thermal Imaging in Smithers — FAQs
Does thermal imaging see through walls?
Not literally — it reads the surface temperature of the wall. Where moisture or a temperature-different pipe sits behind the surface, it changes that surface temperature in a pattern we can interpret.
Is thermal imaging enough on its own?
It is excellent for mapping and narrowing the area, but we always confirm with a moisture meter and a second method so you are not opening a wall on a false reading.
Do you provide thermal imaging throughout Smithers?
Yes. We serve all of Smithers and the surrounding Northern BC, including Downtown, Hillcrest, Silver King and nearby communities. Call 604-239-9934 to arrange a visit.
