What is thermal radiant-loop mapping?
Hydronic radiant-floor heating circulates warm water through tubing buried in the slab. Thermal imaging makes those loops visible on the floor surface, so a cold spot — where flow has stopped or a leak has formed — appears clearly, guiding precise diagnosis without lifting the floor.
How it works
- 1We run the heating system to warm the loops.
- 2Infrared imaging reveals each loop as a warm line on the floor.
- 3Cold breaks indicate blockages or leaks.
- 4We mark the fault for confirmation with pressure and tracer-gas testing.
Advantages
Visualises buried heating loops
Pinpoints cold-spot faults
Avoids opening the whole floor
Pairs with pressure and tracer-gas confirmation
Where we use it
Radiant Loop Mapping — FAQs
Can you see my in-floor heating pipes?
Yes — once the system is running, the warm loops show clearly on infrared, and any cold break stands out.
Is this enough to find the leak?
It localises the fault; we confirm the exact breach with a pressure test and tracer gas before any concrete is opened.
