Water Stains Above the Windows: Where Do You Cut? Scan First

Quality 1st Restoration uses thermal imaging to find water damage in Las Vegas ceilings.

The front room of this Lakes home had water stains on the ceiling right above the windows. Before opening anything, the technician scanned the ceiling with a thermal imaging moisture meter.

Wet drywall reads cooler on a thermal camera because the water in it is evaporating. That shows the crew where to open the ceiling and where to leave it alone. Every cool spot still gets confirmed with a moisture meter, because a thermal image alone doesn't prove something is wet.

Video transcript

Stains, right above the windows. So where do we cut?

We don't guess. We scan it first.

A thermal camera shows wet drywall as cooler spots, because the water in it is evaporating.

That tells the crew where to open, and where not to.

And look at that. Stained wood, the whole way across.

Now the air movers and a dehumidifier can dry the framing out.

Scan first. Then cut.

The footage is from a real Quality 1st job. The voiceover is narrated.
