Infrared Leak Detection?

Water leak. After a frozen pipe burst and was mended we still have a mystery leak that seems like it must be related but 3 plumbers so far can’t figure it out. Was hoping there was a way to discover leak before just punching holes in all the walls…

Has anyone used a plumber who specializes in infrared leak detection? Is it an accurate way of detecting a mysterious leak or a waste of money? Thanks!

they will basically tell you that you have heat loss at windows and junctures between an addition and the main building (what a surprise) If you are under radiated there is no quick fix

Are you looking for air infiltration or a water leak?
