I have used a thermal imaging camera a few times and only time it worked was it showed up a slightly diffent tem above a skirting board on a plaster board wall so we cut a hatch there and found the leak, it cant penetrate laminate and wooden floor and insulation, if you had say a concrete floor and only tinys batton before the floor was added it might work but it wont in your situation
Surely backside will have to go in at some point
Here's a brief video from the inspection camera.
The experts I spoke to didn't really mention the thermal imaging, only as one possible method of operation, they were mainly talking about draining the system and inserting a gas. Presumably the leak isn't in a wall or even near a wall because there's no signs of dampness anywhere...
Ahh right, with you.
Do you mean close the valves to isolate the downstairs heating pipes?
Do you mean from the bucket? It's hard to say in a measurement but around 30ml?
Would this work without being able to see under the floor? Presumably that's how I could get the UV dye in there?
Drain dye i have used is luminous green. Powder is red, changes when wet.
Yup, along with the brown stains around the speedfit fittings. Looks like multiple tiny leaks,
