Homeowner needs to diagnose a suspected water leak in a hard-to-access ceiling above a shower, but cannot easily confirm if it's a leak or get to it without destructive drywall removal.
Existing solutions require either destructive drywall removal or difficult attic access; there's no non-destructive diagnostic tool or service that identifies the leak location precisely without tearing into the ceiling.
Workarounds Described
- inspects water damage marks visually above shower
- looks in attic through HVAC tubes and insulation to try to find leak source
- considers tearing drywall from bottom to inspect
Implied Software Gaps
- Non-destructive leak detection app using sound and thermal imaging
- Guided diagnostic tool to pinpoint leak location without entering attic or cutting drywall
