PlumbingDiagnostics & Troubleshooting4HighPlumber$ implied
A plumber cannot find an intermittent leak that only appears when a tenant takes a bath, and wants a non-destructive way to locate it without cutting drywall.
Infrared cameras require temperature differential and visible water; intermittent leaks behind walls are hard to detect with current tools. No practical non-destructive method exists for this scenario.
