If you hear water dripping inside your walls, there are ways to verify a leak without opening up the wall. Certain tools can detect moisture and temperature changes to confirm if water is present. Here are some examples:

1. Moisture Meters: A moisture meter measures moisture levels within walls, floors, or other materials. There are two types:
   • Pin-type moisture meters insert small pins into the wall to measure moisture content directly.
   • Pinless moisture meters use electromagnetic sensors to detect moisture just below the surface without penetrating the wall, which is ideal for painted or finished walls.
2. Infrared (Thermal) Cameras: Infrared cameras detect temperature variations within the wall. When there's a leak, water cools the surrounding materials, and the camera picks up these cooler areas as distinct colors, often blue or purple. This method helps locate the leak's source without any wall damage.
3. Acoustic Leak Detectors: For sounds of dripping or running water, acoustic leak detectors can amplify faint sounds inside the wall to help pinpoint the exact location of the leak. Professionals often use these to locate hidden leaks accurately.
