Kitchen Makeover + DEMO DAY (Ep.1)
What happens here
With the drywall removed, carefully inspect the exposed wall cavity. Use a thermal imager (such as the FLIR ONE Pro shown in the video) to scan the concrete slab and wall studs. This helps to detect the presence and exact location of radiant heating lines (if present), plumbing pipes, and electrical conduits embedded within the concrete or hidden behind the studs. Mark these locations clearly to avoid accidental damage during subsequent cutting or renovation steps. Plan the new routes for plumbing lines, electrical wiring, and vent tubes, ensuring they can be discreetly channeled within the new island or wall structures, maintaining proper spacing and compliance with building codes.
Goal: Utilize a thermal imager to accurately locate and plan the relocation of existing plumbing pipes and electrical wiring within the wall cavity and concrete slab.
