Abstract: Embodiments include a system and method for detecting and identifying wetness in a washroom or other facility using thermal sensing. A thermal sensor collects data on surface temperatures in an area such as a washroom. The data is analyzed to identify differences and/or deviations from baseline temperatures. Wetness can be identified based on the differences and/or deviations. The data can be further analyzed to identify the source and/or type of wetness. A cleaner or stakeholder can be contacted for cleaning and/or maintenance if wetness levels exceed a threshold level.
