Leak Detection
20 years ago, if there was a leak inside your home it would have been hard to find and could result in quite a lot of damage to the property to find the leak.
But now this is a thing of the past there are several different ways leaks can be detected, they are:
Thermal Imaging
- Uses heat-seeking technology to convert temperature changes into images
- Can detect water leaks behind walls, floors, and ceilings
- Can also show moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and wood decay

Acoustic leak detection
- Uses microphones and ground probes to listen for the sound of water escaping from pipes
- Can detect hidden leaks, even through walls and floors
Gas leak detectors
- Can locate and measure the rate of gas leaks
- Can be used to ensure workplace safety and compliance

Other types of leak detection include:
- Tracer gas: Used for systems with low leak rates
- Pressure decay test: Uses a compact leak tester placed near fixtures being tested
- Moisture meters: Use sensors to detect changes in moisture levels
- Ultrasonic leak detection: Can detect leaks of compressed air, gases, or vacuum
