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
