WATER LEAK DETECTION
There are many signs for you to consider if there is a water leak within your property. If your water bill is excruciatingly high there is a chance it is not just additional water usage. Leaks can occur from worn seals, heavy water force through older or weaker pipe systems, corrosion or a simple crack in the taps, faucets or physical pipes. These leaks will then allow water to pass through usage and even when your'e not using.
Once on site, our experts will locate the water leak with acoustic detection, thermal imaging, moisture metres, pressure testing and finally tracer gas techniques. Acoustic detection works with listening equipment that isolates surrounding noise to pinpoint the exact location of a leak, wether that be underground, within walls, ceiling or appliance based. Thermal imaging is where our team use infrared cameras that display temperature differences that have been revealed by hidden moisture patterns. On the topic of moisture, our meters provide precise readings of dampness, leading to precise locations. This tool is also time effective, meaning that our team will only proceed with digging or wall opening once they are positive about the precise location of the leak. The pressure testing is a secure method of isolating sections of the plumbing system to recognise where the system has lost pressure. Now, tracer gas testing is a safe mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen that is then pumped into a system that will then electronically with a sniffer probe, this will detect the leak.
