Detecting a leak is not always just as simple as finding water on the floor and tracing it back to a pipe near your boiler. Often a pipe may be leaking deep within the fabric of your property, which requires more sophisticated detection methods. We're experts at this; here are some of the ways we do it!
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is a powerful technique employed by leak detectors which can measure thermal energy emitted from an object. These high-tech cameras can discover a leak as well as where it is originating from in the home. By finding minute changes in temperature, these cameras can find where any moisture or water is coming from.
Endoscope Cameras
If you have a water leak in a wall cavity, endoscopic cameras can be used to thoroughly search the areas. By drilling a very small hole, the precise location of a hidden leak can be discovered and then the ensuing work can be completed with as little disruption as possible.
Gas Tracing Probes
Gas tracing probes are another proven method of discovering a leak in your pipes. By pumping gas into the pipework in your home, the gas will then escape through wherever the leak is. This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint exactly where a leak is located anywhere in the home.
Acoustic Microphones
Finally, acoustic microphones are another highly sensitive device which can detect the noise of a leak. By replacing the water in the system with air, the noise can be amplified and detected even more easily.
