Experienced leak detection experts have the knowledge and experience needed to help detect a leak quickly and efficiently, using a high-tech kit to tackle even the most complex of leak detection problems.
We know how precious your home is, and how damaging a water leak can be. If left unchecked, water damage can wreak havoc with your property, causing mould and mildew to form and eventually damaging the air quality of your home, exacerbating respiratory problems and even causing structural problems and damage to your belongings if left for too long.
There are lots of different ways of locating a leak, and those with plenty of experience know where to look in order to speed along the process of finding a fix.
Understanding water leak detection systems
The equipment used to detect a leak varies from project to project, depending upon the scale of the problem and how long it takes to be detected by the team. There are a wide variety of different tools at our disposal, leaving water leaks with nowhere to hide! These include some incredibly impressive kits which leak detection specialists are knowledgeable in using efficiently.
Our high-tech equipment explained
Water analysis kits help us to detect where a leak is occurring – is it from a tap, the rain, or waste? Moisture meters provide advanced sonar technology which penetrates through walls without causing any damage, detecting leaks at source even when they exist deep within a structural wall.
Tracer gas can help us to find out more about leaking pipes; this safe-to-use gas is used in conjunction with special sensors to show whether it is escaping from pipes, indicating a leak, while acoustic leak detection software shows us more about the noises made by leaky pipes, even if these noises are imperceptible to the human ear.
In addition, endoscopes or bore scopes utilize miniature cameras which peek in side walls and cavities in search of leaks. They can also be extremely helpful in locating leaks with speed, which helps to cut down on costs.
There are many other tools at our disposal, and we are dedicated not only to ensuring we find your water leak quickly and efficiently but doing so with the minimum cost to the homeowner or renter.
