Our Leak Detection Technology

Thermal Imaging

Our thermal imaging technology utilises specialised infrared cameras to detect temperature variations, revealing heat signatures that indicate where water is escaping from pipes or structures. This non-invasive method allows us to pinpoint leaks precisely without causing damage. It’s also highly effective for identifying roof leaks, even on sunny days, by scanning for areas where water has moved.

Acoustic Listening

Acoustic listening employs sensitive microphones to detect the sounds of water escaping from pipes. While traditional listening methods can be less accurate, our advanced acoustic devices enhance our ability to locate leaks accurately, allowing us to move to the next stage of detection with confidence.

Moisture Meter

After narrowing down the leak location using acoustic methods, we utilise a moisture meter to measure the moisture content in building materials like drywall or wood framing. This tool helps us confirm the presence of a leak without causing significant disruption, ensuring accurate detection and targeted repairs.

Tracer Gas

For particularly stubborn leaks, we use tracer gas detection. This method involves introducing a harmless gas into the water system, which then escapes through the leak and bubbles to the surface, making the leak easy to locate. This precise technique ensures we find the exact source of the leak with minimal disruption.

Endoscope

Our endoscope is a flexible camera that allows us to visually inspect hard-to-reach areas inside pipes or underground spaces. By adding a non-toxic tracer dye to the water supply, we can visually identify the leak’s source, facilitating accurate and efficient repairs.

Tracer Dye

To visually identify the source of a leak, we introduce a tracer dye into the water supply. This non-toxic dye colours the escaping water, making it easy to trace the leak’s exact location and path.

Salts Analysis Kit

Our salts analysis kit measures salt concentrations in water samples. By comparing salinity levels across different areas, we can identify discrepancies that indicate leaks in the water supply, allowing us to address the issue promptly.
