There is nothing more frustrating than having a water leak in your home. They are a hassle to repair and they can be difficult to find the source. Your plumbing system is quite elaborate and most of it is under the ground or in the walls. Additionally, these leaks can come from hairline cracks, which are difficult to see with the naked eye. Even if you’re sure that you have a leak in your home, its impossible to know where to stop the leak or the best way to repair it. 

This is something that our team at Specialist Leak Detection can help you with. We offer a first-class service for leak detection. A non-destructive solution to help find a leak quickly and affordably, allowing you to get on with the repair process as soon as possible. We are incredibly confident in our state-of-the-art equipment and all of the excellent skills and techniques that we use to help find and fix the damage promptly and efficiently. 

Outlining Some of the Methods we Use

  • Thermal Imaging

One of our leading pieces of leak detection equipment is the thermal imaging unit we use. This can provide us with a sort of x-ray vision that allows us to search for leaks even underground or in walls. It uses sensors to identify changes in temperature, which can be influenced by the presence of water. As a result, with the help of thermal imaging we can see where water is flowing and easily identify the location of any leaks.

  • Acoustic Detection

If our thermal imaging comes up with nothing, then instead we can use acoustic detection. Unlike thermal imaging, which uses sensors to create an image, our acoustic detection equipment uses sound to identify the location of water. Water running through a pipe sounds different to water running out of a pipe, and we can hear that using our acoustic detection system. This is one of the most accurate techniques, helping us to locate even the smallest of leaks.

  • Tracer Gas Detection

In a technique that is entirely left field and different to most other techniques that we use, tracer gas detection actually runs gas through your pipes. This gas is lighter than water and will escape through any cracks and leaks in the pipes. We then use our specialists detection device to identify where the gas is escaping from, accurately locating any and all leaks in your system. Don’t worry the gas is entirely safe, so there is no risk to your health or the health of those around you.
