Our Leak Detection Methods And Technologies

Our industry leading and state of the art leak detection technologies set us apart from our competition. Allowing us to minimise damage to your property.

Upon detecting a leak, our engineers will furnish you with an insurance-tailored photographic report identifying the root cause of the leak, as well as the extent of the damage to your property. A trace and access report is often required by insurance providers and this is a standard service provided to all of our customers.
Thermal Imaging Leak Detection Tool

Thermal Imaging

The most common, piece of leak detection equipment and provides a kind of ‘x-ray vision’, also classed as a thermography where the camera only picks up on heat as opposed to a picture.

It’s extremely useful for finding concealed heating or hot water pipes which are picked up on infrared radiation. Tracking the course of the pipes throughout the property, which gives us a better understanding when we find the leak.

Acoustic Leak Analysis Tool

Acoustic Detection

We use high resolution acoustic technology to pick up on sounds passing through them via a microphone. This sound is then aplified through a machine.

We can also use this equipment to measure the different types of noises to determine where the loudest noise was identified. This is helpful to minimise invasive investigations for repairs.

Tracer Gas Leak Method

Trace Gas Detection

We use a nitrogen / hydrogen gas mxiture for our tracer gas method. The mixture flows out through the damaged spot and moves up through the soil to the surface undetected.

This is where the term “tracer gas” comes from. It’s very popular with concrete floors, driveways and large fields. Providing both pressure tests and accurate location of pipework leaks.

Moisture Meter Leak Detection | Leak Detection 24/7

Moisture Meter

A great tool using readings via both radio frequency and drilling inspection probe holes. Several readings are usually requires to identify changes from dry to damp areas.

Readings can be obtained both on the surface and at depth. Once the areas are identified as a moisture map. A picture begins to build to help identify the possible cause of the leak.

Water Analysis Leak Detection | Leak Detection 24/7

Water Analysis

When dealing with water leaks involving saturation and damp ‘what’ the leak is can often be as important as ‘where’ the leak is coming from. So how do we detect these issues?

Water sample analysis can be utilised for tap, waste or rain and ground water. Where this is only presenting on the surface (efflorescence) this can be tested in the same way. With this tool we can differentiate whether its a mains water leak or ground water.

Bore Scope Leak Detection

Bore Scope

A small camera on a thin snake type of rod which is extremely flexible and able to fit down areas which are not easily accessible.

A small hole between 4 – 5mm is enough for the head to pass through, which can be made using a drill. This tool is commonly used to inspect under suspended floors and walls for any visible water damage or leaks. This is commonly used in flats to get behind built-in toilets, etc.

Dye Testing Leak Detection

Dye Testing

A dye is put down a basin, shower waste or toilet and left to appear visually. It’s commonly used for basement, communal leaks and flat to flat leaks.

This helps to localise a leak to a specific waste area or unit. Dye testing is also used on structural and swimming pool leak detection services to pinpiont  a defect in the structure. A great non-invasive leak detection method.
