Pipe Leak Detection
Tracing and plotting the position of pipes initially if possible gives a clearer and more precise leak detection rate. This leak finder induces an electrical signal onto the pipe produces a signal along its length, this can be accurately traced above ground giving away its position.
Acoustic Listening Detection
For underfloor leak detection in Wessex, this is a tried and tested leak detection method. This uses a high-tech microphone placed on the surface, by mapping several positions the acoustic control panel plots the noise rate and position.
Gas Tracer Detection
By accessing the pipe that leaks and pressurising with a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gases, our state of the art gas detection control panel measures leaking gas.
The tracer gas is a very light gas, which rises to the surface penetrating, concrete, screed, tarmac etc, where the gas can be detected. the gas is a safe inert gas
Pipe-Mic
By inserting a small tracing rod with microphone inside live pressurised plastic pipes we can accurately trace their position. This is very accurate means of leak detection in plastic water mains but it does have certain limitations.
Infrared Camera Water Leak Detection Service
Thermal imaging cameras can easily see the minutest changes in temperature, pipes in walls and floors can reveal themselves via this very accurate and clear imaging technology.
Not all pipes can be traced by inducing a signal. Plastic pipes cannot always be positioned above ground. Pipe tracing methods can be distorted by other near by signals. All forms of leak detection have their faults and limits.
FAQ’s
What Causes Leaks?
Regardless of the age of your home, leaks can occur for a variety of reasons. There are times when homeowners believe they are safe from water leaks just because they have a new home. It is because of this type of thinking that it is so dangerous and costly. It is generally a combination of conditions and factors that create water leaks.
Pipes leak most often when the temperature changes drastically. Temperature changes cause the water in pipes to expand and contract. A sudden rush of hot water through a pipe in the winter, when the pipes are very cold, can cause a crack. Pipes can also crack when they are frozen due to the pressure within them.
It is also possible for pipes to leak as they age. Corrosion and rust are common problems with pipes as they age. It wears away at the pipe, causing leaks to develop. Your pipes should be checked out by a plumber if you notice any signs of corrosion.
What Are The Main Signs Of A Water Leak?
Sadly unless you are qualified in detecting water leaks, you can never be sure if you have one. However there are some tell tale signs that could indicate the need for a water leak specialist to confirm:
- Surface pooling of water
- Soil that is moist or unusually coloured
- Spots of dampness on the walls and floors
- Concrete or foundation cracks or potholes
- You smell bad odours in your house, especially around the drains
- Continuously running toilets or dripping sinks
- An abrupt drop in the volume or pressure of water
- An unexpected increase in water bills
- Even after all appliances and plumbing fixtures have been turned off, the water meter continues to run.
What Do I Do If I Have A Water Leak?
The most important thing to do if you think you may have a leak is to get a water leak finder to perform a water leak inspection. You don’t want to ignore it as this may lead to further problems such as damage to the property (such as structure safety or if it’s near electrics) or even damage to your health through mould.
