How We Detect Internal Leaks
Our engineers are skilled in a variety of high-precision, non-destructive leak detection techniques, including:
- Thermal imaging: Detects temperature changes from hot or cold water leaks
- Acoustic detection: Sensitive equipment listens for sound frequencies from leaking water
- Tracer gas testing: An inert gas mixture is introduced into the pipework and tracked by sensors
- Moisture mapping: Identifies hidden damp using specialist tools
- CCTV inspection: For internal drains or concealed pipework access
These methods are safe, accurate, and help us avoid unnecessary damage to your property.
