Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Gas Services Ltd. We provide Leak Detection services in Braintree.
Why Leak Detection Matters
Leaks can cause significant damage to your property if left undetected. Water damage can affect walls, floors, ceilings, and your home’s foundation.
The longer a leak goes unnoticed, the more costly the repairs will be. Additionally, leaking water can increase bills and cause mould growth, impacting your health.
Early detection allows you to address the leak before it escalates, saving damage, time, money and hassle.
Our Leak Detection Process
We use advanced tools to pinpoint leaks accurately and efficiently. Our Plumbers & Heating Engineers are trained in various methods, including thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, and pressure testing. We can detect leaks hidden behind walls, ceilings, under floors, or underground using multiple tools and methods.
These non-invasive techniques ensure minimal disruption to your property, meaning we can quickly identify the source of the leak without unnecessary damage.
We begin with an inspection to assess the property and determine the most effective way to detect leaks. We find all leaks using cutting-edge tools and provide a clear, actionable solution.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is non-invasive and effectively detects leaks. This technique uses infrared cameras to identify temperature differences in your property.
When a leak occurs, the water escaping from pipes can create subtle temperature changes in surrounding materials. Using thermal imaging cameras, our team can quickly spot these anomalies, even in areas that are difficult to access.
Thermal imaging is a highly efficient way to locate hidden leaks, whether behind walls, under floors, or in ceilings.
Acoustic Sensors
Acoustic sensors are another advanced tool used for leak detection. These devices listen to the sounds of water moving through pipes and identify the specific frequencies associated with leaks.
By attaching the sensor to the pipework, we can pinpoint the exact location of the leak by listening to the sound of water escaping.
Acoustic sensors are particularly effective for finding small hidden leaks that are not immediately visible. Acoustic sensors help us detect leaks in hard-to-reach areas, ensuring an accurate diagnosis.
Pressure Testing
We can determine if there’s a pressure drop by isolating certain sections of your pipes and applying pressure. We know there’s a leak if the pressure drops in any section.
Pressure testing is ideal for detecting leaks in inaccessible pipes, such as those buried underground or hidden within walls. It’s a reliable method that indicates whether a leak is present.
Common Signs You Have a Leak
- Damp or Wet Patches: Discoloured, soft, or waterlogged areas on walls, ceilings, or floors.
- Unusually High Water Bills: A sudden increase in water usage, even without changing habits.
- Low Water Pressure: Reduced water pressure in taps or showers.
- Sounds of Running Water: Hearing water running when no taps or appliances are used
- Mould or Mildew Growth: Damp areas with mould or mildew development
