About Leak Detection
Leak detection is an important and skilled practice essential to homeowners, businesses, and industries.
Leak Detection identifies and locates leaks in plumbing, heating, and water supply pipes.
Left alone, these leaks can cause much disruption and even damage. Once they have been located, they are usually straightforward to locate and repair.
In Hockley, leaks requiring detection commonly occur in residential homes with ageing plumbing and central heating systems.
These leaks, often hidden within walls and under floors, are exacerbated by wear and tear, corrosion and pressure changes.
Underground pipe leaks are also frequent, caused by ground movement, root intrusion, or material degradation.
Fortunately, these issues are easy enough to solve with Leak Detection and its various techniques.
Visual Inspection
The most simple of these methods is Visual Inspection, where our professional plumbers survey your property.
They scrutinise walls, ceilings, and floors for signs of dampness, scan pipes for rust or corrosion, and look out t for the musty scent of hidden mould.
Visual inspection, though simple, is effective and is the first method deployed when looking for the source of a leak.
Some leaks, however, are more elusive, hidden deep and out of sight. In these cases, more involved Leak Detection methods are employed.
Pressure Testing
Pressure Testing. The system is filled with air or water, pressurised, and monitored.
A pressure drop is a telltale sign a leak is present. This technique is particularly useful in complex pipe networks to establish the whereabouts of a leak.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging utilises a special infrared camera, transforming invisible temperature variations into a visible spectrum of colours.
These thermal images reveal the location of hidden leaks, showing areas of dampness as patches of different colours.
Hot and cold spots (depending on the type of pipe) indicate water seepage.
This non-invasive, high-tech approach is a game-changer in locating leaks within walls or under floors without the disruption of lifting floorboards, breaking concrete or making holes in walls.
Leak Detection Machines
Leak Detection Machines employ acoustic technology. These machines listen for the whispers of escaping water, amplifying the faintest hiss or drip that human ears cannot detect.
With sensors and headphones, the Plumber precisely tracks the source of these sounds. This method can pinpoint the exact location of the smallest leaks, ideal in complex and noisy environments.
