💧 Endoscopic Camera
We use endoscopic cameras, also known as borescopes, to detect leaks in ceiling cavities, wall cavities, and pipe boxing. This advanced tool gives us a visual inside hidden areas without cutting large openings.
We can pinpoint leaks precisely, eliminating unnecessary property damage and keeping disruption to an absolute minimum.
💧 Moisture Meter
While obvious signs of damp—like peeling paint or warped surfaces—can appear, damp is often hidden. We use moisture meters as part of our leak detection process to map unseen moisture within walls, ceilings and floors.
By comparing damp and dry areas, we create a moisture map that helps us identify the likely source of a leak, giving us a clear, accurate picture without unnecessary guesswork.
💧 Thermal Imaging
We use thermal imaging when we need to detect temperature differences in walls, ceilings, or floors that might indicate hidden water leaks. By capturing heat patterns, thermal imaging helps us spot areas where water is cooling or heating surfaces differently.
This method allows us to track moisture pathways and pinpoint leaks without needing to open up structures, and it’s especially effective in identifying hidden leaks early.
💧 Hydrogen-Nitrogen Tracer Gas
We inject a safe hydrogen-nitrogen mix into your pipework to trace escaping gas and identify the precise leak point.
The use of tracer gas is an ingenious, yet deceptively simple approach to finding a water leak in your home. In simple terms, we’ll replace the water in your pipework with a safe gas and use a sensitive above-ground detector to find anywhere that it escapes.
The pressurised gas is harmless and travels effortlessly through common building materials making it the perfect way to discover the source of your leak.
💧 Acoustic Ground Microphones
We listen for escaping water beneath the surface to identify the leak’s exact position. We utilise sound waves to identify and locate leaks in your water pipes.
This method often employs listening devices and amplifiers to detect the noise produced by water escaping the pipe and making contact with the surrounding materials. Both passive and active acoustic sensors can be used for this purpose.
