Methods that we use to detect a leak

Tracer Gas

Tracer gas gets inserted into supply lines and will escape through any outlet on a pipe. We can then use a sniffing device to detect where the gas is coming from.

Acoustic

An electronic listening device is used to detect leaks by characterizing and differentiating leak sounds from normal pressurized pipes.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is used to take images of hot water pipes that are leaking as well as detecting moisture in walls, floors and ceilings.

Moisture Meter

Moisture meters play an important part if a leak cannot be traced. Ideal to determine any waterproofing failures on balconies and soffits.

“At Core Leak Detection, we believe that our clients should get their money’s worth. That is why we will always confirm a leak using at least two of our methods, unlike many leak detection companies that only use a single method. This is simply one of our ways of ensuring that you always receive the best service and great results.”
