Methods we use to detect water leaks

Tracer gas testing equipment used to locate water loss

Tracer Gas Detection

Using tracer gas, we inject a safe, non-toxic gas into your supply lines. The gas escapes through any leaks, allowing us to pinpoint the source with a specialized detection device.

Acoustic listening device used to pinpoint water loss in areas

Acoustic Leak Detection

Our advanced acoustic equipment picks up the distinct sounds of water escaping from pressurized pipes. By distinguishing these sounds from normal pipe activity, we can accurately locate the leak.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging technology helps us detect hot water leaks by capturing heat signatures from pipes. This method is also effective for identifying moisture hidden in walls, floors, or ceilings.

Moisture Meter

When other methods aren’t enough, moisture meters help us trace leaks by measuring dampness in specific areas. They are especially useful for detecting waterproofing failures on balconies or soffits.
