With years of experience and a team of qualified specialists, we are a leading provider of water leak detection solutions across residential, commercial and municipal properties. We utilise a comprehensive range of cutting-edge detection methods to accurately locate hidden leaks in pressurised water systems. Our services are ideal for diagnosing leaks in underground water mains, underfloor heating systems, cold and hot feed plumbing, and central heating circuits. Our leak detection services are fast, effective and minimally disruptive.
This method involves introducing a hydrogen/nitrogen gas mixture into the water system. The gas escapes through the smallest leaks, and we detect its presence using a specialised probe. It’s perfect for internal leak detection and is safe for potable water systems.
We use pressure testing to confirm whether a leak exists by measuring pressure drops in isolated sections of the system. It is a crucial first step in leak detection investigations, particularly useful for commissioning new pipework and validating repair success.
Step testing allows us to isolate specific zones of a water distribution network. By monitoring flow and pressure changes in each section, we can narrow down the search area to locate hidden underground leaks with precision.
We use sensitive ground microphones and listening equipment to detect the sound of water escaping under pressure. Our acoustic tools can detect leaks in both metal and plastic pipes, even beneath concrete or asphalt surfaces.
Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature changes caused by leaking water. This non-invasive technology is particularly useful for locating leaks in central heating systems, hot water lines, and underfloor heating networks.
Service CAM is a 14mm diameter camera on the end of 50m of 6mm diameter rigid fibreglass rod. The CCTV head has an in-built FAST Pipe Mic that allows the system to not only see inside the pipe, but to locate leaks as well. The Service CAM has been designed for end-on insertion in service pipes from 25mm in diameter, insertion vertically through a standpipe from an Elster (hockey stick type) meter box, and vertically into small diameter mains from a saddle fitting or through bore hydrant.
Using a sonde or tracer wire, we trace the exact path of pipes and locate buried infrastructure. This ensures that our engineers can detect leaks and access pipework accurately, especially when plans or maps are not available.
