This is when you require the expertise of a leak detection company who can find your hidden leak using non-destructive techniques that won’t cause further damage. With Leak Tracers Direct you will be connected to specialist engineers who use only the latest technology, including thermal imaging cameras, endoscope cameras, pressurised gas tracing, listening sticks, and acoustic microphones, and are able to locate water leaks no matter how difficult they are to find. If your leak is found to be under your floor or behind your walls and if the only way to access the leak is by damaging your property, then the engineer will be able to use sophisticated technology to ensure that the intrusive access damage is minimised. This is because the leak detection specialist will have the combination of technology and expertise to know precisely where to lift your floor to expose the leak. After the leak detection survey you will be provided with a detailed report which will include photographic evidence and a detailed description of the cause of your water damage so you can use this for validating your onward insurance claim. Insurers will only accept a claim once the cause of the water damage is identified as a valid insured peril. CALL 24/7 0203 011 0902 WATER LEAK DETECTION TECHNOLOGY 1. GAS TRACE LEAK TRACING A colourless, odourless gas is introduced into pipework where the leak is suspected after the pipes have been drained down. The gas which will be under pressure will escape at the point of the leak and rise up through any floor finishes such as wood, tiles or concrete and will be detected using sensitive probes and readers. 2. ACOUSTIC LEAK TRACING Sound testing microphones can be useful to pinpoint water leaks where the flow rate of the leak is significant and the leak can be heard. This is useful for cold feed pipes and incoming water mains which are under constant pressure 3. THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS Thermal imaging cameras will detect heat emission and will be able to show temperature differences below surfaces. This is useful to detect the route of pipe work where it is buried in a concrete floor and more importantly the spread of water where a leak is present. 4. ENDOSCOPE LEAK TRACING An endoscope is simply a very small camera at the end of a long extension lead with a display monitor used to observe leaks in confined hollow spaces such as pipe connections in ducts, service voids, underneath baths and shower trays and general pipe casings. 5. DYE TEST LEAK TRACING This is used as a last resort to pinpoint leak sources but as the test is destructive it is only used where there is already damage to decorations and where the presence of dye staining would not create new damage to your property. A coloured dye is introduced into pipework and observations made of surfaces to adjoining walls and floors to narrow down the position of the pipe leak.
