Leak Detection
Whether you need a leak detection performed at your home, business, or any other facilities, Pipe Scan has the equipment, experience & expertise to provide top-quality solutions & services.
We use cutting edge and non-invasive leak detection equipment to detect your leak. Our industry expertise paired with cutting-edge technology both help to locate all leak types within homes, businesses, water features and many more places that a leak may occur.
Acoustic
The acoustic method uses sonographic equipment to isolate the sound of water escaping from the underground pipework. It works by locating the lowest consistent noise of the water escaping the pipe, and reduces external noise.
Features:
- Best choice for locating water leaks in underground services.
- Used for water leaks at a rate of more than 6 litres per minute.
Tracer Gas
Tracer Gas is used where leaks are difficult to locate. Specialist gas is pressurised through the pipes and then detected above the ground as it escapes.
Used in internal or external applications, this method tests for leakages on most systems or pipe constructions, including distribution or network pipes, heating systems and waste pipes.
Features:
- Absolute precision. This means it locates leaks where other methods fail.
- Cutting-edge system, offering advantages over more traditional methods.
- Very high leak detection rating.
- The accuracy of the technique means that the path of the leak can be accurately placed.
Thermal Imaging
The thermal imaging method uses infrared technology to measure thermal energy - or heat - that cannot be seen by the naked eye. This energy is so powerful and invisible it can hide water leaks. We use our infrared technology to successfully measure the heat, and find the leak.
Features:
- Essential in tracking the path of a leak from its origin through to where the moisture damage has spread.
- Excellent for large scale areas of water damage.
