Leak Detection Methods
Moisture Measurement
Using a moisture meter, we map the moisture content in materials. This essential tool is used in combination with our leak detection equipment to identify moisture buildup and potential damage to structures.
Thermographic
Using thermal imaging cameras, we detect temperature differences in materials. This method helps us identify hidden moisture problems and leaks by locating warm and cold zones.
Dye Method
By adding dye to the water supply, it becomes visible where the water is leaking. This method also highlights gaps in insulation and makes leaks visible without the need for breaking work.
UV Lumination
UV lumination, dissolved in water, makes leaks visible under UV light. It is colorless but bright under the lamp and works where other dyes provide insufficient contrast.
Tracer Gas
In the tracer gas method, we use a special gas to detect leaks. The gas is injected into the system and escapes through leaks, where we can detect it with sensitive equipment.
Smoke Test
In a smoke test, we fill the piping system with smoke to detect leaks. Smoke escapes through the smallest openings, allowing us to quickly and effectively locate leaks.
Endoscopic
With an endoscope, we inspect hard-to-reach areas in pipes and structures. The flexible probe with a camera provides detailed images, allowing us to identify hidden leaks.
Sewer Camera
Our sewer cameras inspect the interior of pipes up to 25 meters deep. With real-time images, we can accurately detect leaks, cracks, and blockages in sewer systems.
