Leak Detection

A leaky faucet or toilet is too easy to identify and fairly manageable to solve. However, not all water leaks are straightforward. The water leaks coming from buried pipes or pipes inside concrete walls or areas present unique challenges. 

Here are the following commonly used leak detection tools: 

• Acoustic Listening Equipment

This equipment is used to amplify the sound of water leaks inside walls or under concrete areas. These devices allow plumbers to closely estimate a water leak’s location before they start digging or drilling the expected area.

• Video Inspection Equipment

Small cameras allow plumbers to examine or visualize what’s happening inside pipes. A Video Inspection Equipment has been used to retrieve items like car keys, wedding rings, and other small items from drain pipes. Estimating how much cable went down the pipe before spotting the leak allows specialists to correctly examine the pipeline issues and calculate the leak’s area.

• Soil Probes

These devices give plumbers an easy way to listen for pressurized water shooting into the soil surrounding water pipes or sewer lines. The soil probes can minimize how much of your yard is dug up for leak detection.
