In this article, we discuss our approach to water leak detection and what you can expect from our professional plumbing services in 2024.

Our Approach to Water Leak Detection

Ad-Hoc Plumbers employs 3 distinct methods for water leak detection – acoustic imaging, thermal imaging, and gas. Within a pressurised system, the smallest leak can quickly develop into a larger issue and cause resultant damage to your property. Therefore, it is pivotal to be aware of the current water pressure at your property, so that you can take note when the pressure drops over time, which can indicate a potential leak. We utilise acoustic and thermal imaging for indoor applications, and gas for outdoor applications to identify, monitor, and measure unintentional entry or escape of fluids or gasses within a pressurised system.

Our techniques allow us to accurately detect a leak and identify its precise location. As a result, only that area of the pipeline will be replaced as opposed to digging up or carving out the entire pipeline to locate the leak. Commercial, domestic, and municipal pipelines are located by acoustic and gas leak detection equipment, while the thermal imaging equipment is used to measure and detect changes in surface temperature. Surface temperature changes can be an indicator of a potential leak underneath concrete slabs, inside walls and ceilings, and behind tiled surfaces.

Water Leak Origins

Water leaks can originate because of wear and tear over time, bad installations, or the deterioration of areas that surround the pipeline. Sometimes, leaks can spring because of incorrect levels of pressure being applied to the system as well. However, if high pressure levels are applied to a pipeline that already has a leak, it could worsen the situation and cause damage to your property. Therefore, it is important to be safe rather than sorry and get your plumbing system checked for potential leaks to avoid any disasters in the foreseeable future.
