Acoustic Correlation
Our acoustic correlation technology identifies leaks by analysing sound patterns in pipework. This non-invasive method detects water leaks through metal and plastic pipes with exceptional accuracy. Engineers use sensitive hydrophones to pinpoint exact leak locations without requiring property damage, making it ideal for both domestic and commercial applications. The system's advanced algorithms ensure precise diagnostics across complex pipe networks.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature variations indicating hidden water leaks. Our FLIR-certified engineers interpret thermal patterns to identify moisture behind walls and under floors. This rapid assessment technique provides real-time visual data, enabling immediate leak location confirmation. The technology works effectively on various building materials while maintaining complete property integrity during inspections.
Tracer Gas Detection
Tracer gas technology involves injecting inert gas mixtures into pressurised systems to identify micro-leaks. Our specialists use precision mass spectrometers to detect escaping gas concentrations as low as 0.1ml/min. This method excels at locating intermittent leaks in challenging environments like concrete floors and external pipework. The technique meets industry standards for accuracy in both residential and industrial applications.
Inspection Cameras
High-resolution CCTV cameras provide direct visual access to internal pipe conditions. Our waterproof, articulating camera heads navigate complex drainage systems up to 100 metres deep. Real-time video feeds allow immediate identification of cracks, blockages, and joint failures. The system includes distance measurement capabilities and integrates with mapping software for comprehensive pipeline condition assessments.
Noise Loggers
Noise logger technology continuously monitors pipe networks for leak-generated sounds. Our engineers strategically place acoustic sensors to detect and analyse leak signatures over extended periods. This method excels at identifying intermittent leaks in large-scale systems and provides data for creating targeted repair plans. The system's sensitivity allows detection of minute leaks before they escalate into major issues.
