THE TECHNOLOGY, EXPLAINED
Good equipment.
Better interpretation.
Specialist tools help us gather evidence. Understanding what each result means — and its limitations — is what makes the investigation useful.
There is no single device that finds every leak. We match the methods to your pipework, symptoms, construction and access, and compare findings before recommending an opening.
Thermal imaging
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. Those patterns can help identify heating-pipe routes, unusual warmth or cooling and areas worth investigating more closely.
Explore the methodTHE TECHNOLOGYAcoustic leak detection
Escaping water can create sound that travels through pipework and surrounding materials. Specialist listening equipment helps an engineer compare those sounds at useful points.
Explore the methodTHE TECHNOLOGYTracer-gas leak detection
A suitable specialist tracer-gas test can help locate an escape from an isolated pipe section. A sensitive detector is used to investigate where the gas emerges above or around the suspected route.
Explore the methodTHE TECHNOLOGYPressure testing
A controlled pressure test helps assess whether a suitable section of pipework holds pressure under the chosen test conditions. It is an important way to narrow an investigation before locating the escape.
Explore the methodTHE TECHNOLOGYMoisture mapping
Moisture mapping compares readings across affected and surrounding areas. It helps describe the extent and pattern of moisture so the investigation can focus on useful questions.
Explore the methodTHE TECHNOLOGYBorescope inspection
A compact inspection camera can provide a view into an accessible void or opening. It may reveal pipework, moisture or a route that cannot be seen from the room.
Explore the methodTHE TECHNOLOGYLeak-noise correlation
Correlation compares leak-related sound received at different accessible positions on a suitable pipe section. It can help estimate the likely position of a sound source between those points.
Explore the methodTHE TECHNOLOGYControlled dye testing
A suitable tracing dye can help investigate a suspected water pathway in a controlled use-related test. It may add evidence where water appears after a fixture or waste connection is used.
