LDS provides accurate, non-invasive leak detection to protect your property. Here’s why our service is the best choice.
Our leak detection survey services offer a precise and non-invasive way to locate hidden leaks within your drainage installation, saving time, cost, and disruption. We use a combination of advanced techniques and tools to pinpoint leaks accurately, including acoustic listening devices, moisture sensors, and tracer gases. Each method is selected based on the unique structure of your drainage system and the suspected location of the leak.
We start by conducting an initial assessment to understand the layout and identify any areas where leakage might be affecting water flow. Using acoustic technology, we listen for the sound of water escaping under pressure, which allows us to locate leaks even deep within walls or underground. For complex or hard-to-find leaks, we use tracer gas detection, introducing a safe, non-toxic gas into the system. Any leaks present will cause the gas to escape, which can then be detected with specialised equipment.
Once identified, we provide a detailed report of our findings, including the exact location of leaks and recommended repairs to restore the integrity of your drainage installation. This proactive approach helps prevent further damage and costly water waste, ensuring your drainage system remains efficient and reliable for years to come.
