Our Leak Detection Services
Cape Town Leak Detection and Plumbing uses proven leak detection methods and advanced technology to find hidden water leaks fast. We can solve even the most challenging leakage problems.
We offer the following expert services:
After turning off the main water valve, our leak expert will use a gas leak detector to find the problem. First, they need to fill the pipes under pressure with tracer gas. The gas will seep from the leak and filter through the soil or pavement. On the surface, the team can use a high-precision scientific sniffer probe, measures in parts per million, to inspect the area more carefully and pinpoint the position of the affected pipe section.
A gas leak detector is ideal for accurately locating even the tiniest, otherwise undetectable sub-surface leaks. After finding the concealed leaking pipe, the team can excavate and repair the area.
A thermal imaging camera, also known as an infrared imaging and measurement camera, can detect minuscule heat and moisture differentials. Subtle changes in thermal energy will reveal the water leak’s location.
Thermal imaging is an accurate water leak detection test for leaks unnoticeable by the naked eye in pipes behind walls or other surfaces. It is sometimes used in conjunction with other tests to locate leaks accurately or to confirm findings from other tests.
Digital electro-acoustic leak detection is a system that amplifies the sound of a leaking pipe. A specialist will use the highly sensitive probe connected to a digital wire microphone to capture noise readings. Through expert interpretation of these readings, they can locate the site of the leak before repairs begin.
Acoustic leak detection has many applications but is most apt for locating certain leaks around surface pipes, connections, valves, and hydrants.
A specialist lowers a high-resolution camera fixed to a wire or flexible rod into the sewer line. Using the live feed, the team can inspect the pipe's inside for blockages or damages in real time.
Drain camera inspections are ideal for pipes that are frequently blocked. The footage can reveal obstructions, roots intrusion, pipe settlement or movement, cross connections, and other problems not identifiable from the surface. Accurately determining the precise location and origin of drainage problems prevents unnecessary and inaccurate excavation, saving time and money.
Knowing where pipes are located in walls, ceilings, floors, and underground can ensure safe construction and save money by avoiding unnecessary digging or damages to vital plumbing systems.
A water pipe locator traces and locates hidden pipes through conductive and inductive methods. As a result, the team can map metal plumbing behind walls, in ceilings or below floors with high accuracy.
Pipe tracing and locating are vital initial steps before renovation, demolition, or digging.
Finding leaks is only the beginning of the solution. Our plumbing specialists also fix the issues they detect to stop leaks and restore your plumbing system to full functionality.
Our experienced team offers detailed reports to submit to insurers for reimbursement of costs associated with water leaks and burst pipes. Furthermore, we provide proactive advice and installations to prevent future leaks and damages.
Our state-of-the-art methods and technology locate invisible leaks with accuracy.
