Water leak detection equipment

Our water leak detection process involves the use of advanced technologies and non-invasive techniques to pinpoint the source of leaks without causing disruption to the property. 

At Harmuns, we use a range of equipment to find and fix your leak. Every job is different, and our engineers use their years of experience to address the issue in the most efficient way. 

Tracer gas technology

If a leak is not easily detected without the use of specialist equipment, a useful technique of locating water leaks in customer supply pipes, underfloor heating systems, boilers and mains distributions networks is with tracer gas technology.

A tracer gas, a combination of hydrogen and nitrogen, is introduced into the pipe with the suspected leak. Hydrogen is the smallest molecule in the atmosphere, meaning that it will exit the pipe at the leak point and will be picked up by a highly sensitive gas detector.

Acoustic sensors

We use acoustic sensors to detect sound waves that occur from water escaping pipes, enabling quick identification.

Moisture meters

Moisture meters are sensors that measure the moisture content of a material. By placing them at various points on a pipe or in different areas of the building, they will be able to detect where the leak is coming from and assess their severity.

Thermal cameras

Thermal imaging cameras use infrared technology to detect subtle temperature differences and patterns that can make it easier to detect the existence of water. By capturing thermal data and translating it into visual images, these cameras offer a non-invasive means of pinpointing potential water leaks concealed behind walls, ceilings, or floors. 

 

Salts analysis

When water leaks into a space and then evaporates it will leave behind chloride, salts and nitrates. Salts analysis kit enables engineers to take samples and test for the presence of these salts on walls, flooring and ceilings.

Pipe locators

Pipe locators can find pipes and cables down to a depth of 10 metres. They are extremely sensitive and highly accurate, and they are particularly useful for finding the mains water that comes into the property from the street.
