The World of Leak Detection
Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating hidden leaks or sources of water damage in buildings, homes, or other structures. It's a crucial step in preventing property damage, reducing insurance costs, and minimizing environmental impact.
Types of Leak Detection Methods
- Dry leak detection: uses infrared cameras to detect water stains on walls or floors.
- Wet leak detection: uses acoustic sensors to detect the sound of running water.
- Pipe leak detection: uses non-invasive techniques such as gas chromatography to identify leaks in pipes.
Advanced leak detection methods include using drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras, or utilizing satellite imaging to identify areas where water may be accumulating.
