Welcome to our article on leak detection! Leaks can cause significant damage and increase your energy bills. At Silverline Structures, we offer high-quality metal garages that can help you maximize storage space.
One of the most effective ways to detect leaks is by using a gas meter or hydro-metric system. These systems measure the flow rate of gas (or water) into and out of your home. By analyzing this data, you can identify any potential leaks and take corrective action.
What are the signs of a leak?
- Mold and mildew growth
- Flooding or water damage
- Rising damp or mold
- Vents that aren't properly sealed
How to detect leaks using a gas meter or hydro-metric system
Here are some steps you can follow to detect leaks using a gas meter or hydro-metric system:
- Install the gas meter or hydro-meter in a strategic location, such as near a vent.
- Record the flow rates of both the input and output of your home.
- Compare the recorded data to identify any potential leaks.
- Troubleshoot and repair any issues you find.
