What is Leak Detection?
Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating hidden or concealed leaks, often in industrial or commercial settings. This critical task requires expertise in various areas, including plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems.
- Critical leak detection involves monitoring for signs of water intrusion, such as leaks under sinks, around toilets, or behind walls.
 - Accurate leak detection is essential for preventing water damage, reducing energy bills, and mitigating health risks associated with mold and mildew growth.
 
How Does Leak Detection Work?
A leak detection system typically consists of a network of sensors and cameras that detect and record anomalies in real-time. These sensors can be installed on-site or remotely, depending on the specific application.
- Sensors may include pressure sensors to monitor water pressure, temperature sensors for HVAC systems, and flow sensors for plumbing networks.
 - Camera-based leak detection systems use high-resolution images to identify hidden leaks, often with advanced image processing algorithms.
