Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating leaks in a property, typically in plumbing, electrical, or HVAC systems. It's essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of these systems.
- Traditional methods include visual inspections, water pressure testing, and equipment monitoring.
- Modern approaches incorporate advanced technologies like infrared imaging, acoustic sensors, and data analytics.
Leak detection is critical for several reasons:
- Prevents water damage, which can lead to costly repairs and even health hazards.
- Reduces energy consumption by minimizing heat loss or gain through leaks.
- Saves time and money by identifying issues early on, reducing the likelihood of more extensive problems down the line.
