What is Leak Detection?

Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating leaks in a plumbing system. It's an essential step in maintaining the integrity and performance of your pipes, fixtures, and appliances.

Types of Leaks

• Drainage leaks: water backs up in the sink or shower due to a clogged drain.
• Gas leaks: gas escapes from the pipes, potentially causing fires or explosions.
• Water main breaks: water overflows into the surrounding area due to a broken water main.

Signs of a Leak

Identifying signs of a leak can be challenging, but there are some obvious indicators. Look for unusual noises, water damage, or mold growth in your home.

Solution Methods for Leak Detection

There are several solution methods for leak detection, including:

• Mechanical leak detection: using tools to locate and repair leaks.
• Cam-based leak detection: using a camera to visually inspect the pipes.
• Chemical-based leak detection: using chemicals to detect leaks in real-time.
