What is Leak Detection?
Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating hidden or invisible sources of water leaks in buildings, homes, or other structures. It's an essential service for ensuring the safety and integrity of critical systems such as plumbing, HVAC, and electrical.
Benefits of Leak Detection
- Prevents water damage and costly repairs
- Reduces energy bills by minimizing heat loss or gain
- Protects people from electrical shock and drowning hazards
- Enhances building integrity and reduces risk of collapse
Open-Water Leaks: visible signs of water leakage, often due to worn-out or damaged pipes.
Hidden-Water Leaks: invisible sources of water leaks, requiring advanced technologies like infrared imaging and acoustic sensors.
Radiation Leak Detection: monitoring for radioactive contamination using gamma-ray spectroscopy or other specialized equipment.
