Hidden leaks in hot/cold water pipe, sewer/stormwater pipe or even gas pipe systems can cause a lot ofdamage if they remain undetected. A trained plumber will know how to repair a leaking pipe but is notalways the best expert to discover exactly where water is escaping from, especially if water pipes remainhidden from view.

Acoustic Leak DetectionPrior to using acoustic detection, additional specialist equipment is employed to locate and plot the piperoutes and determines their depth below the floor or the ground. Then the use of a sensitive groundmicrophone is deployed to enhance the sound of the leak within a pipe. Acoustic detection equipment isgenerally used on pressurised pipe work only - mains supply, cold/hot mains feed and heating pipes.Thermal Image Leak DetectionAlso referred to as infra-red camera detection, its main function is to detect leaks on hot water heatingpipes. The camera works on temperature differentials and defines heat patterns through variousmaterials. It can also be used to locate leaks on flat roofs and determine temperature differentialsthrough a property structure caused by high levels of moisture. Only qualified technicians should beappointed to carry out this work, and they will fully understand the resultant images and correctlyinterpret what is being shown.Tracer Gas DetectionA safe mix of 95% Nitrogen and 5% Hydrogen gas can be used to purge heating pipes when difficulty isexperienced in locating leaks i.e. those too big or small for acoustic detection. The gas is pressurised intothe pipe via the stop-tap and is detected above ground level by hydrogen sensitive probes. The gas usedis completely harmless to the drinking water supply. The heating system being tested would need to beturned off and drained prior to commencement of this method.Use of EndoscopesAn endoscope is a specialist viewing tool used to inspect places that cannot be seen by the naked eye.Particularly useful for cavity inspections and looking into service voids, a camera can be attached to theendoscope to take photographs. (E.g. floor voids, wall cavities, below shower trays, roof voids etc.)Water and Salts AnalysisSamples of water and/or salts can be taken from site for testing. Tests can be carried out to determine ifa water source is from mains tap water, ground water source or soil evaporation water however theequipment is effective for testing any water type.Pipe and or Pipe Joint Excavation And RepairsOnce the leaking pipe has been located Cityside Plumbing can also arrange for the excavation and repairof the problem pipe or pipe joint.
