Equipment we use for Tracing Water Leaks

ADI Leak detection are the Original UK Leak Detection specialists and are proud to have our specialist research and development division, who’s time is dedicated to improving the methods used to find water leaks – that’s why our engineers are the best equipped in the industry.

All of our Leak Detection engineers carry this equipment at a minimum, while many carry test rigs and more advanced pieces of specialist equipment.

Tracer Gases

Before our engineer can use tracer gases they will need to drain the suspected pipework of water before introducing tracer gases. The tracer gases are completely safe and non toxic, compromising of 95% Nitrogen & 5% Hydrogen. These gases escape the pipework at the location of the leak, rising to the surface through almost all materials before being located by our sniffing devices.

Acoustic Listening Devices

Our impressive Acoustic Listening Devices are used to listening to the sound of water or gas escaping from pipework up to 3 meters below the surface. They are used to pinpoint the exact location of a leak under an internal floor or external surface so are used in both internal and external leak detection.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Market leading Thermal Imaging devices are used to trace the path of hot and cold pipework under internal floors and behind walls. Thermal Imaging is normally used at the start of the Trace & Access process as the engineer maps out the hidden pipework in your home.

Snake Cameras

Snake cameras are used for looking water leaks inside walls, under cupboards and anywhere where a physical look is required but it not possible. Snake Cameras are used in the latter stages of a leak detection, to confirm the water leak is where suspected before access is made.
