Visual Leak Detection

This detection equipment goes well beyond looking for damp patches; thermal imaging, endoscopes and divining help us see clean through walls and floors non-destructively.

Visual technology is developing lightning fast for industries like medicine, military and entertainment, fortunately the equipment they’ve developed also makes superb tools for detecting leaks in any domestic, commercial or industrial situation non-destructively. Visual detection is often used hand in hand with acoustic leak detection to get the most accurate results and both can be utilised by our dive team for submerged leak detection.

Our visual leak location methods include;

Miniature camera systems
CCTV, endoscopes and other camera technology gets smaller and more versatile every year, enabling us to look into difficult tight gaps or even down pipelines.

Divining water detection
A surprise for some of our clients, divining is a useful additional tool which relies on no technology whatsoever. Many times when the electronics can’t get a start point the divining rod sets us in the right direction.

Thermal imaging leak detection
An amazingly versatile tool used in everything from scientific research to police chases which spots even tiny leaks of gas or water even 0.02 degrees different in temperature to the surrounding area. Looking clean through walls and pipes thermal imaging can even be used to improve energy efficiency in buildings…

Heat loss, damp detection and energy efficiency
For homeowners or businesses keen to cut their heating bills our thermal imagers can also be turned on your entire property to show where heat is escaping from windows, doors, fascias or roofing and where damp is also playing a role. Our highly experienced engineers can also look at boiler sizing and inspect insulation, double glazing and central heating to ensure everything is doing what it should be. Using the results to guide installations of insulation, new double glazing or remedial work can bring your energy bills down and helps out the environment.

Used alongside our acoustic leak detection equipment such as correlation, gas analysis and ultrasonic there is almost no leak we can’t track and trace, and we’re approved by 128 insurance companies who know we reduce the costs of repair.

We can also offer sales of leak detection equipment and train commercial detection teams
If you deal with leak detection regularly as a plumber, engineer or pipework dependent business, we can reduce your specialist costs by supplying you with the same exceptional equipment we use. Backed up by expert training from our team (which can include detection training for qualified commercial divers) you can quickly make leak detection an in-house service.
