Here at ADI Leak Detection Maidenhead, our services can help you find leaks quickly and with minimal disruption.
A cold or hot water leak can develop over a long period of time without any obvious signs of damage to your property. It is a frustrating problem that gradually worsens and can cause significant damage. The biggest challenge is often not fixing the leak, but rather finding its source in the first place.
The current strategy for designing homes is to focus on aesthetics. Interior designers often hide pipes behind walls and under floorboards to achieve a visually pleasing look. However, this approach can lead to problems, especially when it comes to water leaks in the hot or cold water system. Even a small leak can cause significant damage, and locating the source of the leak can be a challenging task for homeowners.
Fixing the leak requires the expertise of a plumber. However, before the plumber can start the repair process, they need to find and access the leak. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. It requires specialized knowledge and equipment that many plumbers do not have.
When it comes to specialist leak detection companies, ADI Leak Detection was the first company of its kind in the United Kingdom. We recognized the growing issues with hot and cold water leaks and took action to address them. This involved developing strategies, training our staff, and acquiring specialized equipment to effectively solve these problems.
We utilize a variety of tools, some of which are exclusive to our company, to precisely locate the source of a leak. Each water leak is unique, which is why it is crucial to have a team of experts who understand the process and can quickly assess the issue to find an appropriate solution. Some of the tools we employ include:
Thermal imaging cameras are perfect for detecting hot or cold water leaks. When there is a leak, the temperature at the site of the leak typically changes, making it easy to spot with the camera.
Used in situations where we believe the leak is buried quite deep or where access is restricted. Sound travels over a much longer distance, so these devices help us to locate the leak using audio.
Tracer gases are a special combination of hydrogen and nitrogen that produce a unique odor. Our specialist machines can easily detect this smell. By injecting the gas into your pipes, it naturally rises and escapes at the location of the leak. Our machinery can then accurately identify the source of the distinctive smell.
Leak Correlators are used when the suspected depth of a leak is too large for our acoustic listening devices. This equipment can trace water leaks up to 600 meters in length using electric pulses. Typically, Leak Correlators are used in larger rural areas, like farms, where the potential site of the leak could be within a much larger area than a typical residential property.
The moment you suspect a leak in your cold or hot water pipe, it is crucial to take immediate and decisive action. The faster you stop the leak, the less damage it is likely to cause. Unfortunately, the problem won’t fix itself, so it is necessary to call in experts for help. The good news is that in most cases, the cost of our services will be covered by your home insurance. However, we always advise confirming this with your provider. Our engineers are highly sought after due to the quality of our service and our excellent reputation in the industry. If you have landed on this page because you know you have a hidden water leak, then give us a call today to book our service. It could be one of the most important calls you ever make.
