Unseen water leaks can cause thousands of Rands in damage and inflate your water bill drastically. When you suspect a leak but can’t find it, you need a Leak Detection Specialist Midrand like Pro Irrigation and Plumbing employing non-invasive technology.
🔎 How Pro Irrigation and Plumbing Finds What You Can’t See
We use sophisticated, non-destructive techniques to pinpoint the exact location of a leak, often saving property owners from unnecessary digging and damage:
- Acoustic Listening Devices: We listen for the faint sound of water escaping under pressure, even through concrete or paving.
- Thermal Imaging Cameras: These cameras detect subtle temperature differences caused by cooler water leaking behind walls or under floors.
- Tracer Gas Injection: For challenging leaks, we inject a non-toxic tracer gas into the pipes. The gas escapes at the leak point and is detected above ground by a special sensor.
❓ Plumbing Q&A: How Can I Check for a Leak Myself?
The simplest test is the Water Meter Test:
- Ensure all taps and appliances that use water are turned off.
- Read your water meter and note the exact reading.
- Wait 1-2 hours without using any water.
- Read the meter again. If the reading has changed, you have a leak. Contact Pro Irrigation and Plumbing immediately.
