Leak Detection

Advanced Technology for Accurate Leak Detection

We employ the most sophisticated tools and techniques for the detection of leaks at GPS Plumbing.

• Thermal Imaging: It enables us to locate temperature differences in walls and floors. It helps locate a leak that the naked eye cannot find.
• Acoustic Sensors: These are extremely sensitive listening devices that hear the sound of water leaking out of pipes. It is an effective method for underground leaks.
• CCTV Inspection Cameras: These allow us to see inside the pipes and assess their conditions. They help us point out the source of the leak without invasive measures.
• Electronic Leak Detection: Our electronic equipment can detect the slightest sound of water flowing from the buried pipes.

We make sure that with the help of this technology, we locate leaks accurately and fast thus reducing damage to your property and saving you precious time and money.

Warning Signs of a Hidden Leak

As a homeowner, it is quite important to carry on monitoring for signs that may be giving you an indication of the presence of a concealed leak in your home. Here are some common signs.

• Rise in Water Bills: An unexpected rise in your water bill usually suggests that there is leakage. In case your usage has not changed greatly, start searching.
• Damp Spots: Keep a look for damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors. Such areas could be a sign of infiltration of water due to leakage.
• Mould Growth: Mould thrives on wetness. There must be a leak behind your wall or ceiling if there is visible mould on it.
• Bad Smells: Dampness can often bring a musty smell due to water leaks or even mould growth.
