Leak Detection FAQs

How much is a leak detection?

Prices are determined by the size of the property or building and include a comprehensive report.

How do you detect a leak?

We use the latest in thermal imaging, acoustic detection and tracer gas (95% nitrogen & 5% hydorgen) to accurately determine the source of your leak.

What if I leave the leak?

Water is corrosive, not dealing with the leak may not seem like damage is being cause, but over time it could even affect the integrity of the building structure. It’s best to deal with a leak immediately to avoid excessive costs in future.

How accurate is thermal imaging for leak detection?

Thermal imaging is 95%+ accurate for detecting moisture and temperature anomalies. However, it shows where water has accumulated, not always the exact leak source. We often combine thermal imaging with acoustic or gas detection for complete accuracy.

Can you detect leaks under concrete slabs?

Yes! This is where our acoustic and tracer gas equipment excels. Acoustic sensors detect the sound of water under pressure, while tracer gas can be introduced into the pipe system and tracked to the exact leak point.

Will you damage my property during detection?

No. The entire purpose of our advanced equipment is to avoid unnecessary digging. We only recommend opening surfaces after we’ve pinpointed the exact leak location.

How long does leak detection take?

Most residential leak detections take 1-3 hours depending on property size and leak complexity. We provide expert efficient service across Pretoria and Gauteng.
