Leak detection is essential in protecting buildings against costly water damage and structural problems caused by leaks. Not only does it minimize repair costs but it can help thwart more serious issues, like wood rot and foundational erosion that might arise over time.
Lekdetectiehydrocheck provides professional leak detection services using non-invasive techniques like thermography, acoustic detection and endoscopy that will quickly locate your source of damp patches, rising water bills or musty odors. Their report can often be reimbursed by insurers.
Thermography
Water and heat leaks can do significant damage to buildings if left undetected, leading to damp patches, mold growth, wood rot, high repair costs and costly repair expenses. Professional leak detection can often be reimbursed by insurers.
Thermography uses infrared Lekdetectie camera to identify differences in temperature that indicate leaks. This non-invasive process can be performed any time of the day or night and is particularly helpful for finding leaks in hard-to-reach places or tight spaces.
Our skilled team is adept at quickly and accurately detecting hidden leaks without having to break open walls or ceilings. Using non-invasive techniques such as thermography, acoustic detection, and endoscopy we can pinpoint leaks with centimeter-level accuracy in walls, ceilings, floors or floors in walls, ceilings and floors – guaranteeing highest quality standards as we go. All services provided come with guarantees and our specialists have been trained in both residential and commercial properties to work safely quickly in both environments.
Acoustic detection
Acoustic detection is a non-invasive inspection method that eliminates the need to dig up pipelines. Traditional methods of assessing water pipelines, such as excavation and potholing, require much more time, effort, and money – leaving behind damaged ground surfaces and structures in its wake.
Professional inspectors use acoustic sensors to listen for the sounds of water escaping, using this technology to detect leaks without damage to pipes or features like pools or fountains. It can even locate hidden leaks without disturbing their structure.
Acoustic detection can be especially helpful in hard-to-reach places such as underground pipes and hard to access locations, like hard to reach corners of a room or difficult-to-reach corners of a basement. Used alongside thermal imaging or tracer gas technology to pinpoint leaks more precisely. When combined together these technologies allow experts to overcome limitations like low sound transmission through plastic pipe or excessive background noise for accurate results that prevent costly water losses. Acoustic detection provides an ideal method of protecting costly water loss!
Endoscopy
Water leaks that go undetected can quickly lead to damp patches, mold growth and wood rot in homes and business premises – often extensive damage that is both costly to repair. Our specialists use innovative methods and techniques for pinpointing leaks without incurring extensive demolition or excavation works.
Temperature difference mapping allows thermographic cameras to identify heat leaks while acoustic detection detects sound waves from escaping water, and endoscopy utilizes flexible cameras to inspect hard-to-reach places without damage to structures or fixtures.
Lekdetectiehydrocheck offers competitively-priced inspection services that make diagnosis more cost-effective and help limit structural damage and costly repairs later. They partner with insurers to facilitate swift claims processing, offering expert reports outlining findings that comply with all necessary criteria required by most policies. Their VCA-certified professionals adhere to safety and quality standards suitable for historic buildings, complex installations and new builds alike – perfect for repairs that would otherwise incur substantial repair bills down the line.
Tracer gas
The Tracer Gas Leak Detection Method offers a non-destructive way of pinpointing water, heat and gas leaks without incurring expensive demolition work. This non-invasive procedure introduces harmless inert gas under pressure into pipes to facilitate more precise testing than with sound waves alone. Furthermore, this approach avoids expensive demolition costs altogether while being particularly useful when testing pipes cannot be conducted using Acoustic Testing techniques alone.
Helium and its non-flammable mixture of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen are widely used as tracer gases, providing odorless, tasteless, non-toxic services that are readily available in various size cylinders. As these molecules possess small molecular sizes they can pass easily through leaks or barriers without being affected.
Tracer gas usage must be properly executed as improper use can lead to contamination and false alarms in testing areas. A good technique involves evacuating the test part prior to filling it with tracer gas and making sure it is at an appropriate temperature and pressure.
