Modern leak detection techniques utilize cutting-edge tools, like endoscopic cameras or tracer gas equipment, to pinpoint leak sources without breaking walls or ceilings – saving both costs and providing insight into things which would otherwise remain hidden from view.
Ultrices Lekdetectie’s expertise lies in air tightness measurements and tracer gas techniques, with our expertiseverslag available within three working days at a fixed price.
Underfloor heating leaks
Leaks in underfloor heating systems may develop for many different reasons, from damage during installation to wear and tear of pipes and fittings, making leakage hard to detect without using special tools.
Ultrices Detecting leak specializes in finding floor heating leaks using non-destructive technology, using thermal imaging and acoustic measurements to pinpoint their locations and arrange repairs quickly to prevent further property damage. Our specialty lies in pinpointing leaks using non-destructive techniques; using thermal imaging and acoustic measurements we quickly and accurately detect your issue, quickly diagnosing its source, arranging repairs quickly and preventing further damages to your property.
Our technicians use modern detection equipment such as FLIR warmtebeeldcamera’s and tracer gas metering systems to find even the smallest leaks without damaging walls or ceilings.
Detecting leaks
Leak detection software takes advantage of the fact that fluids escaping pipelines produce an acoustic signal as they travel. Acoustic sensors attached to pipelines record this noise, creating an “acoustic “fingerprint”. Vibrations caused by escaping fluids will then create their own baseline pattern; any deviations from this could indicate leakage in real time.
Leaky pipes may be caused by corrosion, leading to pinhole leaks, or by natural earth movement which moves pipes around and causes them to rub against each other and crack open over time. Overpressured water being pumped at higher pressure may also create leakage within a pipe that eventually causes leakage through cracks in its walls or through holes it creates within itself, thus leading to cracks being formed over time.
Software developed specifically to assist utilities can easily integrate with billing or customer information systems to communicate consumption data to customers and warn of potential leaks before receiving an excessive bill, saving both expense and time associated with tracking down leaks and fixing them.
Siphon leaks
Siphon leaks are an often frustrating problem that creates annoying odors, unwelcome puddles and costly water damage. Most often this issue can be resolved by turning off the water supply and manually or mechanically unplugging and removing the siphon (this can be accomplished either with hand tools or wrench). Once done you can replace sealing material and reconnect the pipes as necessary.
Install anti-siphon devices to avoid backflow and siphoning of water from your shower head and plumbing line, to protect yourself against costly shower repairs later on. In addition, regularly inspect and maintain both components – the shower head itself as well as its plumbing line – for wear and tear before they lead to full-scale siphon leakage issues.
