Water Leak Detection
Past work - Videos
Detecting water leak is particularly important due to the unique challenges and risks associated with hidden leaks. Water is a precious resource, and undetected leaks can waste thousands of liters of water. Early detection helps conserve water and reduce environmental impact. Timely water leak detection is vital for protecting property, conserving resources, ensuring safety, and reducing costs.
- Continuous leakage can cause soil erosion, which not only damages the landscape but can also lead to sinkholes or other serious ground instability issues.
- Underground water leaks can erode the soil around a building’s foundation, leading to shifts or settling that can cause cracks or structural instability.
- If left unchecked, underground water leaks can undermine roads, sidewalks, and other infrastructure, leading to costly repairs and potentially dangerous situations.
- Underground leaks can lead to the contamination of drinking water if the leak occurs near a sewer line or other sources of pollution.
Every investigation is different and it is important to use different approaches. Our leak detection specialists follow a methodical “trace and access” approach.
