Professional Plumbing Leak Detection Equipment
When it comes toΒ Plumbing Leak Detections, finding a leak starts withΒ LeakTronics Plumberβs Leak Detection Equipment, and looking for access to make contact with pipes, and above all β listening!
LeakTronics professionalΒ plumbers leak detection equipmentΒ does just that by using new technology to getΒ accurate detectionsΒ withΒ precise findings, wherever leaks are hiding.
Leaks in residential or commercial plumbing all share similar traits. The pressure of the water source pushing behind the leak is going to force the pipe to make a sound. This is a small amount of pressure, 8-12 pounds. When itβs in a copper or metal pipe, the sound radiates down the pipe and can be heard using aΒ DeckPlateΒ or aΒ Pipe Probe. By touching pipes, stub-ups, angle stops and faucets through the property, a leak detection technician can hone in on the precise area of the leak and reduce the overall invasive techniques necessary to access the pipe and make repairs. WithΒ LeakTronics Plumbers Kit, accuracy is easy (pictured).
AΒ leak detectionΒ starts where the water enters the property. A contractor will typically shut the water to the house and see if the street meter is showing any movement. if it is, this alerts the contractor to water escaping a pipe on the property between the meter and the domicile. It might be a house, an apartment building or a strip mall, but between the meter and where it enters the building, thereβsΒ water leaking out of a pipe.
Hear and Pinpoint Leaks Fast
If the meter doesnβt show movement, the contractor will re-open the valve, letting water into the building. With all faucets off, nothing running in the house, the meter should now show movement on its dial. This lets the contractor know there is a leak, and because the meter is now open to the house, they know itβs inside the building.
When finding leaks, theΒ Plumbers Leak Detection KitΒ includes everything a contractor needs to identify leaks anywhere on the property. The DeckPlate finds leaks under concrete and solid surfaces, decking, floors and more. The Pipe Probe can hear leaks in metal and plastic pipes under soil, landscaping, aggregate and solid surfaces as well. When listening in plastic pipes, the contractor will use the Pressure Rig to inject bursts of air and water into the pipe, creating the sound of the leak that can be detected underground, through walls, floors or cabinetry.
Below youβll see how usingΒ LeakTronicsΒ Pipe Probe, part of theΒ Plumbing Leak Detection Kit, gets you hearing the leak,Β even at a distance. This includes touching the ultra-sensitiveΒ Pipe Probe, and theΒ Pipe Probe Extension Rod, to various points of entry, including: shower valves, laundry valves, angle stops, stub-ups and areas where pipes reveal themselves. Add to that,Β LeakTronicsΒ Deck Plate, for listening under concrete slabs and below flooring. With these, even a whisper can be heard from a leaking pipe.
