Usually speaking electronic leak detection is used for locating leaks on underground water lines. Leaks above the slab and beneath raised foundations (wood floors), will not be discernible with standard leak detecting equipment and are better and much more economically dealt with by conventional implies.
Acquiring the leak
Sewer and drain line leaks are best located with sewer cameras. To begin with it need to be determined that there is a leak below a concrete floor, ahead of initiating electronic leak detection. Signals are a hot spot on the floor, the sound of water running when all plumbing fixtures usually are not in use and water coming from someplace on the floor (ground floor), or at a low point on a wall (1st story). Hot water coming from a cold tap as well as a water heater that will not shut off, or re-ignites swiftly, are other signs. At that point one really should check the water meter. In the event the needle is moving and no plumbing fixtures, or bibs, are in use, then there is undoubtedly a leak somewhere. In the event the main shut-off valve is closed and also the meter's needle stops, it indicates that the leak is in the house (creating). Otherwise it's occurring in between the meter and also the dwelling.
Place of leak
Once it is actually determined that the leak is in the house, the house shut-off valve might be reopened (causing the meter needle to resume movement) and also the hot water shut-off valve, positioned around the cold water inlet for the water heater, might be closed. In the event the needle once again stops moving, it means the leak is around the hot water line.
As soon as it has been determined exactly where the leak is, the loss of water is often controlled by closing either the hot water heater shut-off valve, that will nevertheless leave you with all the permanent use of cold water, or by closing the house shut-off valve, if it is a cold water leak, that will leave you with no water. If there is not substantial water coming into the dwelling, these valves is often re-opened for short term use after which re-closed for the duration of instances of non-use. This enables the occupants to flush toilets, take showers, wash dishes and laundry, and so on., though the diagnoses and repair process is becoming implemented.
To perform the leak detection, the pipes are disconnected, typically in the water heater, and pressurized with nitrogen. This distinct gas is exceptional for creating a "high-pitched" sound that is certainly simply detected via a set of high-quality head phones using a sophisticated listening device. When the highest decibel of sound is located, the leak is pin-pointed. Occasionally the sound will transfer by means of a channel of some kind, commonly plastic pipe wrapping and the point of discovery might be a few inches or feet away, but we've experienced improved than 95% accuracy with our electronic leak detection equipment.
