Thankfully, the knowledge of our technicians is well up to the task, and our experts at Prime Plumbing LLC have proven experience in rapidly detecting and repairing any kind of leak.
Methods of Water Leak Detection
One of the first steps involved in water leak detection is the process of verifying that a leak actually exists in the first place. Our plumbers can accomplish this by placing a pressure test on the system and noting where the water pressure increases or decreases. Next, our technicians pinpoint the leak’s exact location by using highly accurate line tracking technology to determine where a pipe is, along with its distinct path. If necessary, our technicians will also fill the pipe with additional air to precisely isolate the leak.
​
At this point, we can then operate equipment that amplifies the electric sound of the pipe. This advanced technology allows us to exactly track the pipe leak, pinpointing the spot where the loudest reverberation is being echoed at the leaking location. Once the leak has been located and isolated, our technicians can then decide on the best plan of action to repair the crack or hole in the pipe.
Advantages of Leak Detection
There are several benefits of using leak detection rather than traditional digging methods, including:
Traditional plumbers have customarily used the “digging system,” which essentially involves digging through your entire yard or tearing down large sections of walls just to find a minor leak. This has about the same effect of amputating your entire leg just to mend a sprained toe – what begins as a minor problem results in major, costly consequences.
​
-
Superior precision: Leak detection allows us to identify the exact location of the leak, rather than vaguely guessing its general proximity.
​
-
Non-destructive isolation: Due to the sophisticated and advanced nature of our equipment, our technicians will not have to ravage your entire backyard or bathrooms just to find a leak. You will not have to worry about damaged landscape or architecture, or even about cleaning up a gigantic mess after our detection process​
-
Huge money savings: The entire digging process is expensive on its own because it requires large digging and tunneling equipment to tear down obstacles. These costs do not even begin to account for the repairs required to restore your home or yard after the destructive process of digging. Our high-tech detection methods save you an abundance financially and will remove a lot of mental and emotional stress as well.
