Advanced Leak Detection Methods in Winchester
​
At LDS, we use a blend of non-destructive techniques to locate even the most elusive leaks. Each property and situation is different, which is why we tailor our approach using the most suitable tools and methods for the job.
​
Here’s How We Do It:
​
1. Acoustic Profiling
Leaks create a distinct sound, even those hidden beneath concrete or behind walls. Our engineers use sensitive acoustic listening equipment to detect the unique frequencies created by escaping water. This method allows us to “listen through” and identify the exact location of the leak, helping us act fast and avoid unnecessary property damage.
​
2. Tracer Gas Surveys
When a leak is particularly hard to find, we turn to tracer gas, which is one of the most accurate methods available. A harmless, odourless gas is introduced into the pipe system and because the gas is lighter than air, it escapes through the smallest cracks or holes, where our detectors then identify the leak point. Tracer gas surveys are especially effective for underground and underfloor leaks, where other techniques may struggle.
​
3. Pressure Testing
Pressure testing helps us confirm whether a leak exists in your system and can identify which section of pipework is affected. By safely isolating and testing individual sections of your plumbing or heating system, we can pinpoint problem areas and focus our investigation where it’s needed most. It’s an essential step for ensuring accurate diagnosis and reducing guesswork.
​
4. Moisture Mapping
Water doesn’t always appear where the leak originates as it travels along walls, floors, and ceilings. Using advanced moisture mapping tools, we track how water spreads through building materials. This helps us identify hidden damp areas, assess the extent of water damage, and conduct accurate repairs.
