Some of our leak detection services include:
Acoustic leak detection is a highly effective method for locating leaks within plumbing systems.
We use advanced sound technology to detect the noise from water or fluids escaping from pipes under pressure.
Ideal for both residential and commercial properties, acoustic leak detection is especially useful for identifying leaks hidden underground or within walls where they are not visible.
Utilising advanced infrared cameras, this technique captures temperature variations to visualise areas where leaks may be causing changes in the thermal profile of a building.
This method is particularly effective for detecting hidden leaks in walls, ceilings, and floors and identifying moisture that has not yet manifested visible signs of leakage.
Pressure testing is a critical and precise method to assess the integrity of plumbing and piping systems.
This technique involves applying pressurised air or water to the pipes and monitoring the pressure to detect any drop, indicating the presence of hidden water leaks or burst pipes.
Pressure testing is a definitive approach to ensuring pipelines are secure and leak-free. It is suitable for both new installations and existing systems suspected of leakage.
Detecting and repairing leaks early can lead to significant cost savings. Unaddressed leaks can increase water bills and cause costly damages requiring extensive repairs.
Professional plumbing leak detection helps identify leaks early, conserving water and contributing to environmental sustainability.
Water leaks can weaken the structural components of a building, leading to serious issues like mould growth and even foundational damage. Early detection of leaks can help maintain the structural integrity of your property by addressing problems before they escalate.
Yes, once a leak is detected, we can usually carry out repairs. Our technicians are equipped to handle most plumbing repairs, ensuring the leak is fixed promptly and effectively.
The duration of leak detection can vary depending on the property size and the plumbing systems’ complexity. Typically, inspecting a standard residential property thoroughly takes a few hours.
The cost of leak detection services can vary based on the scope of the inspection and the methods used. However, detecting and repairing leaks early can save you money in the long run by preventing more severe damage and reducing water waste.
Yes. All of our plumbers are certified and trained in the latest specialised leak detection equipment and techniques.
We recommend regular inspections for routine property maintenance, especially for older buildings or those with plumbing issues.
An annual check is typical, but more frequent inspections may be necessary for high-risk areas or commercial properties.
Even if a leak appears to be small, it is best not to ignore it. A build up of moisture behind walls and under floors can be incredibly detrimental to your property. In the case of a burst pipe, this needs immediate attention.
Give yourself the peace of mind that comes from knowing your leak will be repaired correctly the very first time. Contact the Perth leak detectors at Proud Plumbing & Gas now. We service the entire Perth Metropolitan area.
