Water Line Leak Detection
Unfortunately, leaks can occur suddenly, causing water damage. Immediate leak detection is crucial to prevent major damage. At Hukill's Leak Detection, we offer fast and efficient services for various types of plumbing leaks. Whether it's leaky pipes in homes, leaks in slabs, driveways, or roads, our expert leak detection specialists utilize advanced technology to provide professional water and gas leak detection services. We understand that plumbing leaks can happen anytime, which is why we offer emergency leak detection services for residential and commercial properties, even underground.
Acoustics
Underground pipe leaks often create vibrations in the surrounding earth. Our ground microphones detect these vibrations, converting them into audible signals. With years of expertise in acoustic sounding, we excel in pinpointing elusive leaks effectively.
Tracer Gas
Sometimes it is not possible to use acoustics due to:
noisy environment
depth of pipe
size of leak
In these circumstances we will replace the water in the pipe with an inert gas. The gas will escape from the break in the pipe and rise to the surface where it is detected using the trace gas "sniffer" unit.
