Tracer Gases

Before our brilliant engineer can work their magic with tracer gases, they must first bid farewell to any lingering water in the suspected pipework. Only then can they introduce the mesmerizing tracer gases. Fear not, for these gases are not only completely safe but also non-toxic. Picture them as a delightful duo: 95% Nitrogen and 5% Hydrogen. Once released, these gases embark on a daring escape, swiftly navigating the pipework to seek out the elusive leak. They rise with grace, traversing through almost any material in their path, until they finally reveal their location to our trusty sniffing devices. Oh, the marvels of science!

Acoustic Listening Devices

Our amazing Acoustic Listening Devices are specifically designed to detect the sound of water or gas escaping from pipework up to 3 meters below the surface. With their exceptional capabilities, they can accurately pinpoint the exact location of a leak under either an internal floor or an external surface. This makes them an essential tool for both internal and external leak detection.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Market-leading Thermal Imaging devices are like magical tools that can trace the path of hot and cold pipework hiding under your internal floors or behind walls. It's like having a superpower that allows you to see through surfaces! When it comes to the Trace & Access process, Thermal Imaging takes the spotlight at the beginning as the engineer maps out all the hidden pipework in your home. It's like creating a secret treasure map, but instead of gold and jewels, it leads to the mysterious world of pipes!

Snake Cameras

Snake cameras are a fantastic tool for spotting water leaks in hard-to-reach places like walls and cupboards. They allow us to visually inspect areas that are otherwise inaccessible. In the final stages of detecting a leak, snake cameras come in handy to confirm the exact location of the water leak before any further actions are taken. This ensures that we make precise and targeted accesses, saving time and effort.
