Leak Detection Tracer Gas

Leak Detection Specialists use various methods of leak detection to find hidden water leaks. A very successful leak detection method is the use of Tracer Gas.

Our engineers will locate the location of water pipes using acoustics and then use technology called hydrogen leak detection also known as tracer gas, containing hydrogen and nitrogen. Tracer gas can be used in both domestic and commercial proprietors.

Our experienced engineers will drain down the water system and then fill it with a non-explosive gas. As the gas flows through the water pipes it will leak out through the holes in those same pipes and when it does the gas detectors can allow us to pinpoint the exact location of the leak itself. Our engineers will then refill your system, there is no need for a plumber. Any re-commissioning of the pipework or central heating system will be carried out by our fully trained engineers before leaving the site.

Leak detection tracer gas is a non-invasive leak detection technology used by our engineers in combination with other leak detection methods giving you the very best leak detection service with results first time!

Why use hydrogen as the tracer gas?

Hydrogen, at 5% in a balance of nitrogen, is:
  • non flammable
  • non toxic
  • non corrosive
  • totally safe
  • commonly used as a blanket gas in welding so is cheaply and readily available from all the standard gas suppliers
  • has the smallest and lightest molecules so permeates all surfaces including concrete, tarmac, block paving and grass, rising quickly to the surface
  • rapidly disperses in air allowing you to hone in quickly to the source
  • unlike helium leak detection, which has also been used for some types of leak detection tracing, hydrogen is renewable and cheap; helium is finite and expensive
Leak Detection Specialists will locate your leak in one visit and have a 99% success rate in finding leaks due to using a combination of leak detection methods along with our years of experience in locating leaks. We have engineers all over the country enabling us to provide a fast response.
