Finding Water Leaks in your Home

Home Owner Leak Detection With National coverage, LDS have located thousands of homeowners leaks and realise how devastating a leak can be to your property causing water damage and costly repairs to your home.

This is where leak detection can be most helpful as the leak detection equipment is specially designed to find a leak anywhere in your property without causing any damage.

How to check for a water mains leak.

If you have a leak on your supply pipe, it is your responsibility if you are the property owner to ensure that the leak is repaired promptly. There are a number of simple checks you can do to check whether you have a leak: Do you hear water running down a drain when no water is being used in the property? Can you hear water hissing or the sound of running water when there is no water being used in the property? Has your water pressure suddenly stopped? Do you have a damp patch in the garden, driveway, or anywhere on your land during dry weather? Is one particular patch of the lawn always green no matter how dry the weather? Are your water meter readings higher than usual? Are you receiving higher water bills? If you have a water meter, make sure that no water is being used in the property and that all taps are turned off, then simply look at the meter  for a couple of minutes. None of the dials should move. If they do then there may be a leak on the supply pipe. Wh...

Finding a water leak on a Fire Ring Main

Image
Fire Water Ring Main  Where a number of fire hydrants are required because of the area of the premises to be covered, the mains supplying these systems should be in the form of a ring main to form a complete circuit of the site. Isolating valves should be incorporated in the system so that sections of the ring main can be isolated to enable repairs to be carried out. Leak Detection Case Study at Sleaford Renewable Energy Plant. How the plant works : The straw is burned in a boiler to produce high temperature, high pressure steam, which is used to drive the steam turbine generator. The steam drives the turbine’s rotor, which in turn generates electricity that is then fed into the national grid. The spent steam is collected and condensed into water before being channelled back into the boiler to start the cycle again. There is between 30-60 lorry loads of straw delivered every day to site to keep the process moving. The process is virtually carbon neutral because the comb...

Underfloor Heating Leaks

Image
  Leak Detection Specialists are experienced in finding underfloor heating leaks Leak Detection Specialists engineers use thermal imaging cameras to help find underfloor heating leaks. Thermal imaging cameras identify very small differences in temperature on the surface of different materials, highlighting the warmer and colder surface areas providing evidence of where the leak is originating. Underfloor heating leaks are highly unlikely but can be found on the manifold. Common underfloor heating problems can be caused by air in the loops, debris in the pipes, incompatible floor finish and incorrect set-up. Thermal imaging works really well when an underfloor heating system with pipes is set in screed, as there is a direct transfer of heat from the pipes to the floor. Depending on the thickness of the flooring and its coverings there may or may not be any surface temperature changes. Thermal imaging results may also be affected by false hot spots due to missing ins...
