Because, there are some company who uses old techniques and equipment to detect leaks which can damage your property. Here, some of the tips that can help to select best water leak detectors.

How to Find?

Use the Internet

The internet is a best option to get information about any service or product. Search for leak detection service nearby your local area. You will get website list of leak detection companies. Read the information about all companies and call them to get the detail about their service rates. Also read the testimonials and reviews, if it exists. Look for company blog, social media accounts and local directory listing to check their reputation and presence. Also, find verifiable certificates, projects which they have done previously and pictures of recent works.

Ask Your Friends and Relatives

this is another best way to select a right leak detection company. Ask your friends and relatives who have already done leak detection from some authorized leak detection company. Get the information how much they paid and how was the experience in the use of that leak detection company. Visit the place, where they had leaked and assess the area to check whether any damage exist to property or not.

Which Qualities are required?

Highly Trained Professionals

Only trained leak detectors can detect the difficult leaks. Companies are using modern equipment to detect the leaks but to use the equipment they have to train their leak detectors.

Leak Detection without Damage

as the companies using the latest equipment ensure that they detect the leak without damaging your property. If they need to dig out the leak area then make sure they ask for your permission before digging.

Experience in Detecting Leaks

Difficult leaks can only detect by experienced leak detectors. Check how many years of experience they have. Minimum 15 years of Experience Company can provide you best accurate leak detection service.

On top the above points can help you to select the best leak detection company.

We had seen many leaking problems at most common places like bathroom, wall, underground pipes, sinks, gas pipe and many more. These leaks may harm your property. So, it is required to fix them. For that there are so many leak detector companies who provide an excellent service and solve all your leaking problems without damaging your property. The water leak detector companies have well trained technicians to detect hidden leaks. They are highly expert in use of modern equipment and advanced technology. They give you a quality service and exact location of the leak. The leak detectors used different types of methods to detect a leak. Some of the popular leak detection techniques are as follows.

Acoustic Leak Detection

With acoustic leak detect techniques we can locate hidden leaks quickly and efficiently. The leaks in underground, pressurized pipes may make many different sounds which show the presence of the leaks. So, the expert attached sound sensor to hear the sound. Every hydrant, valve and service line is a possible location to hear the sounds of water leaks. Since the sound travels on the pipe, always listen at the hydrants, valves and meters first. As they get closer to the leak, the sounds get louder. Finally, they find the exact location and pinpoint it. They provide detailed summary report on the leak detector results that can be used for asset performance reports.

Infrared Leak Detection

Infrared technology was invented in the 1980's. Infrared equipment back in the 1980's was very large and expensive. But now with advances in technology we have infrared cameras that will fit in the palm. This device is a part of electromagnetic spectrum that includes radio waves, X-rays and visible light. With Infrared leak detect technique, we can quickly locate the problem areas that can't be seen by the naked eye. It is very accurate technique as compare to others. The process is non-invasive, non-contact and result can be viewed within minutes. In this method there is no need to put the holes in your walls or ceilings in order to provide a complete and accurate infrared inspection reports.

Tracer Gas Detection

In this method, the gas is injected into the suspicious area and the injection point sealed with tape. The leak meter fitted with miniature sniffer to locate the leakage route. This technique is used to detect a micro leak. There are two methods of tracer gas detection. One is tracer gas helium and the second is tracer gas hydrogen. The tracer gas helium is generally used for applications with high sensitivity. The tracer gas hydrogen technique is especially designed for industrial applications.

Digital Camera Leak Detection

For detect a leak in underwater, the digital camera leak detect technique is very popular in this field. In this system the device warns the user with flashing ultra bright LED that is visible from the outside of your camera housing. This system is very easy to install in your digital camera and comes with complete full precise instruction.

Water leak detection came in limelight in the late eras of 70s, when computer rooms are at their infancy. Most of computer rooms are furnished with air conditioners connecting with humidity. These humidifiers are also come in the form of chilled water conditioner for cooling the room and to maintain the room temperature. Because of the large amount of power cables and data cables, water pipes needed in the room a raised floor to hide all the services of the air conditioner system. Unfortunately if any pipe will start leaking, any water leak cannot be detected until these power cables and data cables connections were immersed in the water and the computers stop working. For this terrible situation water leak detection came into existence and with the rise of modern technology, it becomes better and better.  Ultimately the leak detection services came to run the leak detection companies. In the starting era of 80s the water leak detection is taking place with the help of a spot probe sensors. These units would consist of either an etched PCB or two metal electrodes. Sensing for water was done using a DC voltage in one sensor while looking for a return signal in the other. 

In the middle of 80s, water leak detection cable was invented. The advantage of this type of sensing being that water is detected along the entire length of cable. This allowed areas of equipments of cabling containing to be surrounded ensuring that leaks were found at no matter what direction the water flowed. At the end of 80s, leak detection services take a new way with advance technology with alarm panels that report the water leaking. Thus from the simple sensor to alarm technology, leak detection services experienced many hiccups to provide the water leak detection services in an effective way. Water leak detection helps in saving our most precious element of water while reducing the cost of your water bills. Water is the most important for living for all the mankind as well as for all the living beings around the world. it is estimated that 30% of water is leaking worldwide from the underground pipes. 

There are many instruments for leak detection services in Australia. With the help of these instruments, the exact pinpoint of the leakage can be found. Tracing of loaded and dead cables, metal and non-metal pipelines, accurate temperature and humidity measures can be found out with the help of leak detection instruments. Leak detection services in Australia are like an insurance policy, as we spent little money to protect ourselves and our houses. It helps you to reduce the cost of water expenses and give you profit. It becomes very hard to manage leak issues occurring due to the faults in your pipelines. There are many companies in Australia which will help you to find out hidden and suspicious leaks at your home as well as commercial areas. They are specialized in detecting water leaks without digging and damaging your property. This will reduce the cost of your water leak detection expenses.
