Designed for effective water pipe leak detection
Gas tracing is often used to detect water pipe leaks, for example from a central heating system. The suspected water pipes are drained and a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gas is pumped at pressure through the pipe system. Gas will escape at the point of the leak and will then pass through the surrounding walls or floors. Sensitive gas detectors will then pinpoint the source of the gas and thus your leak.

When would an endoscopic camera be used?
We may recommend the use of an endoscopic camera where the area of a leak has been determined, warrants further investigation but is not easily accessible. Endoscopic cameras provide a more convenient way to locate a hidden water leak and survey the damage it has caused.
Detecting additional water leaks with endoscopic cameras
Sometimes we may suspect that an area has multiple water leaks. Other technologies may pinpoint the area of a leak but may not identify multiple water leaks. Endoscopic cameras allow us to conduct a visual survey of a suspected leak area, whilst causing minimal damage.
Will this cause additional damage to my home?
Endoscopic cameras are not strictly non-invasive, as they require a small hole to be drilled into the area before the camera can be inserted. However endoscopic cameras greatly reduce the amount of damage that is done to your home in order to examine a leak.
