Our detection services

hydrogen gas

A hydrogen leak detector allows our technicians to find leaks using hydrogen as the tracer gas. A hydrogen leak detector is made of a built-in pump to analyse the air at the ground's surface or in any volume space, depending on where the probe is directed. It is ideal for tracking leaks in difficult to reach areas, identifying the smallest leaks quickly and safely.

acoustic detection

Our team uses microphones to detect and amplify the noise created by leaks in pressurised pipes. The microphone is either used at the surface level, or is dropped into a manhole, and we use headphones to listen to and isolate the leak tone. Acoustic detection can help easily pinpoint exact locations of suspected leaks and it is a non-invasive and non-destructive technique. This eliminates the need to dig up pipes or damage structures to check the physical characteristics and health of the water pipeline system.

Thermal imaging

There is no practical way to eliminate mold spores in an indoor environment. The best way to control mold growth is to control moisture, which we use thermal imagers to detect. Finding leaks or water damage before mold has a chance to grow and spread can save you time and money. Our technicians can quickly and non-invasively zero in on the probable area to easily identify the anomalies created by evaporative moisture cooling.
