Leak detection
Many people still associate leak detection with time-consuming chiselling work. As every type of water damage is different, the procedure cannot be generalised. Every burst pipe or defect, no matter how small, has a different damage pattern.
In many cases, leaks can be located quickly with low-destructive to non-destructive leak detection.
Regardless of the type of burst pipe, the first step is to carry out a visual inspection in conjunction with a moisture measurement. This procedure makes it possible to determine the extent to which the moisture has spread in the building structure and possibly narrow down the cause of the damage.
If the damaged area can be localised in the course of the moisture measurement, it then becomes clear whether the assumption is a fresh water pipe, heating pipe, waste water or even structural defects. In order to pinpoint the leak as precisely as possible, Ortungstechnik Krämer uses non-destructive leak detection methods such as
- Visual inspection / condition analysis
- Moisture measurement
- Pressure tests
- Electroacoustic methods
- Ultrasonic measurement technology
- Forming gas process
- Infrared thermography
- Computer - Correlation
- Endoscopy
- Pipe camera
- UV colourants
In practice, leak detection is even more complex in many cases. Experience in the application of measuring techniques and specialised know-how are essential for successful detection.
Following the localisation, we will send you an order documentation consisting of an inspection report with photo documentation and a sketch in which the damaged areas are marked in colour.
