LEAK REPAIR Auckland

Don’t Rush Into Repairs: Pinpoint the Leak First

If you suspect a water or gas leak, don’t start cutting concrete, opening walls, or digging trenches right away. Modern leak detection technology allows you to accurately locate leaks before any invasive work begins, saving you significant time and money. Euro Plumbing specializes in advanced, non-destructive leak detection services—ensuring repairs are targeted and cost-effective.

Advanced Leak Detection Methods

Euro Plumbing employs a range of cutting-edge technologies to pinpoint leaks with precision:

• Acoustic Leak Detection:
  Using highly sensitive ground and pipe microphones, we listen for the unique sounds generated by pressurized water escaping from pipes. These acoustic sensors can detect leaks even underground or behind walls, allowing for rapid, non-invasive identification of the problem area. Devices like the LD6000 combine acoustic detection, trace gas detection, and pipe tracing, making them ideal for both residential and complex industrial applications. 

• Hydrogen Gas Detection:
  For challenging cases, we use trace gas methods with a safe 95/5 nitrogen-hydrogen mix. The LD6000’s hydrogen sensor can detect even the smallest leaks, including those in non-metallic pipes or sensitive environments.

• Pulse Wave Generator:
  This technology sends pressure pulses through pipes, which can be detected acoustically over distances up to 600 meters. It is especially effective for mapping and verifying pipe networks, including plastic pipes buried up to two meters deep.

• Smart Sensors & AI:
  The latest advances integrate AI, IoT, and predictive analytics. Smart water meters and machine learning algorithms can monitor real-time data, predict leak-prone areas, and provide early warnings—helping prevent major damage before it occurs.
