Infra-red photography highlights the warmer and the colder surface areas. As a water leak detection Cape Town specialist we use thermal imaging technology to establish the source of many problems and in many applications where a difference in heat will give an accurate indication to a potential water leak source. With the gas leak detection technique, a non-toxic, water insoluble and lighter-than-air gas, such as helium or hydrogen, is injected into an isolated segment of a water pipe. The tracer gas escapes at a leak opening and then, being lighter than air, permeates to the surface through the soil and pavement. The leak is located by scanning the ground surface directly above the pipe with a highly sensitive gas detector. There are several factors that affect the loudness and the frequency range of the sounds made by water leaks transmitted on the pipes and transmitted to the surface of the ground: Water pressure in the pipe Pipe material and pipe diameter Soil type and soil compaction Depth of soil over the pipe Surface cover: grass, loose soil, asphalt, concrete slab, etc.
