Author: crishmart | Posted: 02.01.2012

Water leak detection can be very tricky which is why you will often need to employ specialist leak detection services to trace the source of the leak.

Water pipes are often buried deep withing solid floors, under floorboards, within cavities and are often inaccessible without major excavation.

When you have a water leak or consistently damp areas on ceilings or walls, early water leak detection is crucial to avoid major disruption and secondary damage to a buildings strucure and its contents.. So, what should you do to start the process for detecting this leak ?

First Steps to water leak detection

As soon as you find or suspect a hidden water leak, you should do the following:

• Turn off the main supply of water to stop any flow of new water

• Clean up any existing puddles of water

• Use large buckets to catch the leaking water to reduce the risk of in-house flooding and help prevent further damage

• Open doors and windows of the building for ventilation, to control the humidity and reduce secondary damage

• Let cold air blow through the room

• Check your insurance policy, particularly any clauses relating to ‘escape of water’, to see whether and how you are covered in the event of a water leak.

Options for water leak detection and remedial action:

Having gone through the checklist above, if you still have water coming through, or it is causing ongoing damage, you will need to act quickly. After contacting your insurers, you will need either an emergency plumbing service which has access to leak detection equipment, or a specialist leak detection service.like Rainbow International, use a variety of state of the art techniques, including thermal imaging, acoustic testing and in some cases, tracer gases, to identify the source of water leaks, however hidden the cause.
