Water leak detection company in Riyadh Water leaking into the ground has one thing in common with dry rot: when you notice it, the damage is already considerable.
In addition, it often comes from a pipe that you do not even suspect the existence. So how do you detect a buried water leak?
Water leak detection company in Riyadh A bigger problem than you think
When a pipe passing through a wall in your building is pierced, the result is immediate. A water stain appears almost instantly on the wall and you must act on it before the damage is too great.
In the case of a buried leak, it is more delicate. If the pipe is outside your building, the water will have to rise to the surface for you to notice it… provided you are attentive.
Ditto if the pipe passes under your building. Unless you have an eye on your meter, you’ll have to wait for the water to come up to the walls and soak them before you notice the leak. In any case, it will be too late: the water will have already had time to soak the soil deeply and the drying will take a very long time.
How do I check for water leaks in the ground?
It is almost impossible to know where the pipe is drilled. Only professionals are able to locate the leak with precision.
There are several methods:
- Tracer gas: a gas lighter than air is injected into your pipeline. When it gets to the location of the leak, it escapes from the pipe. To detect the precise location, the technician uses a suction probe.
- Listening to the pipes: the leak is identified using a microphone that records the noise from your pipe. In a healthy pipe, the wave propagates at a constant speed. The noise is therefore uniform. The leak is identified when there is a variation in speed, and therefore a dissonance.
- Thermal or video camera: a camera is inserted into your pipe and the leak will be identified, either by the thermal signature of the escaping water, or by simple visual examination of the interior walls.
