Underfloor Heating Leak Detection Services in L1

Underfloor heating has got to be one of the best inventions of all time. There is something luxurious about jumping out of bed on a cold morning onto a warm floor. Underfloor heating has experienced exponential growth in popularity in recent years, and it is easy to see why. There is, however, one potential downside to underground heating, and that is when or if the system develops some type of leak.

A Leak In Your Underfloor Heating Could be Very Expensive

Underfloor heating involves running water through a pipe network under the floor, and there is always a potential risk of a leak developing. When this happens, the problem is not so much fixing the leak but finding it in the first place and as quickly as possible. The last thing you want to happen to your expensive wooden floor is for it to become irreparably damaged by damp and moisture from a leaking pipe. The key to underfloor heating leak detection is identifying the exact source of the leak without lifting the entire floor. This causes unnecessary delay and expense and should be avoided wherever possible.

How Does Underfloor Heating Leak Detection Work?

There is a lot of science, technology, and expertise involved in the leak detection industry, which is why it is a specialist area that the majority of general plumbers do not get involved with. The specialist equipment that is required is expensive and requires knowledge that has been built up over many years. When it comes to leak detection, ensure that you are dealing with a specialist company such as ADI Leak Detection.

At ADI Leak Detection, we use a range of different tools and equipment depending on the specific situation and circumstances. Some of the tools we use are exclusive to us, as we developed them in our own research facilities. When it comes to underfloor heating leak detection, the main tools we utilise include

Acoustic Listening Devices – These specialist devices can detect the sound of a water leak up to 2.5 metres below ground. These listening devices are among the most common methods we utilise for underfloor heating leaks. They enable us to identify the exact site of the leak with pinpoint accuracy, which means we only need to lift the flooring in the close vicinity of the leak.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Our thermal imaging cameras allow us to search for and locate the leaks under your flooring visually. The principle is the same if you have ever watched a police chase using the helicopter and their thermal imaging camera. When the water is leaking, there is a temperature difference, which is very obvious on our cameras.

Tracer Gases – In certain circumstances, we force a special mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen into your pipework. Because this gas is lighter than the water, it actively seeks out the weakest point in the system, which is inevitably the source of the leak. The gas mixture we use has a distinctive smell that our specialist devices can detect, enabling our engineers to locate the source of the leak.

ADI have discovered leaks that other companies have been trying to find for years. Our specialist technicians are obsessed with finding your leak, and they hate to be beaten. If you have any concerns about an underfloor heating leak, then do not delay contact ADI today.
