What is a leak inspection ?

A leak inspection is used to check pipeline systems to determine the presence of water, oil or gas leaks. It aims to find the origin and the causes of leaks and thus to remedy them.

The leak inspection should be carried out by certified plumbers. Failure to perform leak inspections can lead to repetitive work and property damage.

How does leak inspection work?

Nowadays, a leak in the water pipe is searched for and found with the help of state-of-the-art measurement technology. The noise detection device or stethoskos locates the leak in the pipe by frequency analysis. However, the Stethoskos is not the only way to locate the damage.

The following methods are typical for leak location

  • Electroacoustics: The aquaphone records vibrations and locates leaks electroacoustically.
  • Leak detection with the assistance of gas
  • Electronic line measurement: To determine the length and course of the pipeline.
  • Multifunctional measurement technology: Collection of valuable basic information about, for example, the moisture.
  • Pipe cameras for leak detection
  • Endoscopy: The flexible camera head allows accessibility to angled locations
  • Thermography: Detect and repair damage using infrared.

Perform a leak inspection in 4 steps

Hard to locate leaks can lead to flooding, property damage and high damage costs. If leaks are detected at an early stage, considerable water damage can be prevented. Here you will find step-by-step instructions on how to effectively use Lumiform for leakage inspections:

1. Evaluate the property

Ask the person responsible for the exact construction of the property. Check indicators such as a fast counter, a sudden increase in water bill or unusual dripping noises. Carry out a physical inspection of the piping and identify visible traces of possible structural problems and damage.

2. Identify

Find out the exact layout of a property, as well as indicators such as a quick water meter or an overcharge or dripping noise. Depending on the type of leak, identify the exact location, secure the area and close the valve connected to the pipe. Causes for leaks can be blocked pipes, or broken seals, corrosion or even damaged pipe connections. Cause identification using traces should be carried out to avoid extensive damage.

3. Find the cause

Causes for leaks can be blocked pipes or broken seals, corrosion or even damaged pipe connections. The identification of the cause by means of traces should be carried out without fail in order to avoid extensive damage.

4. Create a repair schedule and document the process

Create a repair schedule to adjust the customer to the extent of the work required. The work done should be properly documented to monitor the progress of the repairs.
