How leak detection in Utrecht works without demolition or breaking
At Leak Detection Utrecht, we combine techniques to isolate the cause. These include thermography with a FLIR thermal camera, acoustic listening equipment with geophones, ultrasonic measurements, capacitive and resistive moisture measurements, fluorescein dye tests, smoke tests for roofs and facades, and tracer gas using a forming gas containing five percent hydrogen in nitrogen for micro-leaks. For pipes, we perform pressure tests and logging; for floors and walls, we apply endoscopy using compact cameras from manufacturers such as Ridgid. Our approach is entirely non-destructive and aimed at maximum certainty with minimal disruption. Read more about leak detection without heels.
