Hi Guys' I'm thinking of getting into the water leak detection business, What leak detection equipment you would recommend? And training etc.
Thanks.
 
have previously traced a two year old leak with a damp meter just kept probing till we found the dampest patch.

and now wait for the childish comments about a damp patch................................(make em good)
 
Acoustic testing, tracer gas and thermal imaging are the commonly used techniques nowadays. At the minute I am doing a degree in building surveying and this is the area of study for my dissertation

Are you documenting how it's actually done due to cost constraints or how mfrs tell you their equipment should be used ? Domestic is a very different market to commercial, as I'm sure u will already understand. Where are u studying?
 
Hi ermitrude, I'm looking at the manufacturers guidance but also trying to organise a few companies who I can shadow to see the methods in action. I'm trying to establish what is the best method and whether the newer methods are any better than the established plumber led approach such as pressure testing or gut instinct. I'm studying through the college of estate management at reading university.
 
Hi guys, instead of opening a new post which I might try in a bit. Has anyone got any info on this? Someone recommended I install water leak detection equipment on one of my more sorry properties when I was gutting it out to cut down the potential of further damage down the line, but don't know too much about it. Insight please. Good companies, leading products etc?
