What leak detection equipment do RTL’s Plumbers use?

As well as CCTV drain cameras, we have acoustic listening devices which detect precisely where even the smallest leak is coming from. Additionally, we have thermal imaging cameras to detect those hard to source shower leaks that can often go undiagnosed for years.

Common causes of water leaks

  • ​Pipe age and subsequent corrosion or rusting
  • Ground movement
  • Burst pipe
  • Leaking joints
  • Tree roots
  • Water hammer

Signs of a water leak

  • Damp spots on walls and floors.
  • Unexplained increase in water bill.
  • A patch of garden is growing quicker than the other area, or is appearing greener.
  • Water meter ticking over, even when all appliances are switched off or not in use.

Hidden underground leaks

Most water leaks are hidden, often going unnoticed until the higher than normal water bill arrives, water starts pooling or even worse, a plumbing disaster occurs. Water leaks occurring under concrete slabs, bitumen driveways or in the garden are an absolute nuisance. Rather than mindlessly digging up the area to find the leak, we are able to locate the leak quickly and precisely using the latest technology.

Fixing the water leak

Our qualified team of Plumbers are experienced in not just locating the leak but are also able to fix the leaks – whether underground or in a wall, we’ve seen it all!
