Hidden pipe leak detection may sound invasive, but we aim to cause as little property damage and disruption as possible. Our technicians use thermal imaging and pressure testing tools to pinpoint leaks without ripping your property apart.
We employ isolated testing methods for multi-tenant buildings, and can find those annoying leaks whether they’re under slabs, in your walls, or in your ceiling.
Detection Methods We Use
Leak detection for businesses requires a professional and delicate approach, with technicians who always consider the needs of the business, never cause unnecessary property damage, and don’t get in the way of customers and employees. At Mr. Rooter®, we use various high-tech tools to quickly pinpoint hidden leaks without breaking any of these rules:
- Acoustic listening equipment to accurately pinpoint the distinctive sounds created by leaking pipes.
- Thermal imaging and infrared scanning to detect temperature changes caused by escaping fluids.
- Moisture meters to check moisture content and find hidden leaks in floors, walls, and ceilings.
- Pressure drop testing to see which pipes record a notable drop in pressure, often caused by leaks.
Common Commercial Leak Sources
We have been offering commercial water leak detection services for many years, and have repaired leaks in all types of pipes. Aging and corroded pipes are more prone to cracks and leaks, but even relatively new PEX and copper pipes can have pinhole leaks if they weren’t properly fitted.
Extremely cold temperatures, soil movement, root intrusion, and even earthquakes can also damage piping, and we’re regularly called out to fix leaks resulting from failed valves and fittings.
We’ll only know the cause when we conduct an initial assessment, so call Mr. Rooter® today for hidden pipe leak detection in Norfolk, VA.
