Electronic Leak Detection Machine
An electronic leak detection machine finds leaks in water systems, drains, toilets, and other pipes transporting liquids. The principle of sound is what is used to detect leaks in pipes when using an electronic leak detector. If a sound registers on the machine, it is transmitted to the system at a higher frequency. The amplified leak is then detected and can be attended to immediately following the detection.
- Dishwasher – connection to sink, baseboard and floor
- Refrigerator – hose to icemaker, connections and line
- Washing Machine – hoses
- Sinks – look in cabinets under sinks, feel pipes
- Water Heater – tank exterior, below unit
- Bathtubs and Toilets – floor, caulking and seals
- It sounds like a toilet running but your toilet isn’t running
- Dank odors that seem to originate from floors or walls
- Your water bill increases suddenly or even gradually
- Warm spots on your floor (more evident in homes built on slabs)
- Shut down everything in your house that uses water – appliances, toilets, sprinklers, everything.
- Read your water meter. Read it again in a couple of hours.
- If your meter has moved, you have a leak.
Our plumbing experts can attend to any leaks reported through the machine and get you back to normal!
