Water Leak Detection Pretoria

What Is Water Leak Detection?

Water leak detection is the process of locating hidden water leaks in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems without unnecessary digging or damage.

At Source Leak Detection advanced acoustic listening devices, pressure testing, tracer gas technology, and thermal detection equipment are used to pinpoint leaks accurately.

Common signs of hidden water leaks:

  • Unusually high water bills
  • Damp walls or ceilings
  • Wet patches in the garden
  • Low water pressure
  • Constant sound of running water
  • Cracks in walls or paving
  • Mould or mildew smells
