Cape Town Leak Detection and Plumbing employs state-of-the-art technology to detect and locate leaks efficiently, fast, and cost-effectively.

Our expert teams accurately and reliably diagnose and repair any leaks.

Expert Leak Detection Methods

Thermal Imaging

An infrared camera picks up slight temperature and moisture differences to show the location of leaks unnoticeable by the naked eye. It can be used in a series of tests to confirm findings or to pinpoint areas of water ingress or leaks.

Gas Leak Detection

Tracer gas is injected under pressure into water pipes to replace any existing water. This tracer gas is then detected with a high-precision scientific instrument that measures in parts per million, allowing our technicians to identify even the smallest, otherwise undetectable leaks with accuracy.

Digital Electro-Acoustic Leak Detection

A highly sensitive probe connected to a microphone captures noise readings, which our trained operators expertly interpret to locate various types of leaks around surface pipes, connections, valves, and hydrants.

Drain Camera Inspections

High-resolution drain cameras detect problems by obtaining a visual of the pipe's internal diameter. The footage can show obstructions, roots intrusion, pipe settlement or movement, cross connections, and other problems in persistent or reoccurring drain blockages not identifiable from the surface. This technology allows for accurate assessments to determine the precise location and origin of drainage problems, preventing unnecessary and inaccurate excavation.

Pipe Tracing and Locating

A water pipe detector locates concealed metallic pipes in walls, ceilings, and floors as well as underground before construction or excavation to prevent unnecessary digging or damages to vital water reticulation systems.

Plumbing Repairs

Our experts can fix any detected leaks and restore your plumbing system to full functionality.

Water Leak Reporting and Prevention

After completing diagnostics and repairs, our specialists provide a detailed report of the leak or burst pipe and resultant damages, which must be submitted to the insurance for recovery of associated costs. Furthermore, we offer proactive advice and installations to prevent future leaks.
