DAMP & Leak Detection

Visual Inspection and Moisture Testing:
- Damp and leak detection often begins with a visual inspection of areas prone to moisture intrusion, such as basements, attics, bathrooms, and around windows and doors.
- Heating engineers or property inspectors may use moisture meters or thermal imaging cameras to identify areas of elevated moisture levels, indicating potential leaks or dampness.
- Signs of dampness, such as water stains, mold growth, musty odors, or peeling paint, are carefully examined to pinpoint the source of moisture ingress.
Pressure Testing and Leak Tracing:
- To detect hidden leaks in plumbing systems, pressure testing may be conducted by heating engineers or plumbing professionals.
- Pressure testing involves pressurizing the plumbing system and monitoring for pressure drops, which indicate the presence of leaks.
- Leak tracing techniques, such as acoustic detection, dye testing, or infrared thermography, may also be employed to locate hidden leaks in pipes, joints, or fittings.
