BENEFITS OF TRACER GAS WATER LEAK DETECTION IN Midlands
At Trace and Access Experts, we specialise in finding leaks as quickly as possible by utilising a variety of cutting-edge technologies. With the appropriate tools and our tried-and-true procedures, we can be as little invasive as possible—no flooring will be dug up at random! We approach things logically, which has been formed over time by experience.
ABOUT TRACER GAS LEAK DETECTION
Tracer gas is a lighter-than-air gas. At low pressure, it can be injected into an empty pipe and will leak out the pipe in any cracks. After there, it rises directly to the surface, cutting right through any concrete or other typical building material in its path. Once on the surface, our trace and access leak detection experts can use a sensitive gas detector to locate the tracer gas.
The gas is absolutely harmless and doesn’t leave any deposits or residue on the pipes or other nearby materials.

OUR TRACER GAS DETECTION SPECIALISTS USE THIS METHOD
NO DISRUPTION OR MESS
The use of tracer gas is completely non-invasive since, once it has exited the leak's pipe, it passes through practically all construction materials—including concrete, paving slabs, sand, and soil—straight up and may be seen at the surface just above the leak. Naturally, water does not behave in this way and instead has a tendency to spread out both sideways and downwards, making it considerably more difficult to locate the exact leak position and demanding much larger-scale excavation efforts in order to locate the leak itself.
SUPER VERSATILITY
It is possible to employ tracer gas in pipelines of diverse shapes, lengths, and materials. It can cause no harm and leaves no deposits or residues.
TOTALLY SAFE
It’s a completely safe gas to use: non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable and approved for use in drinking water pipes, waste pipes, central heating pipes, rising mains and petroleum pipelines. It poses no environmental risk and dissipates quickly.
EFFECTIVELY EFFICIENT
Our engineers can begin sniffing for escaping gas as soon as tracer gas is introduced once the suspected leaky pipe has been cleared of water. Comparatively speaking to the time-consuming moisture mapping operations that would otherwise be required, it is typically a pretty rapid and pleasant process.
