Leaky leaks in the home plumbing system can be one of the most frustrating of all home repair problems to deal with. Apart from damaging your home and driving up your water bill, trying to detect the source of the leaks can be an immensely frustrating activity.

Fortunately for homeowners, there are professional plumbing services companies like ADI which specialise in the detection and repair of even the leakiest of leaks in a timely and cost effective manner.

ADI, along with other top plumbing services organisations, leverages the major technological improvements of recent years in order to combat leaks in household plumbing systems all over the greater London area. Some of the technology which is available to plumbers to make them more effective than ever before includes thermal imaging cameras and acoustic scanners.

Thermal imaging cameras allow the user to detect slight changes in heat, even through objects which cannot be penetrated by visible light. This technology is perfect for detecting leaky leaks in the home plumbing system, because a leak will show a very typical heat pattern, particularly when its hidden behind a wall in your home.

The source of the leak will be much hotter or colder than the surrounding area, and the difference in temperature will radiate out from the source. This specific pattern almost always indicates a leak in the home plumbing system.

Acoustic scanner, on the other hand, are ideal for detecting leaky leaks that are buried far underground, even out of the reach of thermal scanners. They work much like the echolocation of a bat, by sending out an audio signal and building an image based on the way the sound returns. A burst pipe, even when buried underground, will send back an irregular signal and indicate to the plumber that the leak has been detected.
