Witnessing spiking energy bills, slow water flow, or a constant dripping sound from an undetectable source in your building? An electronic leak detection (ELD) can help you solve your problems. An electronic leak detector makes it easier to identify the source of a leak when it is not visible.
Underground water leaks, gas leaks, and leaks hidden beneath concrete slabs can be detected using electronic leak detection method. Employing advanced detecting equipment is crucial for accurate detection and appropriate rectification.

Electronic leak detection is used for underground leaks when you don’t know exactly where they are. We implement the most advanced equipment available to pinpoint the exact location of your leak. This test method is useful in a number of situations including:
- Shower Pan and Bottom Testing – We test the shower pan by placing a test ball just under the shower drain riser. We fill the pan with water and observe it for twenty minutes. If the water level drops, the leak is probably in the shower pan. Sometimes we also inject dye into the corners, cracks, and crevices to see if there are leaks.
To test for a leak in the shower bottom, we insert a two-inch ball into the shower drain. Next, we make a test mark about two inches above the drain grate. We then fill the shower base to the test mark and, again, observe it for twenty minutes. In addition to observing the level, we can also use dye to detect leaks.
- Tub-Shower Riser Pressure Test – We remove the showerhead and connect a pressure gauge to the bib after all the air is cleared out of the riser. Next, we turn the hose bib to the on position and pressurize the test gauge between the shower riser and the valve body. We then turn the shower valve off and observe the gauge for twenty minutes. Sometimes we also use an electrical acoustic test that allows us to hear leaks in the wall and pipes.
Gas Leak Detection

When Early Leak Detection is Crucial, Trust the ELD Experts
ELD is invaluable because of its ability to help identify sources of leaks immediately. You do not have to watch your property being ripped apart in a trial-and-error to find the leak.
Electronic leak detection is popular for the accuracy with which it helps locate the leak, even a pinhole-sized leak. In addition, an electronic leak detector is efficient on all types of surfaces - new, old, dry, wet, horizontal, or vertical.
An ELD can also alert you to aging or poorly-installed pipelines. Our California pipe lining experts rectify leaks before it leads to expensive repairs. If our pipe inspection reveals a need for pipeline replacement, then we employ advanced methods such as trenchless pipelining.
