Finding a damp patch on the wall or receiving a massive water bill is every homeowner's nightmare. Until a few years ago, searching for a pipe leak meant breaking floors and walls almost "blindly" until the fault was found, turning the house into an endless construction site.
""Thanks to non-invasive instrumental detection, it is possible to locate 99% of hidden leaks with millimeter precision, saving floors and drastically reducing repair costs.""
Do you have a continuous pressure drop in your boiler or a water meter running for no reason? Don't call the mason before the plumber! pyBIM uses advanced thermal cameras and geophones to track down the problem without any collateral damage.
Today, thanks to technological innovation, detecting water leaks has become an almost surgical operation. You no longer need to demolish entire rooms to find a cracked pipe or a leaking fitting under the screed.
Our Non-Invasive Detection Technologies
To ensure fast, clean, and efficient interventions, we use the latest generation of diagnostic tools:
- Infrared Thermography: Using a professional thermal imaging camera, we can "see" temperature differences through floors and walls. It is the perfect solution to map pipes and find leaks in heating systems or hot water lines.
- Acoustic Geophones: This instrument amplifies the noise generated by pressurized water escaping from a pipe. Working like a highly sensitive medical stethoscope, it allows us to "listen" to the floor and pinpoint the exact location of the fault.
- Tracer Gas: We empty the pipe of water and fill it with a special inert, odorless, and completely safe gas. Using an electronic sensor (sniffer), we detect the exact point where the gas escapes and rises to the surface.
- Video Inspections: Through flexible micro-cameras inserted directly into the drains, we can check the internal condition of the pipes to identify cracks, crushing, or obstructions.
Relying on instrumental detection means saving time, avoiding the stress of unnecessary demolition, and minimizing masonry restoration costs. Once the exact point is found, our team will intervene by breaking and repairing only the single tile affected by the fault!
