Why Tracer Gas Leak Detection Is the Gold Standard for Hidden Water Leaks

When it comes to finding concealed water leaks, tracer gas leak detection stands above older methods like thermal imaging or acoustic testing. At Plumbing Compliance Solutions, we use tracer gas to identify even the smallest leaks without damaging your property.

The process involves injecting a safe, non-toxic gas mixture into the pipes. Because the gas is lighter than air, it escapes through even the tiniest cracks, allowing us to pinpoint leaks with unmatched accuracy. This is particularly helpful in multi-storey buildings, bathroom walls, or concealed pipe systems.

Not only is this method non-invasive, it’s also the preferred standard for creating high-quality insurance plumbing reports and VCAT-compliant documentation.
