The Services We Provide
DASA offers a range of cutting-edge detection services to quickly identify and resolve all types of leaks for both residential and commercial properties. Here’s an overview of the primary techniques we use to detect leaks effectively:
Tracer Gas Detection
Tracer gas leak detection is a highly effective method for locating hard to find leaks. By introducing a non-toxic, non-corrosive tracer gas (5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen) into the system, the gas escapes through leaks and is detected by our censoring equipment. This method offers precise detection, even in complex systems with multiple leak points, and can be used both indoors and outdoors. It is a versatile and reliable solution for various industries and environments, ensuring accurate and non-invasive detection.
Infrared Detection
Infrared leak detection uses thermal imaging technology to locate leaks by detecting temperature differences. Leaks often cause a change in the surrounding temperature, creating a thermal signature that can be captured by infrared cameras. This method is especially useful in industries like oil, gas, HVAC, and chemical manufacturing, where detecting leaks promptly is crucial for safety and environmental protection. The infrared camera scans the area, and the resulting thermal patterns are analysed to pinpoint the exact location of the leak, making it a fast, non-invasive and highly accurate solution.
Thermal Imagery Detection
Similarly, thermal imagery leak detection utilises advanced thermal cameras to detect hidden leaks by identifying temperature difference between leaking substances and their surroundings. When a leak occurs, the substance usually has a distinct temperature compared to the environment, creating visible heat patterns. These patterns, known as thermograms, are captured by infrared sensors in the camera and analysed to pinpoint the leak’s exact location. This non-invasive method is highly effective for identifying leaks in hard to reach areas and is used across various industries, including plumbing, oil and gas.
Acoustic Detection
Acoustic leak detection identifies leaks by analysing the sound waves produced when fluids or gases escape from pressurised systems. Specialised microphones or sensors detect these vibrations and acoustic waves, which are then processed to locate and assess the severity of the leak. This method is particularly effective for pipelines, tanks, and other pressurised systems, offering a non-invasive and precise way to pinpoint leaks. With advanced technology and algorithms, acoustic detection ensures quick and efficient solutions, reducing downtime and potential damage.
Water Detection
Traditional water detection methods are complemented by these advanced technologies to ensure that leaks are identified early. Our experts use a combination of these tools to determine whether a leak is caused by damaged pipes, plumbing systems, or even external factors like weather or construction issues.
