Using the principles of sound, a leak detection machine finds leaks in water systems, toilets, drains, industrial pipes, steam pipes, oil pipes and other pipes transporting liquids or gasses. CPLD uses a variety of detection methods including electronic, GPR, video crawlers, concrete scanning and more. For more info about Leak Detection services form CPL Detections, click here

Electronic leak detection equipment amplifies the sound of the moving water, using microphones, digital amplifiers and filters, allowing the leaking pipe to be identified. Once the leaking line is identified then the pressure in the line can be altered to create a specific sound that the technician uses to pinpoint the leak. A CPLD technician will assess all information regarding where a potential leak may be happening and use an electronic leak detector, line tracing equipment, camera inspection, and static pressure testing to locate the specific source of the leak. This process is used for all types of plumbing systems, under concrete slabs, main water lines, swimming pool plumbing systems, and others. As long as a system can be isolated and pressure tested, leaks can be located using electronic detectors. The more accurately a leak can be pinpointed, the less damage to access the leak, saving time and money.

A residential video sewer inspection can cost $100-$800, but averages about $250-$500, depending on the length of the pipes, local rates, if the inspection is being done in conjunction with other work or as a separate job, and whether the images are just sent to a monitor or are recorded for later viewing. A typical sewer camera inspection costs $150 for a residential sewer lateral inspection, and most video inspections are completed within one hour (sewer line inspection cost varies if more time is required). The $150 fee includes all set-up, inspection and clean-up time, and time for you to talk to our knowledgeable service technician and get direct answers to your plumbing concerns. Plus, the paid sewer camera inspection fee will be credited towards the replacement of your sewer lateral. There are times a sewer lateral inspection may cost more. If there is no accessible clean out, we may need to remove a toilet, complete the camera inspection, and reinstall the toilet, and for that we charge another $150.

Clay pipes can last between 50 to 60 years. PVC pipes have been designed to last for longer. They can last for more than 100 years. Despite the durability, sewer pipes are bound to wear out with time. Even though they have been designed to be used for a particular period, it does not necessarily mean that they will. Thus, it is vital to look out for warning signs of a broken down sewer. Such signs include foul smell and strange gurgling sounds. When you notice such, contact an expert immediately.

Yes, but in the case of a potential gas leak, your single best detector is your own nose. You can supplement your power of smell with a natural gas alarm, many of which will also test for propane and carbon monoxide
