I hope you find this video useful. It was my first attempt at TH-cam fame. Please don't hesitate to post any questions as well as comments as we do monitor this video. Thanks
Wow! Its gave me an idea how find leaks. We have a problem in home that's the reason I am search videos about leak detection. Thank you for make this video.
Thank you sir for the reply. Here in N. Florida the typical fee is $350.00 for an electronic leak detection. And plumbers that I know are charging $500.00 for the same locate in S. Florida.
Thank you Mr. Fuller for your videos and responses. In your video it is apparent that you have the Sub surface electronic leak detection equipment. How do you like that brand? I have that brand and am really pleased with it. I have the LD-12.
Mr. Fuller, nice job on how to locate slab leaks. I'm a licensed master plumber in Florida who has recently purchased the sub surface LD 12. I'm new to electronic leak detection. My first job missed the mark by about 8 feet. I have a question, by introducing air to the water piping, does that enable easier detection? I notice that the water leak in a copper line makes noise almost all over the house. I was detecting sound over 10 feet away from the actual leak, and when I listened to the angle stops under the lavatory sink, the noise was rather loud. Apparently leaks in copper lines reverberate all throughout the house.
The trick is to keep the air pressure as low and quiet as possible. Also don't be fooled by air moving through a low spot in the pipe. This can sound similar to the bubbling from the leak.
Is a warm spot in the floor always a sign of a leak? We just bought a house and a hydrostatic test was done. The drains were replaced from cast iron to PVC. We cannot find any visible spots of water. The outside water meter needle is steady and will occasionally move forward and a little back with all the valves in the house closed. In your professional opinion can it still be a leak? Sections of the floor in the living space are warm.
@@TheConandj the plumbers came out and could not find a leak. They said the pipe is just giving off some heat, the house is single floor on slab. Looks like the plumbing is not far off from the floor. You can go out and check your city water meter see if the needle is moving when no water is running. If the needle is moving around then you might have a leak otherwise should not be an issue.
Hi, I have leak in my PPR pipe used for Central heating under the floor ( ground floor) my question is how deep in the ground floor can check leak with the infrared camera ..
electrolysis. it’s a hole on copper pipe . copper is a sensitive metal it gets eaten up . it cannot touch other metals except brass . they lay them on the rebar when the house is built and they don’t sleeve it right and ends up touching the rebar and in due time that’s what happens
nice job! do you guys have any business abroad? like in china? i'm suffering weak water leaking on my bedroom walls, and i can't find where it is leaking. its very annoying.
Hi 梁梁梁, We are business based in Santa Barbara, California, USA. We are sorry to say that we don't do any leak detection service outside the USA. If you can describe you problem in more details, we may be able to give you some information and tips how to fix it.
Trifco Studio Do you have any leak detection services in the Chicago suburbs? I have a leak in the corner of my basement wall. I’m having it cut open to replace the water/mold damaged drywall. The contractor that my insurance company sent is just going to cut it out and wait for it to rain to see where the water is coming from. It’s really inconvenient to have my repairs depend on the weather. I’d would love to hire you guys if you have services in Park Ridge, Illinois.
Nice job. I live in Oklahoma city . And I.have been thinking about starting a similar business Here. I am going to buy the Fisher xlt 30 . Any recommendations on a good school .thank you
Mr. Fuller, I would like to pose another question to you sir; do you utilize the infra red camera on suspected cold water leaks? Or hot only? I just added the FLIR 2 infra red camera to my arsenal and I'm curious if it can be used on cold piping also. Thank you.

Waste of time and money bro, and you know it. Second leak in a 24” area of pipe - it showed up on a heat scan - it’s green copper - all your razzle dazzle stuff dose not permanently fix the problem. And you could care less. Now if you had the homeowner on video and announcing that they understand all options available, and saying that prior to your service that this is the option they wish - now that’s how it’s done.
Excellent video, precise, informative. Nice job!

Thomas Cudahey look at Hydroscout in Florida they are great
I believe it’s better to re route the pipe , it’s deteriorating and will eventually have more leaks . As u can see from previous repair .
I works only for hot water leaks and not for cold water?
Good job, guys
Thanks for posting! Informative!
what model
was the hand held flir detector?

Very nice video. Can this be use on AC refrigerant pipes under slab or in the walls?
Will that pipe locator find plastic lines?
Really cool Gear, Good job

Hey T, Did you eventually figure out to do a slab leak detection? Nick
@@nicolaszanetti8745 Lol
How i can buy this tool?
Where can buy those tools
Do I need to drain the pipe system before applying tracer gas?
There is no need to drain the pipe. The pressurized air (tracer gas) will force the water out through the leak location.
Great video
Where can buy it I been struggling to order it can't fine in stores in uk

Hi! Were you able to identify the issue that you had? I might be in similar situation and wonder how you were able to resolve your issue.

T Cudahey
Leak detections are typically $225-$350.
What caused that hole like that?
Cheap stuff
electrolysis. it’s a hole on copper pipe . copper is a sensitive metal it gets eaten up . it cannot touch other metals except brass . they lay them on the rebar when the house is built and they don’t sleeve it right and ends up touching the rebar and in due time that’s what happens
what does it cost to do that?
