PVC Leak Detection
Hello, I’m Philip from Pegasus Leak Detection. PVC leak detection presents unique challenges, but at Pegasus Leak Detection, I am equipped with advanced technology and specialized methods to effectively locate and address PVC leaks.
Why is PVC Leak Detection Unique?
PVC pipes are widely used due to their durability and resistance to corrosion. However, detecting leaks in PVC pipes can be particularly challenging for several reasons:
Non-Traceable with Standard Locators: Unlike metallic pipes, PVC cannot be traced using standard utility locators. This makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the pipes underground.
Low Noise Transmission: PVC leaks produce less noise compared to leaks in metallic pipes. Plastic does not transmit sound as effectively, making it harder to detect leaks using traditional acoustic methods.
Pipe and Leak Identification Issues: The most basic method to locate an underground leak involves identifying the pipe, locating it underground, and listening for the leak. For PVC pipes, both locating and listening are significant challenges.
Advanced PVC Leak Detection Methods
Traceable Line Insertion
I use a traceable line that can be inserted into the PVC pipe. This allows me to accurately locate the pipe’s position underground, even though it is not detectable by standard locators.
Pulsating Device
I also utilize a pulsating device that can help locate PVC pipes. This innovative tool sends a pulsating signal through the pipe, making it easier to identify the pipe’s location.
Tracer Gas Method
In addition to the above methods, I employ the tracer gas method. This involves introducing a safe tracer gas into the pipe and using specialized equipment to detect the presence of gas at the surface, indicating the location of the leak.
