With water prices always rising and leaks a recurring problem in homes and businesses across Amman, smart technical solutions for early leak detection are now essential. In this updated guide from Al Tamayuz, we look at the best ways to detect water leaks and the latest devices that provide lasting solutions without breaking walls or floors.
Why are water leaks a worry for every home in Amman?
The experience of many families in Amman shows that hidden leaks consume large amounts of water without the owners knowing, leading to high bills and serious structural damage. The causes are often ageing infrastructure, which is why regular water pressure testing matters to confirm the pipes are sound and to avoid the sudden causes of a high water bill.
The best ways to detect leaks without breaking
Thanks to modern technology, water leak detection specialists in Amman and Jordan can locate the fault with great precision using:
1. Thermal imaging
This technique uses infrared imaging to detect small temperature differences behind walls. Thermal cameras help map the path of the leaking water and locate the burst point precisely, without random breaking.
2. Smart acoustic leak detectors
These devices amplify the sound of water flowing inside the pipes. Technicians use highly sensitive headphones to pick up the “sound of the leak”, even deep underground.
3. Tank leak detection
Tanks need a special inspection to make sure there are no cracks in the concrete structure. We provide tank leak detection with water sensors to make sure no stored water is wasted.
Frequently asked questions about leak detection
- Can leaks be found in plastic pipes? Yes. Modern devices such as acoustic detectors and tracer gas can locate leaks in every type of pipe.
- What is the first sign of a leak? An unexplained rise in the water bill and a humming sound in the pipes at night.
- Is the inspection expensive? On the contrary — an early inspection can save you up to 50% of the cost of breaking tiles and restoring them.
Golden tips to protect your home from damp and leaks
- Watch the meter: close all the valves and see whether the meter moves.
- Inspect regularly: have a specialist company carry out an annual inspection.
- Insulate your roof: good waterproofing reduces the chance of water getting in.
