Tracer Gas Detection

Fast, Safe & Reliable Leak Detection in Melbourne

Tracer Gas Detection is a unique method of finding leaks that was pioneered by The Leak Detector. Over twenty years ago, our technicians developed this method when it was challenging to find the source of a gas leak. We continue to use this method today for tracing hard to find leaks of any kind.

How Does Tracer Gas Detection Work?

To identify leaks in your pipework or plumbing, be it gas or water, we pressurise the pipeline using a specific gas and hydrogen. By forcing gas through the pipe network, we can locate the leak with the aid of sensitive equipment that traces the gas. In Water Pipes, leaks can also be identified through bubbles at the leak sites.
