Leak detection in Taastrup
Something is happening under the parking lot that no one can see
Imagine a culvert one meter below a parking lot in Taastrup. It has been leaking since spring. The water never sees daylight – it finds the shortest path through the gravel layer to the nearest stormwater pipe and quietly runs away, while the consumption figure grows quarter by quarter.
This is how most leaks behave in an area where asphalt and tiles cover the ground. DWI A / S performs leak detection in Taastrup, precisely because eyes are not enough: We find the leak with measurements, not with a shovel.
Leak detection in Taastrup – when the numbers say one thing and the surface says nothing
Taastrup is characterized by large commercial and logistics areas, and in these types of properties, a task often starts in the spreadsheet: The main meter shows more than the secondary meters can explain, and the difference must be found somewhere in the internal pipes. We trace it – from the main meter to the building – and identify the point where the water leaves the system.
Housing companies use us in the same way when a department's consumption goes up for no apparent reason. And if it goes badly – a water leak in the basement – the emergency number is +45 70 23 98 98 the fastest way to help.
Leak detection in Taastrup for supplies and waterworks
In the public network we work differently: Here, leak detection about getting ahead of leaks instead of waiting for them. We inspect supply zones according to an agreed schedule and locate leaks while they are still small. Many choose to schedule inspections into the operating calendar so that the network is always checked within a manageable period.
How we choose a method for leak detection in Taastrup
Can the leak be heard? And do we know where the pipe is? The answers govern all practical matters. Audible leaks are located acoustically and determined by correlation, where the arrival time of the sound at two measurement points calculates the position. Silent leaks call for tracer gas: a harmless gas in the pipe that detectors capture on the surface, regardless of how thick a layer of asphalt lies in between.
If the pipe route itself is uncertain – and this is often the case on older commercial properties – wire search in advance so that the measurements are linked to the correct pipe from the start.
What a year of leaks costs
The leak from the example at the top of the page would have sent large amounts of water beyond any billing before anyone suspected. For a utility, the loss is called NRW and must be explained in the accounts; for a property owner, it is a water bill that just keeps growing. Common to both: The sooner the location is known, the smaller both the spill and the hole in the pavement will be.

Let the network announce itself
Data loggers in the power grid listens around the clock and constantly compares with the network's normal noise pattern. Via The HydrantAI platform It all comes together in one overview, and the alert comes automatically when something stands out. For properties with high consumption, it is cheap insurance against the next leak getting a year's head start.
Equipment and courses if you want to do it yourself
DWI A / S sells and leases professional search equipment – as an authorized distributor of, among other things, Gutermann – and services the instruments so that they always measure correctly. The basic course in wiring and leak detection At DWI Leak Academy, we train your own technicians to use the equipment in practice.
The tasks take us around the entire Vestegnen region and surrounding areas – including Albertslund, Glostrup, Ishøj and Roskilde.
Yes, it's a classic task. The difference points to a loss in the internal wiring, and we locate where it occurs.
Yes. Both correlation and tracer gas work through fortified areas – the excavation waits until the position is determined.
For urgent breaks, often the same day. The emergency telephone number is +45 70 23 98 98.
Yes, both with individual cases in a department and with a review of the wiring networks of entire buildings.
Consumption figures and any map material of the pipes. If the maps are missing, we can handle it by searching for pipes on site.
