Leak detection in Herlev

There is water in the basement. But what water?

Moisture along the foundation can have several sources: a leaking pressure pipe, a faulty sewer or groundwater that is pressing in after a wet period. The treatment varies widely – and therefore the most important measurement is often the first to determine what you are dealing with.

 

DWI A / S performs leak detection in Herlev and diagnoses first: If the water comes constantly and regardless of the weather, the arrow points to the pressure line – and then we can locate the hole precisely.

Leak detection in Herlev – between apartment blocks and residential roads

Herlev is densely built-up, and much of the city's water runs in shared pipes – underground pipes between stairs and supply sockets under paths and courtyards. When such a pipe leaks, many people share the bill – often without knowing it.

We work for housing associations and property managers as well as for the supply behind the network. Emergency break with visible water? The emergency telephone number +45 70 23 98 98 is open, and we are often at the address the same day.

We only mark when the measurements point to the same place.

One measurement can fail; several independent ones cannot possibly fail equally. That is why we cross-check before making a mark: Acoustic listening delimits the area, correlation between two measurement points calculates the position, and if the two do not match, we measure again or switch to tracer gas, which reveals the leak by seeping through the surface.

We eliminate uncertainty about where the pipes are located with wire search – in older communal facilities, the drawings are rarely the whole truth.

Leak detection in Herlev before the loss becomes large

For supply and waterworks, act systematically leak detection about being ahead of the curve: The network is reviewed in planned stages, and the leaks found are prioritized according to their cost per day. For a housing association, the same thinking can be scaled down – a review of the property's pipes at regular intervals catches problems while they are small.

Community water bill

In an apartment building, the water cost is distributed among all residents, and a hidden leak means that the entire building pays for water that no one has used. For the supply, the loss is called NRW – Non Revenue Water – and burdens all customers in the network in the same way. In both cases, the money runs out until the position is known, and precise leak detection in Herlev is the shortest way to get there.

Documentation after leak detection in Herlev

A DWI location inspection is completed with marking the site and documentation of the measurements. This provides a clear basis for decision-making for the repair – and material that can be attached if the case needs to be forwarded to insurance or an administrator.

Monitoring: the network speaks for itself

With data loggers installed in the network, the noise image is recorded around the clock, and The HydrantAI platform brings it all together with automatic notification of deviations. For a property portfolio, this means that the next leak is discovered after days – and not only when the annual statement arrives.

Do you want to have the competence yourself?

DWI sells and leases professional search equipment as an authorized distributor of, among other things, Gutermann, and we service the instruments on an ongoing basis. The basic course at DWI Leak Academy – with theory and exercises on the test track in Hørsholm – is located close to Herlev and prepares your operations staff to take the first round themselves.

We also solve tasks throughout the area, including Rødovre and Gladsaxe.

Pressurized mains water typically comes constantly and is unaffected by the weather. We can determine this with measurements before making any decisions.

Yes, it is a frequent task. We locate the point so that the excavation does not affect more of the farm structure than necessary.

Often the same day for acute fractures. Call +45 70 23 98 98.

Yes – marking on site is followed by documentation of the measurements, which can be used towards the administrator or insurance.

It depends on the extent of the wiring network and access to it. Contact us and we will assess the task specifically.
