Leak detection in Middelfart
The water in the tap has been in the making for decades
Drinking water is groundwater, and groundwater is formed slowly – drop by drop through the soil layers, over decades. Once it is pumped up and purified, it is too valuable to end up in a leaky reservoir under a residential road on the Little Belt.
This is the starting point when DWI A / S performs leak detection in Middelfart: Each localized leak saves both money on operations and water in the underground.
Leak detection in Middelfart – for the economy and for groundwater
A loss of water can always be calculated in kroner, and that calculation rarely goes in favor of the supply. But in an era when people are drilling deeper for clean water, the other side also counts: The resource is limited, and the most sustainable water is that which is never lost.
Our operators locate the leak with a precision that makes the excavation surgical. Acute rupture? The emergency telephone +45 70 23 98 98 responds, and often we arrive the same day – Middelfart is conveniently located for our people from both sides of the Little Belt.
Leak detection in Middelfart – even when the house is empty
The coastal city's network supplies more than year-round homes. In holiday home areas, properties sit empty for months, and a leaking underground pipe can run all winter before someone locks themselves in and wonders about the water bill. We locate these types of losses without digging up the garden on guesswork – one measurement and one marked point, so the repair can start straight away.
For the supply and local waterworks, we systematically carry out leak detection, where the network is reviewed according to plan, and water loss is reduced area by area.
Metal pipes sing, plastic pipes are silent
The pipe material determines how we work. Cast iron and steel conduct the sound of the leak a long way, so acoustic listening and correlation between two measuring points reach a precise position. Plastic pipes, on the other hand, retain the sound – in them we send a harmless tracer gas through the water and find the leak with detectors on the surface.
However, the first step is always to know where the pipe is located. If the wiring plan does not match reality, we map the route with wire search, before the measurements start.
Overview without a large operating organization
You don't need a control room to keep an eye on your network. Data loggers mounted at critical points and listens around the clock, while The HydrantAI platform collects the measurements and reports when the noise picture changes. For a smaller waterworks, this means a large overview for a small effort – and a leak that is discovered in week one instead of in the quarterly accounts.
The math behind leak detection in Middelfart
NRW – Non Revenue Water – covers the water that is produced but never reaches a paying meter. The loss continues until someone stops it, and the only lasting solution is to find the hole. Because the precise location identifies the position in advance, the expense is limited to one excavation – and from there the savings are pure profit month after month.

Even in the process of leak detection?
DWI delivers professionally search equipment for purchase and leasing – we are an authorized distributor of, among other things, Gutermann and services the instruments on an ongoing basis. The basic course in wiring and leak detection At DWI Leak Academy, your own technicians learn to use the methods correctly, with practical exercises on the test track.
We also solve tasks throughout the area around the Little Belt – including Fredericia, Kolding and Assens.
Yes. The ground wire between the meter and the house is a classic culprit, and we locate the break without having to dig up the ground.
Often the same day for acute breaks – we are easily accessible from both sides of the Little Belt. Call +45 70 23 98 98.
Only for the choice of method. Metal is monitored acoustically, plastic is typically handled with tracer gas – the precision is the same in both cases.
Yes, we help both businesses and private households – in addition to utilities.
Call or write with what you know – typically a consumption figure or a suspicion – and we will suggest the next step.
