Leak detection in Svendborg
Everyone is keeping an eye on the water in the strait. The water under the streets is another matter.
Svendborg faces the water – but the water the city should be worried about lies beneath the cobblestones and steep streets down towards the harbour. Down there, a leaking pipe can work in secret, while the only one who notices anything is the person paying the bill.
DWI A / S performs leak detection in Svendborg and throughout South Funen. We translate a vague suspicion into an exact position, long before digging.
Two misconceptions that make leaks expensive
The first: that a leak can be seen. Few can. The water finds drains and cracks underground, and even large losses can be invisible from the surface for years.
The second: that a small leak can wait. A hole in a pressure pipe does not heal – the water flow grinds it larger, and the loss grows steadily, until one day the rupture forces itself into action at the most inconvenient time. Both misunderstandings cost more than a localization does.
Leak detection in Svendborg – from the streets of the market town to the islands
Our operators work throughout South Funen – from the older town center, where the cables are located close to other installations, to the surrounding islands: Tåsinge, Thurø and Langeland. Tasks in Faaborg and Rudkøbing are also part of the routine.
In case of an emergency breakdown, the emergency telephone number is +45 70 23 98 98 the direct line. We are often there the same day.
What does a leak sound like?
Like a faint, constant hiss – the tone depends on pressure and pipe material, and that is exactly what we exploit. An experienced operator can hear the difference between water flowing through a breach and everything else that sounds in the ground: traffic above or a toilet running in the house next door. The sound is pinpointed with a ground microphone, and the correlation between two measurement points determines the position mathematically.
Leaks without an audible sound – we reveal them with tracer gas: a harmless gas in the pipe that seeps up through the ground exactly above the hole. If we don't know the actual route of the pipe, wire search in advance, so that the correct tube is listened to from the first measurement.
Planned leak detection in Svendborg catches leaks early
Utilities and waterworks on South Funen do not have to wait for leaks to appear. With systematic leak detection We review the network in agreed stages and catch leaks while they are cheap. The review also provides an updated picture of the network's condition - useful knowledge when renovations must be prioritized anyway.
Leak detection in Svendborg stops a double loss
First, the utility pays to produce the water, then it is missing from the settlement – that is the core of NRW, Non Revenue Water. In addition, there is the expense that can be controlled: the digging work. Precise localization ensures that only digging is done where the hole actually is, and that alone makes the effort one of the safest investments in operations.

Is the network dense now? The monitoring responds.
After a repair, the question always arises: Was it the only one? Data loggers in the network provides the answer continuously – they record the noise picture around the clock, and via The HydrantAI platform You will automatically be notified if a new leak begins to appear. This way, maintenance becomes knowledge instead of feelings.
