PLUMBING LEAK AND CORROSION ANALYSIS

Our Plumbing Leak and Corrosion Analysis services focus on identifying the root causes of water infiltration, pipe failures, and material degradation in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. These forensic investigations examine issues such as chronic leaks, premature pipe deterioration, low water pressure, and staining or damage to building finishes. Our engineers evaluate piping materials, joint integrity, water chemistry, system design, and installation practices to determine contributing factors such as galvanic corrosion, erosion, or improper insulation. The findings support insurance claims, legal disputes, repair planning, or capital improvement strategies with clear, evidence-based recommendations.

Leak Source Identification

Uses advanced detection methods to pinpoint leaks within walls, floors, or underground pipes. This is essential in cases where unexplained water damage appears, such as wet patches on walls or ceilings, helping facility managers address hidden leaks quickly before they cause significant structural or mold damage.

Corrosion Detection and Preventive Health Planning

Examines pipes and fixtures for early signs of corrosion or material degradation, providing tailored solutions to prevent future issues. In settings like commercial kitchens, where exposure to grease and chemicals can speed up corrosion, this analysis recommends durable materials and maintenance routines to keep systems functioning optimally and reduce repair costs over time.

Backwater Valve Failure Prevention

Evaluates backwater valves to prevent sewer backup issues, analyzing common failure causes like blockages, wear, or improper installation. This feature is crucial in flood-prone areas or buildings with below-grade plumbing, ensuring wastewater doesn’t flow back into the property, safeguarding interiors and maintaining sanitation standards.
