Leak Detection Technology - Moisture Meter

Leak Detection Technology:

Moisture Meter

A moisture meter is used for measuring moisture levels in materials like drywall, wood and concrete. Identifying dampness can locate hidden leaks, map water damage, and prevent mould growth.

Pin-type and pinless moisture meters are specialised instruments used to measure the moisture content within building materials.

How It Works

The surface is scanned for temperature variations using either a pin-type or pinless moisture meter, depending on the material and inspection requirements.

Pin-type meters insert probes into the material to send a small electrical current to measure resistance. Pinless meters use electromagnetic sensors to scan and measure moisture in larger areas without any damage.

Finally, the collected moisture readings are analysed to create a “moisture map” to determine the presence and severity of the water damage.

Key Benefits



Non-destructive method available



Ideal in damage assessment



Cost Savings & Minimal downtime



Confirms hidden moisture

Moisture meters provide various options to detect water dampness and prevent leaks from ever taking place.

Why Professional Expertise Matters

Moisture readings vary depending on the material type, density and temperature. A good professional will select the ideal meter type (pin or pinless) and interpret readings accurately.

Without proper assessment, moisture levels may be inaccurate, leading to additional damage and costs.

Testimonials

Industrial Fireline - Jebel Ali

“Our plant requires constant protection against fire, but our jockey pump had been unable to maintain pressure and was constantly on so we called LeakDtech Dubai and they found the location of the underground leak very quickly.”

Leaking Industrial Fireline

Swimming Pool – Arabian Ranches

“The LeakDtech engineer came over very quickly and found our main water leak problem within 30 minutes immediately lowering our bills and then found a secondary leak in our skimmer line again saving even more money…..amazing!!!”

Swimming Pool Leak

Domestic Water Leaks – Jebal Ali

“Our cement factory was getting old but we could not loose any time to our operation by taking the road up so we called in LeakDtech who found 2 leaks in our domestic water pipe and fire lines each in a day. Amazing technology and staff, saved us a huge amount of money.”

Broken Pipe

Petrochemical Pipeline Leaks – UAE

“Our Molsieve and transmission lines were suspect and needed to be inspected so we called in LeakDtech on a 3 week contract to inspect all our lines, valves, heaters and towers and their report was extremely detailed and accepted by our auditors for another year.”

Thermal Leakage

Food Court – Deira

“We had suffered from a leak for 8 years which had spread across our entire building and we were never able to locate the leak source and only dealt with side effects of leakage. LeakDtech found the leak source within 2 days and allowed us to finally rectify the situation.”

Drainage Line Leakage

Mall Leak – Dubai Marina

Our underground parking was leaking down on to visitor cars so we knew we had a huge problem and LeakDtech helped us identify the source from a ground floor kitchen that needed maintenance.”
