Maybole Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) I have a water leak. I have narrowed it down to one pipe but the pipe is either inside a wall or under a floor. The local plumber's solution is to start one end and cut a gradually lengthening hole until he finds it. I recall, many years ago, a plumber in Scotland using a listening device to pinpoint the leak before cutting into a floor to repair it. He was accurate within one foot. I have asked around all the plumbing supply shops in Chiang Mai and the replies have varied from incomprehension to total disbelief that such a device exists. I cannot find any relevant thread on TV nor any device in Lazada. Can any member suggest where I can find anything effective ?

worgeordie Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Try a length of plastic pipe,put it to your ear, in the area you suspect the leak is,and you should be able to narrow it down, regards worgordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 A stethoscope would probably work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesriley Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I'm using the LevelPro leak detection sensor device for a long time without any trouble and also the support team is very helpful. So you can check this device from Icon Process Controls website: https://iconprocon.com/product/ld-leak-detection-sensor/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The MWA has leak detectors that just look like a long rod. Try a long screwdriver and listen to the end. I think it has to be a pretty good leak to hear it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
