Leak Detection

Leaksafe specialise in the supply and installation of leak detection and leak suppression systems. We use both flow monitoring and fluid contact detection to identify both catastrophic and low level-leaks. Systems can be designed to automatically shut the water supply off if there is a leak and / or send immediate notification to residents or property managers that will identify where in the building the leak has occurred. Leaksafe systems are suitable for installation during construction or for retro-fit in any type of residential or commercial property.
