Commercial Fire Compression Systems Fire Supply Line Leak Locating & Repair

“We had no idea we had a leak. You found our leak and saved our pump, which helped us save THOUSANDS of dollars. ”
— GRATEFUL NEW JERSEY CLIENT

Is Your Fire Suppression System In Good Working Order?

✓ Underground Pressure Fire Suppression Systems

✓ Fire Supply Lines - Leak Locating

✓ Fire Hydrant Leak Inspections - Test & Flush Fire Hydrants

Consider this: Commercial fire systems - especially high pressure underground fire suppression systems are controlled by a jockey pump that maintains system pressure. Although each situation /system is different, let’s say within a system the jockey pump clicks on at 150psi and cuts out at 175psi. ONE SMALL LEAK in the system would have the jockey run every hour to maintain the pressure. When the leak gets bigger, the jockey cycles more often. When the jockey gets to cycling under 10 minutes or less, a lot of wear and tear is placed on the motor, which will likely burn out. If and when the jockey burns out, system pressure drops below 150psi, initiating the big pump to click on. This puts the system in alarm, causing the fire department to respond, and then the systems need to be reset, with a new pump to replace the one that just burned out. It costs thousands of dollars to replace the pump.

Monitoring for leaks works.

Pipeline

Pipeline Leak Detection:

  • Water Mains in city streets-—main and lateral lines to buildings

  • Fire Supply lines, Fire hydrants, fire suppression and fire sprinklers

  • Utility lines— water, electric, gas metallic pipe, and fiber optic 

Pipeline leak detection is an essential aspect of properly maintaining a pipeline system or structure. Professionals trained to operate complex leak detection and inspection equipment have the know-how to find leaks, lines, and potential problem situations – quickly, effectively, and efficiently.

How Does Pipeline Leak Detection Work?

The most skilled pipeline leak detection professionals rely on the latest technology and the best quality equipment available to assist their operations in the field. In order to trace pipelines, supply lines, and other systems; the combination of existing drawings and blueprints with on premises detection tools is often required. In some cases, visual probes and in-pipe cameras are part of the location and detection solution. Other commonly used tools of the trade include specially designed ground probes, frequency sensitivity computers, and other highly specialized listening and leak detection equipment.

With these tools, pipeline leak detection specialists are able to find and “hear” the smallest abnormalities and leaks – allowing the pros to not only check out existing leaks as small as a pinhole, but also to analyze systems for signs of potential problems. These might include pipeline wall weaknesses, clogs or blockages, unexpected restrictions, friction areas, along with additional indicators of problems within the system.
