Air tightness testing for residential and commercial buildings across England and Wales.
You should always get an air leakage test on any new building. Holes in the envelope can cause cold draughts and wasted energy, so it's important to hire professionals experienced in air leakage testing.
Air leaks typically produce high-frequency hissing sounds, so an ultrasonic acoustic detector can be used to find them. Leaks can also be detected by observation, inspecting where different construction materials meet.
A leak test detects and locates leaks in a sealed or pressurised area, helping to prevent harm to consumers and losses for manufacturers, as well as identify product design flaws.
If left unchecked, a small compressed air leak can have a significant financial impact, potentially costing a business several thousand pounds a year.
A low pressure air test of 30-50 PSI is appropriate for locating leaks.
