Gas Leak Detection Services in Philadelphia
A gas leak is an emergency, and finding it fast is everything. EMCO Tech’s gas leak detection services in Philadelphia combine infrared cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and combustible‑gas detectors to pinpoint leaks behind walls, under floors, and in underground lines that simpler methods miss. As a licensed gas leak plumber serving Philadelphia and the suburbs since 2006, we locate the source, verify it with pressure testing, and make a safe, code‑compliant repair.
How Our Gas Leak Detection Works
Our gas leak plumbers use several proven testing methods to locate the source accurately while minimizing unnecessary damage:
- Electronic leak survey: gas‑sensing meters sweep appliances, valves, fittings, and exposed connections.
- Infrared & ultrasonic detection: finds hidden and underground leaks without tearing out walls.
- Pressure & soap testing: confirms the exact leak point and verifies the repair.
- PGW coordination: we work with Philadelphia Gas Works on meter‑side and emergency issues.
