Water Leak Detection Course

 

Course Length 2 days

CEU's and Contact Hours available.

 

Course Description

This course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge in the practices of water leak detection and correlation methods. Students will be instructed in the basics and background theory of leak detection to better utilize advanced correlation techniques. Participants will learn various methods available to identify and find leaks in locations of unaccounted for water loss in water systems. A variety of equipment will be demonstrated and used to aid students in accurately pinpointing leaks in all types of pipe materials.
