Canadian Leak Detection finds leak in Chilled Water Storage Tanks using Swimming Pool Leak Detection Service

16-Jan-2012: Toronto, ON – Mechanical engineers and consultants were at a loss trying to figure out a leak problem they had in a refrigerated water storage tank system in the downtown core. Safety concerns were raised when the idea of diving the treated water tank were first proposed. Hazardous chemicals are used in some types of refrigeration systems. Thanks to the power of word-of-mouth, they were quickly referred to Paul Gavel of Canadian Leak Detection by another satisfied customer.

“Canadian leak was able to pin point multiple liner leaks in my swimming pool without diving my pool. I told these engineers, if anyone is capable of finding a leak in these tanks without diving, it would be them” – he said.

He was very right. Using Canadian Leak Detection’s electronic & sonic leak detection service, a small leak was found in the rubber lining of an underground storage tank which was approximately 50 feet long, 40 feet wide and 16 feet deep. The only entrance to the tank was a top hatch approximately 2 feet by 3 feet. The leak was marked for repair and safety issues were eliminated.
