At J Ll Leach, we help you reduce energy costs and improve system performance with our thorough air leak surveys.
Leaks in compressed air systems are a major source of energy loss, often undetected due to normal wear and background noise in a manufacturing plant. These leaks increase energy consumption, reduce efficiency, and drive up operational costs.
At J Ll Leach, our compressed air leak detection survey uses advanced ultrasonic air leak detectors to locate even the smallest leak points in hard-to-reach areas of your system. Our equipment can detect even minor leaks, helping you minimise wasted energy, reduce pressure drops, and improve air quality.
By identifying leaks early, you can cut energy costs, improve product quality, and extend the lifespan of your equipment. A survey provides actionable results that help you prioritise repairs, leading to faster payback and long-term energy savings.
Finding compressed air system leaks requires precision. At J Ll Leach, we use ultrasonic air leak detection equipment to find leaks quickly and accurately. Our hand-held ultrasonic detectors, including the Fluke ii900 Acoustic Industrial Imager, detect high-frequency sounds from escaping air, even in noisy environments where leaks are not found simply by listening.
Unlike traditional leak tests, such as soapy water, our ultrasonic detection equipment identifies even small leaks in air lines, hoses, and pneumatic systems without shutting down production. We quantify air loss, assess potential leaks, and provide a detailed energy audit outlining the cost of the survey, estimated energy savings, and ways to save.
With our onsite expertise and technical support, we help businesses reduce wasted energy, prevent pressure drops, and improve overall system efficiency.
Once the air leak survey is completed on site, we will create a full analysis to report the results. This. This enables you to prioritise fixes, understand the cost of the repairs, and consider the proposed benefits of undertaking such remedies. We also provide skilled personnel to remedy those leaks.
On average, up to 30% of the compressed air your system generates will be lost through your generation system. When your compressed air accounts for about 10% of all energy used in manufacturing, checking your system is as well optimised as it should be is vital in saving you money.
Regular air leak maintenance ensures longevity, recognising problems before they become a major issue. For a short-term cost, an air leak survey creates long-term financial gain.
An air leak survey works to optimise your compressed air system, ensuring leaks are quickly identified and remedied. Many sites have been able to switch off some of their compressors and work from less due to the increased energy and air savings they have made from an air leak survey.
One of the main benefits of undertaking an air leak survey with J Ll Leach is that the survey is completely non-invasive. At no point is your system required to shut down, meaning production is not halted in any way.
Due to this, J Ll Leach air leak surveys can be conducted during normal working hours, ensuring no additional time is spent than is necessary arranging the survey.

Finding a leak in a compressed air system can be difficult without the right tools, as many leaks are too small to hear or hidden in hard-to-reach areas. At J Ll Leach, we use an ultrasonic acoustic leak detection device, which picks up the hiss of escaping air even in noisy environments. This advanced technology is far more effective than traditional methods like soapy water.
Leaks in a compressed air system can waste up to 30 per cent of the energy supplied, forcing compressors to work harder and increasing electricity costs. Undetected leaks also impact production time and reduce overall system efficiency. By conducting this type of survey, businesses can improve energy efficiency, lower operational costs, and extend the lifespan of their equipment.
Yes. Our leak detection device can detect leaks without interrupting your operations. We use UE System’s ultrasonic acoustic technology, allowing real-time detection without shutting down machinery or affecting ventilation. This means businesses can identify and repair new leaks while maintaining productivity.
