Enercheck Systems performs a leak survey to locate leaks in the compressed air system. Leaks are tagged and the location of each is noted and included in a report. An approximate dollar value is assigned to each leak so that justification can be made for repair of the system. A systematic program of repairing the leaks should be implemented as soon as possible, preferably as the leak survey is performed.

A leak survey usually identifies the most common leak areas:

  pipe connections and valves
  defunct equipment with air left on
  hoses and disconnect plugs
  traps and drains (liquid)
  manual blow-down valves
  filters, gaskets and seals
