A leak survey is an organized periodic inspection of the entire network rather than a fragmented check only when there is an odor or an alarm.

Route definition

The inspection follows a predetermined route so that no parts of the network are missed.

Critical points

Flanges, valves, regulators, meters, flexible connectors, vent points, and old repairs require increased attention.

Result recording

Every observation is recorded with location, date, and result. This allows for identifying if a point is deteriorating over time.

Categorization of findings

The findings are evaluated based on severity and the need for immediate or scheduled intervention.

Follow-up inspection

After the repair, the restoration must be verified, and the finding must be documented as closed.
