Rainbow Restoration Welcomes Synthotech as Key Partner in Leak Detection

Rainbow Restoration, the UK’s leading provider of damage restoration services, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Synthotech, a market leader in engineering solutions for the water and gas sectors. Together, these industry innovators are redefining precision and efficiency in Leak Detection through advanced technology and shared expertise.

We have long been committed to delivering rapid, accurate and non-destructive leak detection solutions that exceed customer expectations. Synthotech’s reputation for ground breaking innovation and high-quality engineering aligns seamlessly with Rainbow’s mission to set new standards in service excellence.

One method we use in our comprehensive Leak Detection service is the non-destructive technique of injecting a mixture of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen Tracer Gas into pipe systems to identify leaks.

Once deployed, the gas travels through the pipework and escapes through any leak points. Since most building materials are permeable to gas, it rises through the structure and is then detected by a highly sensitive tracer gas detector.

As the first milestone of our partnership, Rainbow’s Technical Manager, Lee Harrington and Synthotech’s Director for Water, Craig Duthie, collaborated to refine the Esders Olli Tracer Gas Detection System for improved adaptability in our day-to-day applications.

The Esders Olli is a user-friendly system equipped with a 20-litre-per-hour pump that operates continuously in “Leak Detection” mode. Its H2 Sensor is securely built into a rugged case for optimal protection.

The LCD Graphic Display provides rapid Parts Per Million readings and clearly indicates a significant drop when moved away from the Hydrogen source increasing accuracy.

To enhance versatility, several alternative probes are available for the Olli and Lee and Craig have developed specialist kits to meet specific needs of our network. The Carpet Probe is a valuable addition for external leak detection applications.

A Vision for the Future

“This partnership with Synthotech was a natural choice for Rainbow Restoration,” said Ron Rookledge, Head of Technical & Innovation. “Their innovative solutions in Leak Detection align perfectly with our commitment to accuracy and customer satisfaction. Together, we are exploring new possibilities to deliver the most advanced tools and techniques available.”

Lee Harrington added, “By combining Rainbow Restoration’s expertise in restoration services with Synthotech’s cutting-edge technology, we’re setting new standards in precision and efficiency. This collaboration ensures we can adapt to any environment, delivering fast and accurate solutions for our clients.”

Looking ahead, Rainbow Restoration and Synthotech remain dedicated to driving innovation and continuous improvement within our Leak Detection Services. By embracing creative thinking and “outside-the-box” applications, this partnership promises lasting value for customers across a wide range of industries.
