Sewer Gas Leak Detector by Forensics | 20-Year Sensor | Bathroom, Drains, Sewage, Plumbing |

I've been using this leak detector for a couple of years to detect natural gas, propane and hydrogen leaks. It has been very reliable and accurate. It can quickly detect even the smallest leaks. Because it tells you the amount of gas detected in ppm, you can zero in on the leak. I always recommend it to my friends for leak detection in their homes or RVs.

So i had a gas leak. It was smelling gas in my basement. The gas company came and identified the joint in the copper pipe that was leaking and closed the valve to the fireplace. I decided I would get myself a detector too and purchased this one. It arrived and I proceeded to test the copper pipe after opening the valve. Sure enough it was beeping and showing on the LCD a high range. Closed the device and called a plumber to fix the leak. The plumber came a week later with soap but was not able to see the leak. So I told him I had this gas detector. Turned it on, waited for the warmup period and then started looking for the leak. Nothing. It was showing zero. Surprised I took it to the stove-top, opened the gas and to my surprise - big fat zero. It is like this detector worked once and died. This is the most dangerous thing as it can give you a false sense that there is no leak.

It works fine for sewer and natural gas. Thats all I have used it for. It saved me a lot of money and ended my health problems associated with leaks.

Seems to work well. Hopefully won't run into the sudden death issue others mentioned. No way to know if the numbers are accurate, but it does behave like I would expect with a staged leak so, so far so good.

This item helped me decide whether I had a sewer gas leak in my pipes. Plumber wanted more to come and check while this was cheaper I discovered the smell was from the dirty bucket from my robot vacuum since no sewer smells were found by the device. This item stopped powering on and the seller replaced it immediately! Great customer service!

Exactly as pictured and described. A little bit pricey but remember you get what you pay for and this one's a sure bet. Works quite well sniffing out propane, sewer gas and even gases put off by decomposition.

The most incomplete and poorly written Operation Manual I have ever seen. It does not mention detection of propane, butane, H2, NH3 & alkanes as advertised on Amazon. How can a professional work with a gas detector and not know what gases are being monitored? Other examples of my disappointment: Reference Page 5, description of the “clear” and “save” functions makes no sense. Reference page 7, “method 1” description makes no sense. There is no explanation of how the external pump interface works or how to use it. That is not all, the more I tried to use the Operation Manual the more of this type of thing kept piling up. I tried to call Forensic’s customer service but there is no phone number in the Operator Manual even in the section titled Customer Support. I tried online to get an improved Owners Manual or other help but Forensic’s web site was not helpful. I returned the unit --- I will not waste more of my time working with such an extremely poor Operation Manual.

Sometimes works most of the time doesn’t Not ideal for a gas detector

Mi piace la sensibilità... Un po' ferragunosa da programmare.. Mancano i gradi Celsius...

Non e cosi tanto buono. Speravo che fosse piu sensibile. Funzionale pero si fa fatica.
