Krzysztof Kobylinski is a leak detection engineer employed by ADI Leak Detection, the trading name of ADI Leak Solutions Ltd.[1][2] Based in Reading, Berkshire, Kobylinski carries out leak investigations across Greater London, South East, East Anglia, South West and the Midlands, covering 21 counties in total.[1] ADI describes his specialisms as plumbing and heating, and water mains, and records 16 years in leak detection, 16 years in water main replacement and 16 years in internal and external plumbing.[1] ADI records 2,225 completed leak investigations for him since 2015.[1][2] He holds a digger licence and Cat and Genny certification, covering both the diagnostic and excavation stages of a job.[1]
Background and experience[edit]
Kobylinski is one of the longest-serving engineers listed by ADI. The company records 16 years in leak detection, 16 years in water main replacement and 16 years in internal and external plumbing, together with three years as a Senior Water Mains Leak Detection Engineer at ADI.[1] It attributes 2,225 completed leak detection jobs to him since 2015.[1][2] Unusually among the engineers listed on the site, his headline experience figure is given for leak detection itself rather than for a preceding trade.[1] ADI states that his three years in the senior water mains role reflect a record on the more demanding end of the work, particularly buried supply pipe investigations.[1]

Specialisms and methods[edit]
Kobylinski works across central heating, underfloor heating, water mains, bathroom plumbing, underground pipework and drain leak investigations.[1] ADI notes that his background covers both detection and physical repair, including full water main replacement where excavation is required.[1] His listed detection methods are tracer gas, acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, leak correlation, borescope cameras and moisture meters.[1]

Documented case studies[edit]
