Compressed Air Leak Survey Services in South Carolina
Ultrasonic Air Leak Detection for SC Manufacturing Plants — Greenville-Based, Fast Scheduling
Compressed air leaks are one of the largest hidden energy costs in any South Carolina manufacturing plant. The US Department of Energy estimates that 25 to 30 percent of all compressed air produced in a typical industrial plant is lost to leaks. Newton Industrial Solutions provides professional compressed air leak surveys across South Carolina using ultrasonic detection technology — finding every leak in your system, calculating the exact energy cost of each one, and delivering a prioritized repair plan.
Based in Greenville, SC — we are your local compressed air leak survey specialist. We serve manufacturing plants, food and beverage facilities, automotive suppliers, pharmaceutical facilities, and all industrial operations across South Carolina. Our surveys can typically be scheduled within one to two weeks for most SC locations.

Why South Carolina Manufacturing Plants Need an Air Leak Survey
South Carolina’s manufacturing sector is one of the fastest growing in the Southeast — BMW in Spartanburg, Michelin in Greenville and Anderson, Boeing in North Charleston, and hundreds of Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive and aerospace suppliers across the Upstate. Every one of these facilities uses compressed air extensively, and every one has leaks that are costing money every hour the plant runs. According to the US Department of Energy, a single 1/4-inch leak at 100 PSI wastes over 25 CFM — costing thousands of dollars per year in electricity alone.
Our South Carolina Air Leak Survey Process
Step 1 — Pre-Survey System Review
We review your compressed air system layout, operating pressures, and compressor capacity. This lets us benchmark your system efficiency and identify the highest-priority areas to survey first — typically production areas with the oldest piping and highest equipment density.
Step 2 — Ultrasonic Leak Detection
Our technicians use professional-grade ultrasonic detection equipment to scan every component of your compressed air system under normal operating pressure. Ultrasonic technology detects the high-frequency sound signature of escaping air — identifying leaks at fittings, valves, hoses, couplings, quick-connects, and distribution points that visual inspection completely misses.
Step 3 — Leak Tagging and Quantification
Every identified leak is tagged with a numbered marker and logged with its location, component type, estimated leak size in CFM, and calculated annual energy cost. We photograph every tagged leak for inclusion in your report.
Step 4 — Prioritized Repair Report
You receive a complete survey report including: full leak inventory with locations and photos, CFM and annual energy cost per leak, total facility energy loss, repair priority ranking by ROI, and an executive summary. Most South Carolina clients see full payback within 60 to 90 days of completing repairs. View our main compressed gas leak survey page for full methodology details.

Frequently Asked Questions — South Carolina
How quickly can you schedule an air leak survey in South Carolina?
Being based in Greenville, we can typically schedule within one to two weeks for most SC locations. For Upstate SC facilities near Greenville and Spartanburg, scheduling is often faster. We work around your production schedule — surveys are performed during normal operating hours with no shutdown required.
Can you combine the air leak survey with a steam trap survey in one visit?
Yes — and this is the most efficient approach for most plants. Both surveys are performed during normal operation, and combining them in a single site visit minimizes plant disruption and reduces overall cost. We recommend combining both services, particularly for facilities with significant steam and compressed air use.
We are a BMW or Michelin supplier in Upstate SC. Do you have automotive experience?
Yes. Upstate South Carolina has one of the highest concentrations of automotive manufacturing in the US. We have direct experience in automotive supplier environments and understand the documentation, safety, and quality requirements these plants typically require for vendor access and maintenance surveys.
How much does a compressed air leak survey cost in South Carolina?
Survey cost depends on facility size, number of compressed air system components, and location within SC. Most SC facilities see full ROI within 60 to 90 days from energy savings alone — before counting avoided repair and downtime costs. Contact us for a facility-specific quote.
Do we need to shut down to do the survey?
No. Compressed air leak surveys are performed under normal operating pressure with the system fully running. A shutdown would make detection impossible since there would be no pressure driving air through the leaks. We survey during your normal production hours with zero process interruption.
