House leak detection & repair on acreage property in Birkdale

On Saturday and today we attended to a huge water leak at an acreage property in Birkdale.

A water meter test revealed a leak of 14,400 litres per day or 1 litre every 6 secs.

A pressure test was conducted which confirmed a concealed leak.

This property was particular challenging as there was a huge tiled area between the water line and house.

We conducted a series of tests which including using compressed air and tracer gas.

We drilled a number of pilot holes in the tiles to hone in on the leak location. (with the owners consent).

We then used our concrete saw and removed two sections of concrete before finding the damaged 25mm poly pipe not too far from the stormwater grate.

We removed and replaced the damaged section before finally pressure and a water meter test confirmed the line was now secure.

Much to the relief of our client as his daily water charge for the leak was around $60 per day.
