Leak detection and repair on acreage property at Capalaba

27 Feb Leak detection and repair on acreage property at Capalaba

Posted at 19:37h in Uncategorised by SE.Leak.Detection 0 Comments

This morning we attended to a house leak on acreage property in Capalaba.

We conducted a water meter test which revealed a leak of 3323 litres per day or 1 litre every 26 secs.

We then conducted a pressure test which failed. After tracing the line of this large property we then introduced a combination of compressed air and tracer gas before finding the general vicinity of the leak under the bitumen driveway at the front of the property. Then the heavens opened up and rained us out.

We returned later the same day to remove a 600mm x 600mm section of bitumen before we excavated and reintroduced gas before finding the failed 25mm poly pipe at 900mm deep against a stormwater drain. Our licensed plumber completed the repair, before testing the line to find the line now secure.

We backfilled the trench , reinstated the bitumen section and cleaned up afterwards.

Finally we inspected the water meter with our client to confirm the water meter was NOW secure.

Our client posted a review stating “Trevor and Sam located, excavated and fixed a concealed leak at my place. Friendly and professional guys that got the job done quickly, fitting me into their busy schedule and around some less than ideal weather. Really appreciate it guys. Will use again and recommend to others.”

Trevor was amazing- Russell island is a difficult place to access, logistically a nightmare for most trades to attend. Trevor communicated well, turned up and solved the problem . I can’t thank him enough

So relieved that Trevor identified the leak very quickly and also did an underwater check for cracks. I am happy with the thoroughness of the job. Trevor explained clearly what was to be done and really put my mind at ease after an anxious few months of leaky pool experience.

For peace of mind, I engaged Trevor to carry out our pool pre-inspection. I highly recommend their services when purchasing a property with a pool. Trevor was very thorough and contacted me immediately after he completed the inspection to explain in detail the results. A written report with lots of photos was emailed the same day. A great Service and thankyou Trevor.

They promptly identified and repaired the concealed water leak, ensuring a swift resolution. Throughout the process, they kept us well-informed, providing regular updates and giving us peace of mind.

Huge thanks to Trevor for his help and advice. So genuine, helpful and honest. Absolutely agree with others, for any leak detection issues I highly recommend Trevor at South East Leak Detection.

Trevor willingly gave me advice about my pool problem over the phone without trying to persuade me to book a visit given the excessive travel time involved. He made it clear that there was no guarantee that the cause of the problem could be found and resolved, essentially advising that there might not be enough bang for my bucks, so as to speak. It was clear to me that he had my interests at heart as much as his.Attaboy Trev!

We used South East Leak Detection for a pre purchase pool inspection. Trevor was very thorough and in depth with his inspection of the pool, and walked us through the entire process. He took time to answer our questions and followed up with the report promptly. Highly recommend if you are looking for pre-purchase pool inspection!

Trevor kindly attended to our (significant) pool leak the same day I phoned. Trevor was knowledgeable, well equipped and helpful and we were provided video footage of the problem and repair. I highly recommend South East Leak Detection for pool leak detection and repair.

Seeing the pool level drop by a meter over the weekend and considering the potential repair costs, is stressful. Giving Trevor a call and talking through the situation and probable repair costs came with a great deal of relief. Trevor was genuine, professional and reliable. Thank-you again.

Tried another company that didn't fix the leak. Trevor sorted it all in the first go. Great service.

Trevor and Sam could not have been nicer or more professional. Trevor rang me within 24 hours of my request (which was on a weekend) to assist. The guys were on time, worked efficiently and cleanly and explained what they were doing. Felt like I was in safe hands and very relieved that my concealed leak has been repaired! Thanks Trevor and Sam - very grateful for your help.

We were concerned when we noticed water coming from the storm water drain and with the help of southeast leak detection we discovered we had a concealed water leak. We cannot thank the team enough for their professionalism, promptly response to our enquire, education and for their high quality of workmanship. It’s hard to find honest and reliable tradesman and we would absolutely recommend south east leak detection.

Trevor and Sam are our heroes, they were able to come to our property the next day after I contacted Trevor 5pm the day before. He explained what he was going to do with patience and identified an underground leak and had it fixed in no time! We were very lucky to have found and contacted them! Highly recommend!

Aouth East Leak Detection is a very good pool leak repair expert, less than professional fast, and will tell you a lot of tips, more importantly he can save you money to solve the problem quickly, surprisingly he also fixed my lawn mower Lol.

Trevor and Sam attended my property to detect and repair an underground water pipe leak. They were very professional and experienced with their work. They located the water leak under the concrete slab exactly where it was, using various radar tool and equipment. Once Sam identified the location of the possible leak, Trevor seconded it by doing his own verification. This allow them to neatly cut the concrete slab with precision, minimising any destructive work and damages. They replaced the faulty joints and retested the new connection with compressed air. They were also very meticulous in their work, testing and retesting several times to make sure there is no leak to the new joint, before backfilling it. Definitely gave me great confidence through the entire process, as their experience shows they know what they are doing. Well done guys. Great job!

Sam and Trevor were both lovely and amazing from the moment we made contact. Trevor recommended I speak to my insurance company regarding concealed leaks. He told me exactly which questions I should ask.Sam arrived at the scheduled date/time and got to work right away. They found the source of the water leak and fixed it without hassle.Trevor has advised he will email me with how to claim some money back from Urban Utilities as well. I was extremely nervous about how much this leak would set us back and was amazed at the incredibly reasonable cost for their services. I strongly believe we would not have been as lucky going elsewhere.South East Leak Detection will be our first call for now on. It is incredible to have trades you trust as an owner occupier for when things do not go according to plan.Thanks Sam & Trevor!!!
