Concealed water leak detection & repair in Eastern Heights

12 Sep Concealed water leak detection & repair in Eastern Heights

This afternoon we attended to reported water leak in Eastern Heights, a water meter test revealed a leak of 2800 litres per day. A pressure test failed , after tracing the line we introduced compressed air then tracer gas before finding the general vicinity of the leak to be under pavers near the outside toilet. we removed the pavers then excavated under the concrete to find a failed 20mm copper piped. Our licensed plumber completed the repair before testing the repair then the line to find the line Not secure. We then started the process again and found another leak in close proximity to the first repair. This too was repaired and tested which still showed the line NOT secure. Finally we located and repaired the 3rd leak in the line , we tested the repair then the entire line to find it now secure. We reinstated the site including the pavers. Our client did attend a couple times throughout the repair and was appreciative of resolving the issue.
It is not common at all to have more than one leak in the line at any one time
