Concealed Water Leak Detection & Repair in Brookfield (Brisbane, QLD)

03 Jun Concealed Water Leak Detection & Repair in Brookfield (Brisbane, QLD)

We then attended to a concealed water leak in Brookfield. A water meter test revealed a leak of 5082 litres per day. A pressure test failed. Our client directed us to some wetness at the side of the house, we conducted some testing which took us to an area under the overflow relief gully. We carefully removed some pavers before excavating to locate a failed 25mm poly joiner. A large tree root was hard against the poly pipe which caused the pipe to fail. We removed the offending tree root before our licensed plumber reconfigured the copper/poly feed. We tested the repair then the entire line to find it now secure. We backfilled with sand before reinstating the pavers. Our plumber replaced the dishwasher tap at the request of our client. Our client was appraised as we progressed through. We assisted our client to make a claim of some of the water charges caused by the concealed leak through their water provider.
