25 Jan Concealed water leak detection & repair in MacDowell
This morning we attended to a concealed water leak in MacDowell, a water meter test revealed a leak of 4320 litres per day, a pressure test failed.
After tracing the we introduced compressed air to locate the general vicinity to be under concrete near the laundry. We then drilled a number of pilot holes, introduced tracer gas before honing in on the leak site.
We removed a section of concrete before finding the leak being a damaged 20mm copper pipe in the concrete.
Our licensed plumber completed the repair before he tested the repair then the whole line to find it secure. We backfilled with sand before replacing the concrete section and cleaned the site.
