Concealed water leak detection and repair in Birkdale

09 May Concealed water leak detection and repair in Birkdale

This morning we attended to a reported concealed water leak. A water meter test revealed a leak of 3500 litres per day.
After conducting a series of tests we identified the likely leak site under concrete.
We drilled a number of pilot holes before introducing a combination of compressed air, tracer gas and water before we identified the likely leak site.

We removed a section of concrete using our Quickcut concrete saw and excavated to locate a failed 16mm poly pipe near a stormwater drain.
Our licensed plumber completed the repair before we tested the repair then the whole line to find it now secure.

We backfilled and cleaned the site leaving the site to dry before the client will reinstate the concrete section thus saving reinstatement costs.
