15 Dec Concealed water leak detection & repair in Runaway Bay
This morning we attended to a reported concealed water leak in Runaway Bay. A water meter test revealed a leak of 2880 litres per day. A pressure test failed. Noting the property was full of concrete. We then traced the line and introduced a combination of compressed air and tracer gas before drilling some pilot holes to hone in on the leak site.
Using a Quikcut concrete saw we removed a section of concrete to locate a failed 16mm poly pipe damaged under the NBN conduit. Our licensed plumber configured the rapid before testing the line to find a further smaller leak. This was repaired and now the whole line is secure.
We backfilled with sand before reinstating the concrete section and cleaned the site.
