Water showing on a wall or floor may have travelled from a concealed pipe some distance away. Our leak detection service helps narrow down the source before a repair access point is chosen.
Locating water loss before opening surfaces
The investigation starts with the symptoms, accessible plumbing and water supply layout. Meter observations, pressure testing and listening equipment may help isolate the affected section. The practical method depends on pipe material, access and whether the leak is active during the visit.
Problems we assess
- Unexplained changes in water consumption
- Damp walls, floors or outdoor ground
- Suspected leaks in concealed supply pipework
Keeping a useful fault history
A short record of when the problem occurs can make an intermittent fault easier to investigate. Note the affected fixture, whether other services change at the same time and what has already been repaired.
What an investigation can establish
Detection helps narrow the affected area; it does not always expose the failed connection. Where surfaces conceal the pipe, the findings and any remaining uncertainty should be explained before repair access is opened.
Preparing for attendance
Have recent water-use information available if possible and point out when dampness appears. Let us know about recent renovations or repairs that may have changed the pipe routes in your Fairfield property.
