WATER LEAK DETECTION OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
Older methods of finding water leaks include randomly digging into your lawn/garden, cutting into concrete nonspecifically, or removing several pavers just to visualize the leak.
These procedures are tedious and involve unnecessary work which can now be avoided. With today’s advancement in technology and the availability of Acoustic Leak Detectors, there is no need to dig to get answers. No need to destroy your perfectly manicured lawn or beautifully patterned driveway just to find a leak.
Our leak detection specialists can efficiently find the leak for you to save time and money.
LEAK INSIDE THE HOUSE
Leaks inside the house are always troublesome. Leaks can cause damage to plasterboard, ceilings, timber, flooring, and cabinets. On a larger scale, they can even cause the whole house to shift/move. We have seen a house with cracks in concrete walls due to concealed leaks in pipes.
Any suspected leaks inside your house or building should be attended to as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary and costly repairs.
To uncover a potential leak in or under your home we use a series of tests to identify the cause and location of the leak.
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TEST
This test is conducted to see if the water line will hold pressure. A drop in pressure at a specified time confirms a leak.
STATIC TEST
This is performed using a fluorescein dye mixed with water to trace leaks through waste lines. The waste line is plugged off and the shower tray is filled with coloured water to test the condition of the waterproofing.
FLOOD TEST
This is a very simple test but is highly effective. The tiles and screens are flooded with water and if water shows in the affected area, then it will confirm a leak.
VISUAL INSPECTION
This is one of the most important indicators when uncovering a leak. A meticulous inspection of the taps, spindles, pipes, toilet cisterns, drains, and other plumbing fixtures around the home is vital in identifying the area of concern.
LEAK DETECTION REPORT
It is our aim to provide extra value for our service and expertise. Therefore, after completing the inspection at your property, a detailed report with photos taken during the tests will be generated. This will include our conclusion and recommendation to repair the leak.
