Leak detection and repair

The location of the burst pipe is often visible however this is not always the case. In some instances there are no visible signs of a burst pipe and the problem is only discovered due to a high water usage reading. When the location of the burst pipe is not known or for more difficult problems, it is necessary to carry out further exploratory work with the leak detection equipment.

This involves pressurizing the water lines which then forces air bubbles through the faulty section of pipe work. With the use of the sophisticated sounding equipment, these air bubbles can then be heard and we can accurately detect the location of the problem. We are equipped with the technology in leak detection and sounding gear and have plumbers that have been specifically trained in this field.

Burst pipes often occur unexpectedly and without warning. Our emergency service is available to promptly locate the source of the leak and carry out the necessary repairs.
