Watermain & Service
Watermain and Service Leak Detection
Main and service losses waste water and undermine ground. Locating narrows the repair to metres before excavation, so the dig has a target.
Symptoms we're called for
- Meter movement with all fixtures closed
- Saturated ground or sinkholes along a route
- Pressure drops or unexplained water cost
- Water appearing in basements or vaults
Property types
- Private service lines
- Strata and commercial site piping
- Municipal distribution (with authorization)
Methods used
- Acoustic listening at valves, hydrants and exposed pipe
- Correlation between access points
- Pressure and flow confirmation
- Route tracing to support the locate
Limitations, stated plainly
- Accuracy depends on material, depth and soil conditions
- Excavation and repair are performed by others
What you receive
- A located and marked position
- Correlation and pressure data
- A dig-ready summary for the contractor
Next steps
- Excavate and repair at the located position
- Pressure-test after repair
- Re-survey the remaining route on request
