Here's how Vincent Morgan from ADI Leak Detection found and located a water mains leak at a property in Basingstoke. Vincent Morgan attended a property in Basingstoke where the external water meter was observed passing water continuously at a high rate with no appliances in use, indicating a leak on the underground supply pipework. Pressure testing was carried out using pressure testing equipment: the external mains held at 3.5 bar showed pressure loss, while the internal mains held at 3.5 bar showed no pressure loss, isolating the fault to the external underground section running beneath the tarmac and shingle drive. Tracer gas was introduced to the pipework and, using tracing equipment alongside acoustic listening equipment, the leak was located beneath the tarmac where stonework had compressed against the underground pipework and caused damage to the pipe. And here's what a Trustpilot reviewer said. We had a leak in our main water pipe in very heavy clay and very close to several large oak trees and our incoming gas pipe. Digging was therefore extremely difficult and complicated. Mark and Vince worked hard, to about 9pm on day one, and carefully to install a new pipe, navigating around large roots and the gas pipe, and cleared up afterwards. First class job!
