Water Leak Detection in Grantham: Hidden Leak Case Study

The audio from our YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDoOn_lvYsU

Here's how Scott Hardcastle from ADI Leak Detection found and located a water mains leak at a property in Grantham. Scott Hardcastle attended a property in Grantham where the external meter was registering a small mains water loss of approximately 2 litres per hour. The mains supply runs from the external meter at the front of the property through to an internal stop cock at the rear, and pressure testing revealed an intermittent drop that took time to establish. Tracer gas was introduced to the pressurised pipe and surfaced at the corner where the stop cock is located, with acoustic equipment then confirming the position of the leak. With the customer's authorisation, the basin and unit were removed and the floor was dug away to expose a leaking 20mm MDPE elbow in that corner, identified as an old fitting that had loosened or had not been tightened correctly. And here's what a Trustpilot reviewer said. The plumber expert turned up exactly when I was told he would arrive. Very polite and professional about his work. Fully explained everything and clearly showed care and consideration throughout the work he carried out. Many thanks for taking such good care and time and trouble over everything. The job was completed and I am a completely satisfied customer. Thanks! For leak detection in Grantham, call ADI Leak Detection on 0800 731 3843.
