When a burst pipe showed up under a client’s liquid limestone in Duncraig, Rich and Hugh from Plumbdog were called in to track it down.
What started as a “simple” leak detection quickly turned into a head-scratcher thanks to:
•Double-storey construction
•Past renovations
•Limited access around the property
💬 “Leaks never pop up in the easy spots… it’s always the worst-case scenario.”
🔎 Step 1: Sniffing Out the Leak
Armed with our acoustic leak detection gear, Rich and Hugh began tracing the tell-tale sounds of running water beneath the limestone.
Sure enough — they locked in on the burst. But with layers of concrete and tricky layouts, a straight repair wasn’t an option.
🛠️ Step 2: Above & Below Ground Fix
To give the client a practical, semi long-term solution, the boys:
•Rerouted sections of pipework above ground where possible (less digging, less cost)
•Carefully repaired the hidden lines still in use
•Made sure the new layout restored reliable supply without weak points
🧱 Step 3: Neat Finish
The job didn’t stop at the repair:
•Excavated sections were patched and reinstated
•Liquid limestone restored to blend back in
•Site left tidy despite the messy weather (and a windstorm full of leaves 🌬️🍂)
✅ What Made This Job Stand Out
•Expert leak detection under liquid limestone
•Smart mix of temporary + permanent fixes
•Customer left with water back on, plus a neat reinstatement
