Plumbdog leak detection specialist James is back on the tools in Ballajura, WA — this time called out for a suspected underground water leak.
🧪 Diagnosing the Leak
James starts with the water meter, confirming it’s spinning despite no taps running. This indicates a leak and lets us calculate the water loss per minute — useful not just for our detection process but also for the Water Corporation lost water claim after the repair.
🔎 Acoustic Leak Detection in Action
Armed with his Fuji acoustic detection gear, James checks around the front yard and gets a clear signal near the front hose tap. He uses his ground spike/listening stick, which comes out wet — confirmation that we’re right on top of the burst pipe.
🔧 Repair & Confirmation
After carefully digging down, James finds a split in the pipe. He provides a cost estimate on the spot, which the customer approves. The repair is done using Auspex pipe, which connects easily to most pipe types.
Final tests show the water meter is no longer spinning, and everything is watertight. James backfills, cleans up, and heads off to the next job.
