Water Network Study
The water network with the building water supply from the main meter to the building and also a general description of the water use is studied carefully from water consumption summaries in cubic meters either monthly or according to the billing.
We attend site to take an initial look and understand the water network, review the flow rates and determine how best the leak will be located and what if any procedures need to be followed if the water needs to be shut off for a period of time for step testing.
Water Leak Detection
The initial survey to allow us to determine the approach we shall take to locate the leak/s and any risk assessment and liaising with you ahead of the subsequent leak detection activity. The subsequent activity aimed at either pinpointing the location or area to give guidance to the ground work that may be required to remediate the pipe work. This may be undertaken during the day if there is no interruption to the office activity/cold water services otherwise we will undertake the exercise in the night/weekend. Our engineer will advise you of the approach. Please note we generally do not undertake the ground excavations or pipe repair but may be able to advise on possible contractors once we visit.
