Leak detection in Hyde Park

Leak detection in Hyde Park — what we actually find

This is the Hyde Park job we are called out for most. Long buried supply runs and extensive irrigation systems can hide a leak for months while the meter climbs, and the ground gives nothing away. We isolate the irrigation, then pressure-test the supply section by section, so the excavation happens once and in the right place rather than as a series of trial holes.

Faults that cluster in Hyde Park

• Leaks on long buried supply and irrigation runs hidden for months by the size of the property
• Original imported sanitaryware needing correctly sourced cartridges rather than replacement
• Standby generation interacting badly with the main board
• External and garden-lighting circuits with earthing that fails a COC inspection

How leak detection works

The meter test tells you whether you have a leak; detection tells you where it is. Close every tap, note the reading, wait two hours and read again — any movement means water is escaping between the meter and your fixtures. From there, acoustic correlation and thermal imaging locate it precisely enough to repair without opening tiles speculatively. That precision is the whole point, because the repair is usually small and the exploratory damage is what costs.

• Acoustic and thermal detection on supply lines, including under slabs and paving
• Toilet and cistern dye testing, which finds the most commonly missed silent leak
• Irrigation, pool and buried supply-line isolation testing
• Written reports with marked locations for insurance and municipal leak adjustments
• Repair of the located leak, or re-routing where the buried run is at end of life

Our process on a Hyde Park call-out

1. 1Confirm an active leak with a meter isolation test before any equipment comes out
2. 2Isolate zone by zone — toilets, irrigation, pool, house — to narrow the area
3. 3Pinpoint with acoustic correlation and thermal imaging
4. 4Mark the location and report it in writing with the position recorded
5. 5Repair with a targeted break-out rather than exploratory demolition
