Leak detection in Kempton Park

Leak detection in Kempton Park — what we actually find

Kempton Park's galvanised supply pipe fails from the inside, so the loss starts as a weep behind plaster and the first sign is gradual pressure loss rather than damp. We compare flow across the installation to narrow the run before testing it. On guesthouse properties, consumption patterns swing with occupancy, so we establish a real baseline before treating a high reading as a leak.

Faults that cluster in Kempton Park

• Galvanised supply pipe failing from the inside out, read as a weak geyser
• Guesthouse and short-let use assessed against domestic rather than the correct standard
• Full boards with no spare way for the dedicated circuits a COC now requires
• Flow restriction between geyser outlet and tap rather than a cylinder fault

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 Kempton 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
