Detection & repair
Garden pipe leaks
Investigate persistently wet ground around private water routes.
Is the wet ground connected to the supply?
We compare the wet area with likely pipe routes, meter behaviour and weather history. Suitable isolation and tracing help assess whether pressurised water is escaping underground. The place where water collects may not be where a repair opening is needed.
A useful starting point
Mention outbuildings, outside taps and irrigation connections. Show known valve positions without digging around them.
Tell us about any earlier investigation, even if it did not identify the source. Knowing which checks were made and what access was available helps us decide what remains useful.
Choose a test that answers a question
Acoustic listening may be useful where the conditions and pipe arrangement suit it. A quiet result does not rule out a leak. Soft pipe materials and noisy sites can reduce useful sound.
An investigation can combine methods. We explain the findings and their limits, including when the evidence does not yet justify an opening.
Agree access before the repair
Drainage and natural groundwater can also leave wet ground. Landscaping and lawn restoration are excluded from the plumbing repair scope.
Once the proposed work is clear, the agreed plumbing repair is completed with the necessary parts and materials. Suitable checks follow the repair, and the report records relevant observations, work and any remaining matters.
