Leak Detection in Remuera

At the end of the no use period, photograph the same meter display and record the time. Compare the readings directly, checking that the same digits and units were used. Watercare says an increased reading suggests a likely leak under these conditions.

Keep both photographs together with the start and finish notes. If the display is difficult to read or the identification is uncertain, explain that before drawing a conclusion. Send Stately the images rather than only a handwritten difference, so the initial conversation can consider the underlying observations and not just a total detached from the meter.

Check ordinary viewing areas for dripping taps, toilet refill activity, water beside appliances and outdoor dampness. Watercare lists these as useful places to look. Avoid dismantling fittings or opening equipment covers to extend the search. Describe visible cylinder discharge from a safe position without touching valves.

An increased reading points to metered flow, not its location. Tell us which clues appeared during the comparison and which existed earlier. A steady reading also needs its conditions recorded when the concern is water appearing during fixture use. Give the investigation a clear question so supply consumption and bathroom or drainage symptoms are not confused.

Provide the address, readings, test duration and any interruptions with your enquiry. Identify who can approve investigation and which areas need access arranged. We can discuss checks suited to the evidence and explain whether further observation or an on site assessment is the next useful step.

After a confirmed repair, retain the finding and ask about checking the original consumption concern again. Use the same careful approach to any later comparison, accounting for equipment or household changes. If unexplained flow persists, pass on the completed repair information and new reading photographs so further work starts with a record of what has already been resolved.
