Leak Detection in Silverdale

Onsite, we compare your notes with what the meter is doing while known demands are stopped. We check whether the movement is steady, intermittent or linked to a particular cycle. Those patterns help direct the investigation, but a pattern alone is not enough to name a failed fitting or pipe.

We then look for accessible isolation valves serving the suspected appliance, toilet or irrigation supply. Where suitable, we isolate one branch at a time and compare the meter response. We explain any interruption first. Please keep access clear around the meter and relevant fittings, but do not remove panels yourself.

If movement stops when an automatic supply is isolated, we check whether that branch was making a normal demand or passing water unexpectedly. A toilet repeatedly topping up, for example, needs a different response from irrigation running at its programmed time. Either finding should be checked against the observed flow.

If movement continues with known automatic demands controlled, further investigation may be needed elsewhere on the tested supply. Access behind a panel or another opening may become necessary to inspect the suspected area. We discuss the reason, scope and permission before opening anything, rather than treating an uncertain location as confirmed.

Where checks confirm a faulty component, we explain the repair needed and how we will check it afterwards. If the readings are explained by normal automatic use, a repair might not be required. You should still know which cycle affected the test and how to arrange a valid check later.

At handover, we identify what was isolated, what was restored and any settings that still need your attention. We explain any remaining uncertainty and the next check recommended. Keep your readings and cycle notes together so a later comparison uses the same conditions, rather than another interrupted testing window.
