Leak Detection in Westgate

Before isolating a supply, we explain which sinks or appliances could lose water and ask the manager to confirm a suitable pause. A kitchen may have several connected outlets, so we check the effect of isolation rather than relying solely on a valve label.

If testing points beneath the floor, we discuss the proposed access area before opening it. That conversation includes nearby equipment, food preparation boundaries and who will arrange reinstatement of floor finishes. Detection can reduce unnecessary disturbance, but lifting a finish or making a controlled opening may still be needed to confirm the fault and reach the pipe.

We explain what each check supports and what remains uncertain. A pressure drop in an isolated section could indicate leakage there, while water appearing only during discharge would lead us towards drainage checks. Neither result alone tells us the exact condition of pipework concealed beneath the floor.

Once the affected area is accessible, we assess the fault and the surrounding pipe before recommending a repair. The choice could involve repairing a connection, replacing a damaged section or altering an accessible route. We explain the reasoning and any further access needed before proceeding, including implications for fixed kitchen equipment.

After repair, we check the affected pipework under suitable operating conditions and inspect accessible joints. Where relevant, we run the connected kitchen fixtures to check for further water appearing. Moisture already trapped beneath flooring may take time to dry, so an immediate damp patch alone needs careful interpretation.

Our handover lists the confirmed findings, finished plumbing and outstanding access or floor-making-good arrangements. The kitchen manager receives a clear account of restored supplies and any area still needing protection. Note fresh pooling or other changes after drying, then contact us with those observations if they recur.
