Water Leaks

A certain amount of water leakage is to be expected in any water supply system. However many of the pipes are in such poor condition that they are prone to bursts & leaks resulting in low water pressure.

Pipes can be damaged, due to rust, freezing, too high pressure or penetration roots as the main causes.

The property owner is responsible for repairing leaks on private property up to the boundary. From there the local council is responsible.

Most leaks do not rise to the surface but instead run to ground and are detected by using sophisticated listening devices that pick up the noise that water makes as it leaks from a pipe.

How do I report a leak ?

To report a fault or seek an emergency repair, contact us.

All leaks and breaks are inspected to determine their severity and to assess what equipment might be needed for repair work. In many cases what appears to be a leak can be a blocked drain.

We will then:

• Isolate the break
• Excavate broken main / service / drain
• Cut out broken section
• Replace the section of main / services / drain
• Reinstate the ground – in the case of a garden, landscape as it was.

If you would like us to detect and repair a leak on your premises, contact us and we will schedule to attend to it.
