If you suspect you have a burst pipe somewhere on your property, part of our leak detection process is to conduct a pressure test.

Firstly, we would isolate all of your fixtures, ie. cisterns and taps and then we would conduct a pressure test.

A pressure test is done with a test bucket (like this one pictured).  We pressurise the hot water and cold water fitting lines with water for a specific period of time, and if there is a pressure loss on the test bucket gauge, this confirms you have a leak.

If you need assistance with detecting a leak, give us a call on 5261 2422.
