Finding what’s hidden below the surface. 💧🔧
What appeared to be water coming through a concrete footpath led to a much bigger question — where was the leak actually coming from? 🧐
Following a callout at a facility, the fire service was isolated while the suspected underground leak was investigated.
The investigation required sections of concrete to be carefully removed and the ground excavated to access the fire service pipework. Once exposed, the source of the leak was located and the extent of the failure became clear.
The underground fire main had developed a significant hole, resulting in considerable water loss.
Locating an underground leak isn't always straightforward. It takes careful investigation, the right approach and a willingness to work through the problem until the source is found.
With the leak now identified, the required repair works can be accurately planned to address the issue and restore the fire service.
Another challenging investigation completed — with the problem located and a clear path forward. 💯
