Leak Detection Malta an Introduction:

A renowned water leak detection company that specializes in identifying and fixing concealed water leaks in residential and commercial properties. This case study explores a recent success story where LeakDetectionMalta was called upon to assist a residential dwelling that received a warning message from Water Services Corporation about excess water consumption. Through their expertise and meticulous testing, the company successfully pinpointed the problem – a concealed water main pipe underground, saving the homeowners from potential water damage, costly repairs and costly water bills.

Client Background:  Ground Floor Residential Dwelling – Central Area

Issue: Excessive Water Consumption – Notification received from WSC highlighting the possibility of a water leak.

The homeowners had been living in their family home for over three decades. They had recently noticed a significant increase in their water bills and also  received a notification from Water Services Corporation notifying them about excess water consumption. Concerned about potential water leaks, they decided to take action and contacted LeakDetectionMalta for assistance.

Challenges: Upon arrival on-site, LeakDetectionMalta faced several challenges:

1. Concealed Leak: The increase in water consumption was not visible on the property’s surface, making it difficult to determine the source of the problem.

2. Minimal Disruption: The homeowners wanted the issue resolved with minimal disruption to their property, particularly since the suspected leak was underground.

3. Accuracy: The company needed to accurately identify the location of the leak to avoid unnecessary digging and excavation.

The Approach: LeakDetectionMalta took a systematic and thorough approach to address the problem:

Initial Inspection: The team conducted an initial visual inspection of the property’s water fixtures, water tank and other basic components to rule out any visible leaks.

1. Pressure Testing: A pressure test was conducted on the water supply system to check for any leaks in the concealed pipes.
2. Acoustic Leak Detection: Utilizing specialized acoustic equipment, LeakDetectionMalta listened for sounds associated with water escaping from pipes. This method helped narrow down the potential location of the leak.
3. Thermal Imaging: Thermal imaging cameras were used to detect any temperature anomalies, which could indicate water escaping and affecting the temperature of the surrounding soil.

Success and Resolution: Through the combination of these advanced detection methods, LeakDetectionMalta was able to pinpoint the concealed water leak to a specific area inside the dwelling, located precisely under a stair. With this information the least possible invasive trench was dug so that the problematic area could be accessed.

Outcomes:

1. Minimal Disruption: The minimally invasive trenching approach ensured that the dwelling  remained largely intact, minimizing the impact on their property.
2. Cost Savings: By accurately identifying and repairing the concealed leak promptly, LeakDetectionMalta saved the homeowners from potential water damage and costly repairs in the future.
3. Reduced Water Bills: The leak repair led to a significant reduction in the Smiths’ water bills, ultimately saving them money in the long run.
