Naxxar High Water Bill
From meter panic to methodical testing
The owner called after receiving a WSC alert for unusual consumption. At the meter we saw the classic red flag: it was spinning fast even after we isolated obvious users.
Zoning the system
We closed individual feeds step-by-step. The roof tank inlet wasn’t the culprit. Isolation narrowed the issue to the garden zone.
The telltale sound underground
Using acoustic detection, we honed in on a leak beneath the stairs to the roof—stairs which, the owner confirmed, were built after the pipework went in.
Smart fix, minimal demolition
Rather than break out the stairs, we proposed rerouting the supply around them. The owner agreed, the plumber ran a new line, and we confirmed success with a stable meter and a negative pressure test.
Takeaway
High consumption doesn’t always mean dramatic puddles. With the right sequencing—meter checks, isolation, acoustics—we can locate deep, quiet leaks and fix them with least disruption.
