Hi,
A few months back, the water bill was too high and even the pressure was low. We could not understand what was happening, and thus, we hired a plumber to assess the situation. Right after arriving, he performed some underground water leak detection.
He informed us that all our issues were due to water leakage. So, out of curiosity, I asked him how he came to this conclusion. Here is what he told me while fixing the leak.
How Does A Plumber Find A Water Leak Underground?
He said that he had to do the following things to find a water leak underground.
Pressure Check
He told me that, for the check, he turns on a tap at full force and puts his finger right at the mouth of the tap to stop the water flow. This provides him with a rough idea of the situation.
High Water Bills
He then asks whether the water bill is high or not. And he did ask me about the water bills. He asked me how much the bill was in the past and when it spiked.
Water Puddle
To locate the leakage, he said that he looks around for water puddles or wet spots in the ground. Following this, he digs the place to find the pipe and fix the issue.
He mentioned that these are the best way to find a water leak underground. He also said there are more ways to find underground water leak, such as ultrasonic listening devices and thermal imaging. But these are rare in India. That is how plumbers do their underground water leak detection.
