Hidden water leak feeding flats. 1 LITRE Every 10 SECONDS!

Here, we have a customer who is looking after the flats in question, and their water meter is constantly spinning at a rate of 1 litre every 10 seconds.
Luckily, this job wasn't so bad, but it could have easily been a nightmare of a job!
Not all leaks are this obvious, but we have to get lucky sometimes!

Once a repair was made, a pressure test confirmed the pipework is holding pressure, and once the water was back on, the meter was stationary further confirmation that thier are no further leaks.

So good to see someone competent, who takes pride in doing a thorough job.

"Maybe the problem is that tank."
"Impossible, it was decommissioned ten years ago."
"Why was it decommissioned?"
"It had a leak."

Being from western canada is always floors me to seek water metres and shutoffs outside and barely below ground. Ours have to be as the water main is 4 plus feet underground.

[johnferguson]

Your vids are still popping up on my device and I'm still enjoying every one, thanks.

As a long term plumber well done good job to find all that out

[DrGenestealer]

That water metre it looks to be connected to the side of a larger higher capacity water metre, Is that right?

Why do builders / developers make it so hard to service water/gas pipes?

[ezzax]

Lucky the leak was outside and some what easy to access! Could have been a lot more complicated in building that size

[jonesconrad]

Editing is hilarious especially walking through the window

I work in leakage for a local water utility company, and most people think leaks are easy to spot, but simply don't realize that the vast majority are not visible.
Trying to pinpoint a leak in an underground pipe, which is simply leaking directly into the ground is time consuming and actually quite difficult to do.
Only a very tiny minority are actually visible like this one, and these are the very easy ones to spot.
When a DMA (district metered area) is losing for example, 5 litres a second, when calculated by meters monitoring the amount of water in to the DMA verses the total amount consumed by customers, most people think 'wow 5 litres a second, that's a massive amount of water, it should look like a fountain gushing from the ground', and if you had a fountain gushing 5 litres a second then yes, it would be a massive gushing water jet.
But think of a DMA as anything from 1 square mile, to maybe 6 or 7 square miles in area, and that 5 litres per second loss possibly could be the total from 30 small leaks, and then you start to understand just how difficult a leakage technicians job is.
Trying to keep on top of leaks is like spinning plates.

That was far to easy I wanted you to have the road up 😂😂😂😂😂

"Oops, that's a mess, let's close that back up..." 😂😂😂😂
