Not a plumber but great clear video. I'm here because I just found a leak after searching youtube for tips. I was locking up the house late one night and could hear a hissing sound coming through the kitchen taps. I checked all the usual, garden taps, toilet cistern etc and then checked the water meter and roughly calculated it was losing about a litre per minute. Next morning I went round with a screwdriver to my ear on all the accessible pipework, the noisiest spot was thankfully outside towards the water meter, but background noise from neighbours pool pumps etc prevented precise location. I dug several holes in the garden, on the 4th hole the soil was wet, and I found the pinhole.

Love my old mechanics stethoscope. One of my favorite tools on the truck. Co-workers make weird faces when you break that out.

Leak detection in a estate is verry difficult aspecialy when there is alot of units & resedents plus traffic

I am in PA, the meters are inside the house here and the city shut off is near the curb line. We do water line repairs outside, the water lines are usually about 4 to 5 feet deep and between 30 to 80 feet long. The material of pipe can be copper, CTS, Poly, or Galvanized. Will this equipment and training be useful for us here in PA?

[renetorres]

Hi, can someone tell me where to buy thos equipment. I'm in southern California

[joaquinfabrega]

Where I live the houses and buildings are made of concrete slabs and walls of cinder block filled with mortar, water pipes are embedded therefore water leaks make no noise even at high pressures.

[brianblackmon]

That's crazy. Usually i just go to the wet spot and start digging.

Why would you need to hear if a valve is leaking? Stop valves are external and can be visually inspected for leaks as well as gate valves.

[kirkwilson]

What is the name of the leak device you are using.

[jah]

None of these plumber videos tell you how long to watch the water pressure with a gauge and should the pressure drop (if any at all) in that time period. For example, should the pressure be rock solid in that 15 minutes and not move at all, or is a drop of 2 psi or so acceptable in that 15 minute period?

Roger do you offer Leak Detection training. I heard Palm Springs in conversation and I’m in Broward County I’d be happy to come up your way if you have a leak detection course soon or in the future.
