Client Case Study: Jeremy from Burleigh Waters

Introduction:

Jeremy, a resident of Burleigh Waters (4220), recently noticed an increase in his water bill and suspected a leak in his home. After searching for reliable plumbing services on the Gold Coast, he came across Reactive Plumbing & Electrical through their advertisement in the Gold Coast Magnet.

Assigned Technician:

Matt, one of our experienced service technicians, was assigned to Jeremy’s job due to his expertise in leak detection and problem-solving skills.

The Job Description & Solution:

Upon arrival at Jeremy’s home, Matt conducted a thorough inspection and found that there was indeed a leak present. However, it proved difficult to locate as it could only be heard running underneath the slab for the extension and was thought to be under the tiles in the hallway.

Matt suggested inducing nitrogen into the domestic cold water supply line to help pinpoint the exact location of the leak. Unfortunately, this method did not yield any results. After careful consideration, Matt advised against drilling holes into the slab as it posed a high risk of water ingress and damage to other areas of Jeremy’s home.

In order to effectively address this issue without causing further damage or risking potential leaks in other areas of Jeremy’s home, Matt recommended conducting an exploratory dig on one side of his property. This would allow them to either cap off or install ball valves which would essentially eliminate multiple fixtures connected to that particular line. Once this step is completed successfully, options for rerouting can be discussed with additional costs involved.
