SPECIALIST PLUMBER NEEDED (Busca Fugas)
Helpful member
I need someone who can come and check my very long water pipe for leaks. We are talking 800m. It was replaced only 5 years ago. Sadly the insurance will not cover it.
I say leak, but this is not the usual leak.. My bill has doubled over the last two months and you would expect the meter to be spinning continuously, but it's not. It spins for a few seconds then waits for say 30 seconds before it does it again. This is a continuous process. When it's spinning it's recording more litres used, even with the house isolated.
I have never before come across a leak that is intermittent. Why this is happening is a mystery.
So I need someone who can come out (that won't rip me off) and by using the system that fills the line with gas which is a nitrogen and 5% hydrogen mix and then a 'sniffer' that will pick the gas up when it surfaces. I don't think an acoustic system will do the job since the leak is not consistent and the pipe is quite deep.
Can anyone recommend someone with the appropriate knowledge and equipment?
