Leaks in underground water pipes can be detected by: observing the water meter, using a stethoscope, using an infrared camera, etc. .
1. Observe the water meter
Turn off all taps and water dispensers and observe if the water meter is still running. If the water meter is still running, there is a leak. At this time, you can try turning off the main valve and observe if the water meter stops spinning to determine the location of the leak.
2. Use a stethoscope
When using a stethoscope, you must place it on the water line and then use hearing to determine if there is a leak. If you hear a leak, you can determine its location.
3. Use an infrared camera
When using an infrared camera, you need to aim it at the ground, and then use the infrared camera to take a map of thermic soil to Determine if the water line is leaking. If unusual hot spots appear on the heat map, the location of the leak can be determined.
How to Fix Pipe Leaks
1 When a pipe leak is detected , remove it. water in your house The valve should be closed in time, then to solve the pipeline leakage problem, we must first determine whether it is caused by other reasons or the pipeline itself, and find the pipeline leak point. use various tools such as leak detectors to determine the leak point.
2. If the PVC sewer pipe is leaking, you can saw off the water pipe at the leak point, use glue to fix the PVC joint on the PVC water pipe and repair it.
3. If the PPR water pipe is leaking, first saw off the water pipe section at the leak area, use a thermofus machineible to connect and attach the new PPR pipe to the PPR water pipe, and repair it.
4. If the pipeline is still within the warranty period and the leak is caused by non-human factors, you can contact the developer for repair.
