I additionally suggested that he ask the repair contractor to save a small piece of the pipe for this homeowners future reference. Having an isolation valve in the middle of a 600′ water service will be useful if this pipe ever leaks again. With the valve turned off the meter will stop turning if a leak is on the house side of the valve. If the meter continues to spin, the leak would therefore be between the isolation valve and the meter. If by saving the piece of pipe shows that the pipe is of a poor quality then only the leaking side need replaced in the event of a future leak. Adding isolation valves is a good strategic method of adding cost management to long water services. It was a pleasure working with this homeowner too.

The referring contractor made a good call to have this leak verified before excavating. The area where this water leak was showing is between two houses. One homeowner had landscaped the area with brick and the other had an asphalt walk way. The contractor didn’t want to begin digging with obvious risks. These risks are in the form of questions that include; What if the water leak is up the hill and both landscapes are unearthed in search of it? What if the pipe is leaking because the pipe its self is failing? Where does this pipe enter the basement slab if after digging the leak, the pipe material its self is revealed as a poor quality and the whole pipe needed replacement? These are good questions that most plumbing contractors ask themselves and the only way to begin finding answers is to have the leak professionally located. During the leak locating process the highly sensitive microphones can in most cases be used to find the areas of the buried pipe. As pictured you can see that this leak was located in the area of water showing and not up the hill (which as in most cases the leak is higher up the hill and only showing several yards below). The pipe entrance to the house basement slab was additionally located and marked. Fortunately, this leak was not beneath the asphalt walkway and in a location offering minimal disturbance to either properties to unearth. It’s unknown to me if this pipe was replaced or not however adding the location to where this pipe entered the house slab offered this contractor all the information needed “just in case”. It was a pleasure to help this homeowner and referring contractor.

- [Leak Detection Accuracy Saves Money](https://simplyleakdetection.biz/leak-detection-accuracy-saves-money/): Leak detection accuracy is best accomplished by utilizing several locating methods pointing to the same place. Since every leak will have it’s own set of variables, there are not many that are alike.  For example: depth, leak size, leak direction, pipe materials, pipe sizes, soil conditions and surface materials such as a driveway. There are many specialized tools used to accurately locate a hidden underground or under slab water pipe leak. Correlators electronically analyze leak vibrations at both ends of a pipe and calculates the leaks location in the form of linear feet from each end of the leaking pipe. Leak detection accuracy is also commonly attained through use of specialized microphones that can hear sub surface leak noise beneath the soil.  Infrared is another specialized tool used in leak detection as are cameras in some cases. Tracer gases such as helium and hydrogen are also commonly used to locate hidden underground water pipe leaks. There are often other clues to keep an awareness of outside such as moist or wet soil or a suspicious area of lush green grass. If on the inside, some indications to be aware of might be the sound of running water or moisture on a floor or wall. With all of the above mentioned tools or observations, leak detection accuracy is best achieved through the use of several tools or observations that independently point to the same place. There simply isn’t just one tool or observation that can be used to accurately locate every hidden leak issue.  Just as one leak can be so different from another, so can a leak detection company or technician be so different from another. Again the variables can range from familiarity and use of the many specialized tools available to the amount of experience attained in the field.  If a leak is not located accurately, the results can significantly increase the overall costs to the property owner. If you need to find a hidden leak beneath your property and trying to determine the best leak detection company for the task,  just ask your plumber! Your local plumber or plumbing company has likely worked with many companies or individuals who specialize in leak detection accuracy and he or she will be able to recommend their best choice.
- [Commercial leak detection – Seattle](https://simplyleakdetection.biz/commercial-leak-detection-seattle/): Seattle like many large cities have water customers in need of commercial leak detection services. Commercial leak detection can often include a variety of difficulties that are not as frequently encountered with residential leak detection services. Most electronic leak detection equipment amplifies the faint sounds created by an underground water pipe leaking under pressure. Using this equipment in areas of high ambient noise can often present unfavorable conditions to accurately pinpoint a leak . To remedy the obstacle of ambient noise conditions many commercial leak detection appointments are scheduled after businesses close or in the event of traffic noise, during the night when traffic noise is at a minimum. Tracer gases offer another method of leak detection that can be utilized without concern for noise. With use of either helium or hydrogen, the gas after introduced to the pipe system will exit the leak and rise the surface where its presence can be detected electronically. As pictured you can see some of the elements of ambient noise in the backgrounds. Leak detection services can prove highly cost effective if utilizing the right tools while employing good strategies to overcome unfavorable conditions.
- [Residential leak detection Puyallup WA](https://simplyleakdetection.biz/residential-leak-detection-puyallup-wa/): Residential leak detection can save a homeowner potentially thousands! The savings is the cost of putting your landscape together again after well meaning friends, neighbors or contractors have unearthed your property in search of a hidden leak. Another large savings created by a residential leak detection service is the opportunity to apply a simple repair instead of incurring the cost of a full replacement. As shown in the photos above, the process of a residential leak detection often includes pipe locating and application of several technologies used to pinpoint the leak issue. This leak was pinpointed using newest electronic leak detection equipment. I often suggest to homeowners to take pictures of the pipe location for future reference. Since everyone can worry about future leaks I additionally suggest keeping a small piece of the pipe after the repair for future reference. There are many good pipe materials used to supply water to homes. Knowing the quality of the pipe should another leak happen years later gives further opportunity to assess whether to repair again or replace. To offer some assurance against worry I can tell you that my average leak detection customer is a once in a lifetime!

- [How to tip: locating a buried PRV](https://simplyleakdetection.biz/how-to-tip-locating-a-buried-prv/): Most Pressure Reduction Valves (PRV’s) will make a high pitched noise when water is flowing through it. If you are trying to locate a buried PRV, first turn on a hose bibb to start water flow. Next, listen to pipes near the meter using a large screw driver, crow bar or other metal object to your ear. If you hear a high pitch “hiss”, you will likely have a buried PRV there. Back-flow devices will make the same noise so if one is nearby feeding an irrigation line it would be good to turn it off while listening for the PRV.
- [Tracer Gas Leak Detection](https://simplyleakdetection.biz/tracer-gas-leak-detection/): The concept of tracer gas leak detection is to trace escaped gases that exist at a low concentration in the atmosphere.

- [How to use your water meter to quickly determine gallons per minute](https://simplyleakdetection.biz/how-to-use-your-water-meter-to-quickly-determine-gallons-per-minute/): Most water meters calculate water volume in cubic feet. If your meter shows cubic feet and water is moving through it by evidence of the leak detector spinning….follow these steps to determine gallons per minute: Time the “sweep hand” or dial hand as it moves from one digit to the next. If the meter is measuring cubic feet, the time taken to move from one digit to the next is 1/10 of a cubic foot. This also represents .748 gallons. If the time taken was 5 minutes, this would be .15 gal per min 2 minutes = .374 gal per min 1 minute = .748 gal per min (about 3/4 gal per min) 30 seconds = 1.5 gal per min 15 seconds = 3 gal per min
