Background:
At B. Keenan Plumbing and Heating, we understand how stressful plumbing issues can be for homeowners—particularly when they involve suspected hidden leaks. A recent client in Belfast contacted us with concerns over a noticeable drop in water pressure and the possibility of a concealed leak.
The Challenge:
The customer was experiencing a consistent loss of water pressure throughout the property. There were no visible signs of water ingress or surface damage, which suggested the leak was located beneath the concrete flooring. Locating and resolving such issues requires precision, specialist equipment, and minimal disruption.
Our Approach:
- Initial Assessment: Our experienced engineers carried out a comprehensive investigation using non-invasive detection equipment, including acoustic listening devices and pressure testing tools.
- Leak Detection: We successfully traced the source of the pressure loss to a broken plastic fitting situated underneath the property’s concrete floor. The breakage was likely caused by material fatigue over time, exacerbated by the pressure demands of the plumbing system.
- Targeted Repair: After identifying the exact location of the defect, we carefully excavated the section of concrete to expose the damaged fitting. We replaced the faulty component with a robust, high-quality alternative, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
- Restoration and Advice: The floor was professionally restored following the repair, and the system was pressure-tested to confirm complete resolution of the issue. We also provided the homeowner with recommendations on monitoring their plumbing system and maintaining stable water pressure.
Outcome:
The repair was completed swiftly and efficiently, restoring full water pressure and providing the customer with peace of mind. The non-invasive approach and minimal disruption ensured the client’s home remained comfortable and functional throughout the process.
