Another leaking water pipe. Our severalth since we moved not even four months ago. It’s a worrying trend.
This one is behind the wall in the garage. I know that it’s leaking because I can see the water coming through the wall into the garage and I can hear the water leaking and dripping behind the wall. We called the insurance company and they got a plumber round here this morning. I showed him where the leak was behind the wall in the garage, showed him the water coming through the wall, and we both listened and heard the water leaking and dripping behind the wall. He nodded sagely and agreed that there was a leaking pipe behind the wall in the garage.
He had a very fancy setup whereby he pumped a mix of hydrogen and nitrogen into the pipework, and then used a very fancy toy to detect where any of the gas was coming out of the pipework.
Just ten short minutes later, he had deduced that there was a leaking pipe behind the wall in the garage.
Incredible stuff.
It’s still leaking. Mainly behind the wall in the garage.
He’s going to send someone to fix it tomorrow.
