Detect Leaking Of Concealed Pipes

[2010huat 0]

Suspect that theres leaking from 20+ yrs old concealed pipes as water bill's very high - (average water usage)

was thinking of engaging some PUB licensed -plumbers to check if concealed copper pipes are leaking somewhere,

anyone did this b4?

or have any solutions for similar problem?

pls advise

thx

if your place water pipings have isolation valve for each of the area, then it will be much easier. just turn off each area and monitor the meter.

other than pipe leakage... other possiblities include WC water pump, WC & taps water inlet pipes etc.

otherwise, you can consider getting a licenced plumber to detect concealed pipe leakage. there are some special equipment to detect such leakage.

hi thx

checked WC water pumb, taps, etc - all seemed ok, no leaking

only WC- spray/hose leaks a bit after usage but that stops

daily,when nobody's home & no water is being used , water meter runs 0.007 cubic meters (12 hrs approx.)

is that ok?

so far no water seepage marks/rings/ discolorations on walls & false ceilings

thx
