Water Leak Investigation and Repair

Evac was engaged to attend to a reported water leak at the front boundary of a property. The leak was suspected to be a burst pipe, with water continuously running into the storm drain. Initial investigations involved determining the responsibility for the repair, followed by executing a comprehensive repair plan to resolve the issue effectively.

Permanent Repair works

• Cut and removed concrete to access the 100mm water service
• Shut down the water main and repaired the identified leak

• Excavated the right-hand side of the driveway to locate the leak
• Found the issue on a 100mm blue Bruit water main where a pipe had slipped out of rubber ring bell
• Cut of the damaged section and installed two vari-gib joints with a new section of blue Bruit pipe
