We were called to a property in Swatar after the client found water in an internal yard with no obvious reason. It was not raining, and the water supply in the yard itself was closed.
The team assembled the Gutermann AquaScope acoustic equipment and asked for the water supply to be opened so the suspected pipe route could be checked under live conditions.
What the inspection found
Acoustic listening helped locate the leak on a pipe route connected to the kitchen and feeding the roof tank. Once the likely point was identified, the repair team could open the right area instead of chasing the leak blindly.
The repair was then handled in a targeted way, including making good the affected tile area after access.
Why this matters
When water appears in an internal yard, the source may be pipework, roof tank feeds, rainwater routes, drains or nearby fixtures. A structured inspection helps avoid unnecessary damage.
Acoustic leak detection is useful when a pressurised pipe is suspected and site conditions allow the sound profile to be followed. It does not replace professional judgment, but it gives the inspection a much better direction.
If water appears where it should not, book a professional leak detection inspection and let the source be checked on site.
