Hi everyone, recently purchased an old new house - around 10 years old. I am thinking should I check for any water pipe leak before I do renovations. Is it a standard practise? I don’t plan to renovate all bathrooms (5 bathrooms!) hence cannot change the piping. Anyone had any experience dealing with water leak detection? Done a pressure test myself, seems ok but not able to test the pipes coming from reserve tank. In Penang, anyone had dealt with any water leak checking company here? A bit worried there’s a leak after I’ve done renovations.

QUOTE(cdspins @ Mar 31 2022, 04:40 PM) Not really sure what is your question. But water leaking check is very simple... just get the reading of the main meter when the tangki is full and all tap is closed and make sure no one is using water for a day or 2... then check back again. If the meters remain the same, then it is safe to say that there is no leaking. Reserved tank? you mean the main is directly connected to all the bathroom? Reserved tank will be use when there is no water from main? Basically bypass to direct water supply uses back the same pipe, there is only 1 additional valve being install... So to test the valve, switch off the main and see if you still have water from the bathroom Thanks for your reply, By reserve tank I mean the tangki, the valve that connects mains inlet into the tangki is stuck at closed position and I cannot turn it, basically it just spin freely when I turn it. Ok I guess I’ll just watch the meter for a week.. because not sure if there’s a better way to check for leak or not. This post has been edited by ernie ball: Mar 31 2022, 04:49 PM |
