"Maybe the problem is that tank." "Impossible, it was decommissioned ten years ago." "Why was it decommissioned?" "It had a leak."

So good to see someone competent, who takes pride in doing a thorough job.

I recall working for a leak specialist company and they were not this competent. Just wanted me to rob the customer nonstop. Good to see someone trying

Your vids are still popping up on my device and I'm still enjoying every one, thanks.

Being from western canada is always floors me to seek water metres and shutoffs outside and barely below ground. Ours have to be as the water main is 4 plus feet underground.

Lucky the leak was outside and some what easy to access! Could have been a lot more complicated in building that size

As a long term plumber well done good job to find all that out

Why do builders / developers make it so hard to service water/gas pipes?

I work in leakage for a local water utility company, and most people think leaks are easy to spot, but simply don't realize that the vast majority are not visible. Trying to pinpoint a leak in an underground pipe, which is simply leaking directly into the ground is time consuming and actually quite difficult to do. Only a very tiny minority are actually visible like this one, and these are the very easy ones to spot. When a DMA (district metered area) is losing for example, 5 litres a second, when calculated by meters monitoring the amount of water in to the DMA verses the total amount consumed by customers, most people think 'wow 5 litres a second, that's a massive amount of water, it should look like a fountain gushing from the ground', and if you had a fountain gushing 5 litres a second then yes, it would be a massive gushing water jet. But think of a DMA as anything from 1 square mile, to maybe 6 or 7 square miles in area, and that 5 litres per second loss possibly could be the total from 30 small leaks, and then you start to understand just how difficult a leakage technicians job is. Trying to keep on top of leaks is like spinning plates.

@@ehsnils Nope, everything is metered and monitored. When there is a sudden rise in usage, we are sent out to find the source. Main water pipes that feed towns, can be 1.5m in diameter, and the water is of a high pressure. If one of those bursts, that is a LOT of water suddenly lost trust me.

I had an underground leak in a block of flats in Cambridge , many years ago. I called them up (all before internet). The woman I spoke to was threatening and obstructive from the get go. I was only inquiring at what point it was their leak and when it became mine. I eventually hung up on her and my mate and I dug down to the pipework. The leak was so bad you could hear a rushing noise. When we got to it we found the alkathene pipe had been joined using brass couplings then buried in a chalk rich soil which dissolves brass and the pipes had come apart. Correct connectors and we were done. I shudder to think how much Cambridge water would have charged. Stay away from the water companies.

Good job

You are a magician!

That pipework is an utter shambles. Nice detection work though.

That was ace! Subbed

Why the tank get decommissioned?

I live in Scotland and we don’t get water bills the same as England, ours is included in the council tax… so I’m just wondering if and who gets charged for all that water that was leaking?

Customers or occupants of flats on top of their own use. It's passed on in service charges.

nice find the duck would approve

Think the ones who done original pipework used to be spaghetti fans, what a mess of pipes and cables 🤦🏻‍♂️ well done finding that

Wow how much water that must have wasted over time.

What a mess them piping is!

Who'd have thunk it would have been such an easy fix. I hope you had a towel to dry yourself down.

Here in USA I fill my flats with air. Just sayin. 😊
