Underground Water Leak Detection: scope, checks and next steps
Underground leaks are pinpointed with correlators and tracer gas so the excavation is a single small hole, not a trench across the drive.
What the reported symptom tells us
a supply pipe leak in a garden, drive or under a path. Record when this occurs, what changed beforehand and whether other equipment is affected. These observations narrow the investigation; they do not prove which part has failed.

Before your engineer visits
- Photograph the rating plate so we can identify the model and refrigerant.
- Write down when the problem started and whether it is constant or intermittent.
- Move stock out of failing fridges or cold rooms into a working unit if you can.
