Pipes between buildings, car parks and green areas
Plant rooms
Booster pumps, water tanks, boiler rooms
Large roofs
Ingress through roofs, gutters and equipment
Floors and ceilings
Leaks under slabs or in false ceilings

Before calling, a simple test
1. Read the meter
Note the main meter reading in the evening, once operations have stopped.
2. Read it again in the morning
Before work resumes, read it again. If the meter moved with no activity, there is probably a leak.
3. Contact us
With these readings and a site plan, we prepare a targeted investigation.
Our technologies
On a large site, we first pre-locate the leak on the network, then confirm it to the exact point.
Acoustic correlation
Electro-acoustic listening
Tracer gas
Pressure testing
Infrared thermography
Endoscopic camera
CCTV pipe inspection
Fluorescein and UV lamp

Frequently asked questions
Do you need to turn off the water?
Not always. Some methods require a short cut-off or pressurising part of the network; these are planned with you so they do not disrupt operations.
How can we tell if our site has a leak?
Read the main meter in the evening and again in the morning while the site is closed. If it moved, a leak is likely. A higher bill without more activity is another sign.
Can you work on long buried networks?
Yes. Acoustic correlation and tracer gas can locate a leak along several hundred metres of pipe, between two access points.
What if we have no plans of the networks?
The leak can still be traced. To map the site’s buried networks, our sister company Georeseaux Mauritius can draw up the plan.
Can you monitor our consumption over time?
Yes, through Water Leak Monitoring, the group’s business dedicated to water consumption monitoring and alerts.
