- [Voiceover] Geelong Cable Locations,
specialists in locating and exposing underground cables.
- OK, so today we're onsite,
and we're locating all the services
going into the house for the owner.
I've located the power already,
the power goes from the pit over there
into the meter on the side of the house.
We've located the Telstra,
the Telstra goes from the pit at the front
into the same trench as the power
and then into the side of the house.
The gas actually goes just over,
I don't know if you see it from the camera there,
but it actually comes just over a bit
and goes down to the gas meter.
But this water, the water meter
is in the pit there, hidden away.
We know, well, we assume, the water goes from there
to the house somehow.
We can't locate it with the cable locator,
we've tried that, but the pipe must be poly plastic.
Tried with the Ground Penetrating Radar
which generally finds it pretty well.
I don't know if it's the soil conditions here,
we're in Highton today,
I don't know if it's the soil conditions
that we can't find it,
or if it's because, it could be underneath those roses,
the bricks could be in the way,
don't know what it is, but for some reason,
we can't find the water coming through.
Ground Penetrating Radar doesn't always work.
So, we're going to use the acoustic locator.
The acoustic locator works through water,
so, you'll see in a minute, water will turn on and turn off.
As it turns on and turns off,
you listen for it with the leak detector,
and we listen to where it goes.
So, let's give that a go, and fingers crossed,
we can help the owner out and find the water for her.
And there we go, all done.
That actually explains why we couldn't find it,
it's actually running on a bit of an angle
from the meter down through the garden bed.
Doesn't explain why we couldn't find it,
but, for some reason, the GPR couldn't find it,
but we can find it now with the acoustic so,
one of the advantages of us coming out
with all the gear in one vehicle, is that we can find,
is that we should be able to find everything.
So, if we can be of any assistance to you,
yeah, please don't hesitate to call.
Have a good day, bye.
