Working in our own suburb

There is not much to dress up here. We are local in the literal sense rather than the marketing one — no depot on the other side of the river, no hour of freeway between the call and the van.

Leeming runs south from the Bull Creek boundary down past Farrington Road, with Leeming Senior High School and a scatter of local shops through the middle of it. It is a settled suburb of detached houses on comfortable blocks, and it went up a step later than Bull Creek did.

That last point is the one that changes our job. Pipework here is a shade younger than what we find a suburb north, which shifts the odds. A Leeming leak is somewhat more likely to be a fitting, a fixture, a retic line or a garden tap, and somewhat less likely to be a buried main that has finally given up after five decades. Somewhat, not certainly — "younger" here still means decades in the ground, and the ground is still sand.

The call we get most in Leeming

A meter that keeps turning with the house shut down, and nothing visible anywhere. On Leeming blocks the answer is often out in the garden rather than under the house — a retic line that only leaks while the system is running, or a tap fitting buried in a garden bed and forgotten. Those are cheap answers, and finding them is the same isolate-and-listen process as anything else. How a leak is located

Why the sand matters

Perth's soil drains so freely that a leaking pipe under a Leeming lawn produces nothing to look at. No bog, no puddle, no soft patch. The water simply goes down.

That is the reason so many leaks here are found by a bill rather than by eye, and it is the reason we do not ask anyone to go hunting for it. There is generally nothing to find on the surface. What a hidden leak looks like
