The Issue
A homeowner in Amlwch, Anglesey, contacted our team after discovering a fractured pipe beneath their driveway. Concerned about potential water damage and structural issues in the future, the resident found us after searching for a reliable pipe repair service in North Wales. To ensure a quick and accurate resolution, we assigned our in-house specialist Aled to investigate.
The Investigation
On arrival, our team carried out a detailed survey of the driveway using advanced underground utility detection tools. The C.A.T4 (Cable Avoidance Tool) combined with the Genny4 (Signal Generator) allowed us to detect the buried utilities with accuracy. The Genny4’s dual-frequency signal helped identify smaller-diameter pipes and cables, while the power boost function provided deeper measurements. These tools enabled Aled to pinpoint the exact location of the fractured pipe, reducing the need for unnecessary excavation and minimising disruption to the property.
The Solution
Once the problem was identified, our team carefully excavated the affected section of the driveway. By using precise excavation methods, we ensured minimal disturbance to the surrounding driveway. The damaged pipe was repaired with high-quality materials designed to restore long-term reliability. After completing the repair, we reinstated the driveway surface to blend seamlessly with the original appearance, leaving the area both functional and visually appealing. Throughout the process, we updated the client, ensuring they were fully informed and reassured at every stage.
The Result
The pipe repair was completed quickly and efficiently, with minimal impact on the property. Thanks to accurate detection and skilled workmanship, the resident was pleased with the outcome, praising both the professionalism and speed of our service. This job showcases the time saved through the use of advanced utility detection technology for underground pipe repairs. Our commitment to precise surveying, careful excavation, and expert workmanship continues to deliver long-lasting results across Anglesey and North Wales.
