Fire Service Main Leak Detection for Hansville Properties

How it works on a Hansville site

Fire service main leak detection near Buck Lake typically produces three things: written report with photos for owner, excavation and backfill at the repair, and traced route of the underground fire. To get them we correlate and pinpoint at beach community systems at Point No Point and Driftwood Key, mark and report through gravel at Point No Point, and trace before the site is handed back.

Here's how fire service main leak detection runs on a Hansville site. We correlate and pinpoint; on community buildings and facilities that means working at the Kitsap PUD or a beach community system master meter and the building shutoffs. We mark and report, through gravel at Point No Point and across Buck Lake. We trace, and the manager gets excavation and backfill at the repair.

What's under Hansville's larger sites

Hansville's 'commercial' systems are mostly beach community mains at the north tip, where one leaking tap on a shared main shows up as a pressure complaint from every cabin, and every trench fills with water. Around Twin Spits the fire service main leak detection work we do most often is on beach community systems at Point No Point and Driftwood Key, and beach sand right at the water table decides how the excavation goes.

At Point No Point, Twin Spits and Driftwood Key the sand and the high water table mean leaks never surface and trenches fill as they're dug, so we locate carefully from the PUD meter or the shared main and bring pumps.

From Driftwood Key to Twin Spits the fire service main leak detection pattern holds: shared-main beach communities, beach sand right at the water table, a fire sprinkler system that loses pressure between, and an owner who wants written report with photos for owner before approving a dig. That's the order we work in.

One crew, start to finish

On waterfront community properties near Hansville Road we've done fire service main leak detection after hours with the site taped and lit, pumps running, and residents told what to expect. About forty minutes to the north tip, and the report with photos goes to the board or owner the next morning, along with a candid note about the rest of the system under trenches that fill as they're dug.
