Importance of Water Piping and Signs of Damage
Water piping is the backbone of many infrastructures, serving various purposes such as supplying water to residential and commercial areas, industrial processes, and agricultural operations. Its integrity is paramount to prevent leaks and contamination and ensure consistent water flow.
Here are some signs your water pipe might be damaged:
-
Unexplained water bills: If the water you're paying for becomes unusually high without changes in usage, and you still can't see any reasons why it would be like that, know that this might be a break in your piping system.
-
Wet spots or puddles: A constantly damp area in your yard or near the foundation of your house may indicate a leak. Wet spots that don't disappear even in dry weather may indicate your leaking pipes.
-
Low water pressure: Low water pressure can arise from corrosion or clogging within the pipes, which can develop into more significant issues if unaddressed.
-
Discoloured water: Discolored, stained, or even rusty water might indicate that some of your pipes have internal rust, which might compromise the water quality.
-
Strange noises: Bangs, knocks, whistles, etc., from your pipes may indicate loose-fitting parts or trapped air, which might indicate problems.
-
Foul Odours: Unpleasant smells from your faucets or drains could indicate bacterial growth or sewage leaks within the pipes. If you notice any unusual odours, it’s essential to have your plumbing system inspected promptly.
-
Blockages: Frequent blockages may indicate that your pipes are wearing down, so they need to be inspected in detail.

Types of Weld Inspections for Water Piping
At Big Blue Portable Welding (1985) Ltd., we understand the importance of rigorous weld inspections to guarantee the structural integrity of water piping systems in Calgary. Our comprehensive inspection process includes:
-
Visual inspection: Visual inspection is the most essential initial process to ensure no weld contains defects. We view every weld attentively for visible defects that form the basis for the flawless water piping system.
-
Radiographic inspection: We use X-ray technology for radiographic inspections, which enables us to discover internal defects that would compromise the functionality of the water piping system.
-
Ultrasonic inspection: Our employees employ advanced ultrasonic testing using sound waves to detect flaws in the weld seam. In this technique, defects that are invisible to the naked eye can be identified.
-
Dye penetrant inspection: To detect surface-breaking defects, dye is applied on the weld surface, and defects that might concern the serviceability of the water piping system are easily spotted.
Stages of Weld Inspections for Water Piping
We follow a meticulous approach to weld inspection for water piping systems to ensure the highest quality at every stage:
-
Pre-weld inspection: This assesses all the materials before initiating the welding process to ensure they pass all requirements that will lead to the successful completion of the water piping work.
-
In-process inspection: While welding, the team monitors every step to pinpoint and correct such issues, ensuring this water piping system remains tight.
-
Post-weld inspection: Once completed, we visually inspect the weld to ensure that it is defect-free, meets our stringent quality standards, and adheres to our industry's specifications.
-
Common faulty welds: We focus on identifying and improving defective welds for excellence. We work very hard on common faulty welds, including incomplete penetration, insufficient fusion, and porosity, through proper inspection procedures and adherence to best welding practices.
