Leak Seal Cost at 110% billable repair capture: a worked example

This scenario runs the leak seal cost calculation on the strong side: 110% billable repair capture, with every other input held at its documented default. a maintenance lead needs to estimate the cost of sealing leaking joints, seams, or enclosures

The inputs for this scenario

  • Leak points or seal length: 18 points or ft (unchanged)
  • Seal repair price basis: 42 $ / point or $ / ft (unchanged)
  • Billable repair capture: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Setup and leak-test charge: 160 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Chargeable leak repair = leak points or seal length × seal repair price basis × billable repair capture) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 992 $ leak seal for leak sealing cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 55.09 $ / point or $ / ft for seal repair price basis.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 832 $ leak seal for chargeable leak repair.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 160 $ for setup and leak-test charge.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where billable repair capture sits at 100% and the headline result is 916 $ leak seal, this scenario comes in 8.25% above the baseline at 992 $ leak seal.
  • Use it when quoting a leak repair, sealing seam work, or pressure-test-and-fix job where some scope may be non-billable. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
