What we do

Our Leak Detection Services

We locate and repair the full range of hidden plumbing leaks in residential homes, using non-invasive tools that protect floors, walls, and gardens during the diagnostic process:

Hidden Water Leaks

Acoustic location of hidden water leaks inside walls, ceilings, and under floors, with full pinpointing before any access work begins on the home.

Slab Leak Detection

Non-invasive location of leaks under concrete slabs using acoustic and thermal tools, avoiding the cost of breaking up the entire slab to find a single leak source.

Gas Leak Detection

Acoustic and pressure-test detection of suspected gas leaks across residential properties, with full safety assessment and licensed gas-fitter repair on completion.

Acoustic and Thermal Location

Specialist acoustic listening and thermal imaging tools that detect temperature differentials and pressure noise from active leaks, locating sources behind sealed surfaces.

Leak Repair After Detection

Once the leak is located, our team performs the repair to AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards, with minimal access work and full workmanship warranty on the completed job.

Why it matters

Why Leak Detection Choice Matters for Local Homes

Hidden leaks waste water, damage property, and inflate water bills for months before they are found. Detection done properly saves real money and avoids unnecessary destruction:

Undetected leaks can waste tens of thousands of litres per year
Wall and ceiling damage compounds the longer the leak runs
Slab moisture leads to mould, rot, and rising-damp problems
Insurance claims need timely action to limit damage
Non-invasive tools save the cost of speculative excavation

Emergency

When a Hidden Leak Becomes an Emergency

Not every leak is urgent, but the scenarios below are. If any of these are happening at your home, call us straight away rather than waiting for a routine appointment:

Water staining spreading across ceilings or walls
Unexplained spike in your water bill of 50% or more
Damp patches or warm spots on floors or under carpet
Mould growth in areas with no obvious water source

Call now if any of the above are happening at your home. Our team responds within the hour where availability allows. Turn the water off at the mains to limit damage while you wait.

Common faults

Common Hidden Leak Problems We Fix Locally

The leak detection calls we take across the area follow predictable patterns. These are the recurring issues our team locates and repairs most often for homeowners:

Ageing pipework in older homes

Many homes still run pipework from the original 1970s and 1980s build-out, prone to corrosion and joint failure. We locate leaks in concealed pipes and repair without unnecessary access work.

Slab leaks under concrete floors

Older concrete slabs hide failed plumbing connections that are difficult to find without specialist tools. Acoustic and thermal detection locate the leak before any concrete work begins.

Hidden bathroom and laundry leaks

Leaks inside walls behind showers, baths, and laundry tubs cause damp damage that often gets blamed on condensation. We diagnose the actual source and repair from the cleanest access point.

Pressure-side service leaks

Leaks on the pressure side of the water meter often go unnoticed until the water bill jumps. We pressure-test the system and locate the failure for repair without excavating the line.

Our team listens to the symptoms by phone, then on-site we inspect the visible damage, check water meter activity, and identify the likely zone where the leak is occurring.
