Sound Familiar?
Signs You've Got a Leak
Most leaks are invisible until the bill arrives or the plaster bubbles. Here's what to look for, and what it usually means.
Damp walls or ceilings
A pipe inside the wall or above the ceiling is weeping. We locate it precisely so we open only one small section.
Wet patch in the lawn
An underground supply or sewer line is leaking. Acoustic gear finds it without trenching the whole yard.
Low pressure at one tap
A leak or partial blockage on that branch. We trace the line and fix the cause, not the symptom.
Cracked tiles or lifting floors
Slab leaks push moisture up through the floor. Thermal imaging shows the hot or cold line before we cut anything.
Sound of running water
If you hear water when nothing's on, a pipe is leaking somewhere in the walls or under the slab. We'll find it.
How We Find It
Pinpoint Accuracy, Minimal Mess
Guessing means digging holes in the wrong place. We use detection equipment to find the leak first, then repair only what needs repairing.
Acoustic Detection
Sensitive ground and wall microphones pick up the sound of water escaping under pressure, even beneath concrete.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras show the temperature trail of a leaking hot or cold pipe behind walls and under floors.
Pressure Testing
Isolating sections of pipework tells us exactly which line is losing water before we open anything.
Tracer Gas
For the hardest slab and underground leaks, a safe tracer gas escapes at the leak point and is picked up by a detector.
Think you've got a leak but not sure? Do the meter test, then call us.

Leak Detection Reviews
Found Fast, Fixed Right
Rated 4.9 stars by customers on ProductReview.
“Water bill doubled and nobody could find why. They traced it to a pipe under the slab, marked the exact spot and fixed it through one small hole. Brilliant.”
MichelleThirroul, slab leak
“Damp patch on the bedroom wall for months. Thermal camera found a weeping hot water line in minutes. Repaired same day, tidy job.”
RobUnanderra, wall leak
“Soggy lawn turned out to be a leaking supply line. They found it with the listening gear, dug one small hole and had it fixed by lunch.”

Questions
Good to Know Before You Call
How do I check if I have a leak?
Turn off every tap and appliance, then look at your water meter. If the dial or numbers are still moving after a few minutes, water is escaping somewhere. Call us and we'll find it.
Do you have to dig up the yard or cut open the wall?
Rarely more than a small access point. Detection equipment locates the leak to within centimetres, so we open only where the repair is needed.
Can you fix the leak on the same visit?
In most cases, yes. Once located, the repair is usually straightforward and our vans carry the fittings. Slab leaks sometimes need a second visit for concrete reinstatement.
Will my insurance cover it?
Many home policies cover damage from hidden leaks, and some cover the detection. We provide a written report and photos to support your claim.
What about leaks in the hot water system?
A weeping valve is a quick fix. Water from the tank body means the cylinder has failed, see our hot water page for repair vs replace advice.
Is the water authority responsible for my leak?
Leaks on your side of the meter are the owner's responsibility. If we find the leak is on the authority's side, we'll tell you and point you to the right people.
