Water can travel a long way from where it’s actually escaping before it shows up as a stain, a damp patch, or a jump in your water bill.
Digging up the yard or knocking a hole in the wrong wall wastes time and money, so we start with detection methods that don’t damage anything.
Three detection methods, used together, usually mean we can tell you roughly where a leak is before we open anything up.
A thermal camera picks up temperature differences you can’t see with the naked eye. Water escaping behind a wall or under a floor shows up as a cooler patch.
These pick up the sound water makes moving through a pressurised pipe, even through concrete or plasterboard, letting us narrow down the leak’s location along the pipe run.
Where a leak is harder to pin down, we isolate sections of your plumbing and watch where the pressure drops to confirm exactly which section is affected.

A leak isn’t always a puddle under the sink. Some of the more common signs we get called out for
Any one of these on its own isn’t proof of a leak, but if something on this list has been nagging at you, it’s worth getting checked before it turns into a bigger repair.
Finding the leak is only half the job. Once we know exactly where it is, we’ll walk you through what’s actually involved in fixing it and what it’s likely to cost, before we start any repair work.
Depending on what we find, that might mean replacing a short section of damaged pipe, fixing a failed fitting, or a more involved repair if corrosion or old pipework is the underlying cause.
We’d rather spend the extra time confirming the source than guess and end up back at your place a week later for the same problem.
We don’t like surprise invoices any more than you do. Some leak detection jobs carry a call-out fee, particularly where thermal imaging or extended testing is needed, but we’ll always talk you through the likely cost before we start work, not after.
If the job turns out to be more involved once we’re on site, we’ll tell you and get the go-ahead before continuing.
We provide leak detection across Sydney, including Sutherland Shire and Hurstville, as well as Bayside and Georges River.
