Signs you may have a hidden leak

A higher water bill

Usage jumping with no change in the household is the classic sign of a leak somewhere on the property.

A running meter

If the meter keeps moving with every tap and appliance off, water is escaping somewhere between the meter and the house.

Damp, stains or peeling paint

Discolouration on a wall or ceiling, bubbling paint or a musty smell often points to a leak behind the surface.

Soft or warm patches

A spongy lawn, a damp slab or a floor that feels warm underfoot can mean a leaking pipe underneath.

How the job runs

  1. 01

    We narrow it down

    A check of the meter, fixtures and the areas you've noticed, so we know where to focus.

  2. 02

    We locate it precisely

    Thermal imaging, pressure testing and locating equipment pinpoint the leak before anything is opened up.

Straight answers

Will you have to cut into my walls or floors?

We locate the leak first so any opening is as small as possible and only where it's needed. If access is required, we tell you before we do it.

Can you provide a report for insurance?

Yes. We can document the leak and the repair in writing for your insurer.

How do I check for a leak myself?

Turn everything off, note the reading on your water meter, wait a while without using water and check it again. If it has moved, there's a leak. Send us the photos and we'll take it from there.

Is it an emergency?

A leak that can't be stopped, or one near electrics, is. We're open 24/7 — call 0433 280 765.
