Leak Detection · Melbourne
Leak Detection, sorted.
A high water bill or a damp patch with no obvious cause usually means a hidden leak in a wall, under a slab or in the yard. We use thermal cameras, acoustic listening gear and pressure tests to pin it down before opening anything up.
- Licensed & insured
- Fixed upfront prices
- 24/7, no call centre
Signs to watch for
When to call us
- A water bill much higher than usual
- The water meter moving with all taps off
- Damp patches, bubbling paint or mould
- The sound of running water when nothing is on
- Warm spots on the floor (a hot water leak)
Around Melbourne
What we see locally
Inner-city terraces often have pipes running under timber floors, where leaks rot joists before anyone sees water.
We find a lot of Essendon, Coburg and Camberwell leaks where old pipes were joined to new ones during renovations, often hidden behind tiled walls.
In newer Point Cook, Craigieburn and Mernda homes, leaks often come from shower bases, push-fit joints and flexible hoses that failed early. We find them without ripping out tiles.

How the job runs
From your call to a finished job
Confirm
We check the meter to confirm there's a leak and estimate how much water is being lost.
Isolate
We isolate sections of the system to narrow down where it is.
Pinpoint
Thermal and acoustic tools locate the leak so we only open up what's needed.
Repair
We repair the leak and can provide a written report for your insurer or water authority.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
Can you find a leak without breaking walls?
Usually, yes. Thermal and acoustic tools let us pinpoint the leak, so we only open the small area needed.
Will I get a report for insurance?
Yes. We can provide a written leak report with photos for your insurer.
Can I get a rebate on my water bill?
Water authorities may offer a leak allowance once the leak is repaired. Our report helps with that claim.
How do I check for a leak myself?
Turn off every tap, note the water meter reading, wait 30 minutes without using water and check again. If it moved, call us.
