Leak Detection in Box Hill

What's usually behind it in Box Hill

In Box Hill apartments, a leak often shows up in the unit below. We trace it to the source so the right owner is responsible.

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. For Box Hill customers, that usually means same-day service.

Box Hill has grown up fast, so a lot of our work there is in apartments, shops and townhouses with shared services.

FAQ

Leak Detection in Box Hill: common questions

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.
