Leak Detection in Carnegie

What's usually behind it in Carnegie

In Carnegie 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 Carnegie customers, that usually means same-day service.

Apartments and units make up a big share of Carnegie, where one leak can affect the neighbours below.

FAQ

Leak Detection in Carnegie: 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.
