What's usually behind it in Keilor Lodge
Many Keilor Lodge homes from the 60s and 70s have copper pipes under concrete slabs, and pinhole leaks there can run for months unnoticed.
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.
Keilor Lodge is mostly established family homes from the 1950s to the 1980s, many now on their second or third hot water unit.
When to call
- A water bill much higher than usual

Leak Detection in Keilor Lodge: 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.
