Leak Detection in Kingsville

What's usually behind it in Kingsville

Kingsville terraces often have pipes running under timber floors, where leaks rot joists before anyone sees water.

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 Kingsville customers, that usually means same-day service.

Many Kingsville homes are workers' cottages and Victorian or Edwardian houses, often still on original clay sewers and galvanised water pipes.

FAQ

Leak Detection in Kingsville: 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.
