What's usually behind it in Mont Albert
In older Mont Albert homes, leaks often come from galvanised pipes rusting through inside walls, or from joins on lead and copper mixes.
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.
Mont Albert's Federation homes often have cast iron downpipes and terracotta drains that have never been replaced.
When to call
- A water bill much higher than usual

Leak Detection in Mont Albert: 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.
