What's usually behind it in Research
Leaks on Research acreage can sit in long underground water services or tank lines for months. We trace them with acoustic gear and pressure tests.
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.
Many Research properties sit on acreage, often with tank water, LPG and septic or long sewer connections that need a plumber who knows rural systems.
When to call
- A water bill much higher than usual
- The water meter moving with all taps off

We isolate sections of the system to narrow down where it is.
Pinpoint
Thermal and acoustic tools locate the leak so we only open up what's needed.

We repair the leak and can provide a written report for your insurer or water authority.

Leak Detection in Research: 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.
