Leak Detection in Southbank

What's usually behind it in Southbank

In Southbank 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.

Southbank is high-rise living, where one leak can travel down several floors and building managers need to be kept in the loop.

  • A water bill much higher than usual

FAQ

Leak Detection in Southbank: 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.
