Guessing where a leak is means opening
walls, floors and
ceilings until you find it.
We do not work that way. We use
acoustic listening equipment, pressure
testing, thermal
imaging and pipe tracing
to pinpoint the leak first. Only
then do we
open up, and only where we need to. That
is
the difference between a neat, targeted
repair and a wall
full of holes. Once the
leak is found we fix it and confirm
the
system holds pressure before we leave.

Concealed pipe leaks inside walls, under
floors and in
slabs. Leaking shower recesses
and waterproofing
failures. Underground
water service leaks between the
meter and
the house. Roof and gutter leaks tracking
down into the building. Leaks behind a
sudden jump
in the water bill. For homes,
strata and commercial sites
alike, we find
the source rather than chase the symptom.
A concealed leak rarely announces itself. It shows up as a slightly
higher water bill, a musty smell, or a stain that appears months after
the damage started. By then it may have rotted a wall frame, lifted
flooring, or fed a mould problem that costs far more than the
plumbing repair. The water meter is the giveaway: if the dial moves
with every tap turned off, water is going somewhere it should not.
When a leak causes damage, you often need more than a fix. You
need documentation. We provide clear reports on what we found,
where, and what caused it, the kind of
evidence insurers and strata
committees ask
for before they will act. Locating the leak
properly
the first time also means the claim
is based on fact, not guesswork.
The Inner West is full of homes with decades-old galvanised and copper pipework, lead
joints and original waterproofing. These
materials corrode, crack and fail with age,
and the leaks they produce are often slow
and hidden inside walls or under floors. We
have worked on these homes for generations,
so we know the common failure points and
where to look first, which means less time searching and a smaller repair.
Finding the leak is only half the job. Once we have repaired it we pressure-test the system and check the meter to confirm the leak is genuinely gone, not just hidden behind a
patch. You get a result you can rely on, and if
you need it for insurance or strata, the
documentation to match.
We use acoustic, pressure and thermal equipment to pinpoint the leak first, then open up only at that spot.
Yes. A spike in usage with no visible cause is a classic concealed leak. We will trace it.
Yes, we locate slab leaks and advise on the least disruptive way to repair them.
Yes. We locate the source between units and document it for the strata manager.
