Interior plumbing leak detections
Finding the source of an interior plumbing leak doesn't have to be a destructive or costly process. Our specialist techniques and equipment enable us to find the source of the leak whether it is inside a wall, under the floorboards, running through the garden or anywhere else. We will never unnecessarily dismantle your home to find a leak, so you won't have to worry about the cost of putting it back together.
Our plumbers will pinpoint the location of a leak and offer practical solutions with clear, no-nonsense quotes. We can assess the damage the leak is causing and tell you exactly how we can repair it to get you back to normal.

Storm water leak detections
If more puddles are appearing around your property than usual when it rains, you may have a storm water leak. Our team of licensed plumbers can visit your property to determine the presence of a storm water leak and detect exactly where it is. Proper drainage is essential for the health of your property, so you must not ignore it when you suspect there may be an issue.
We use cutting-edge equipment to inspect drains and plumbing as part of your storm water leak detection service. When we identify the leak, we will present our findings and offer a detailed quote for the work needed to resolve it.
Water main leak detections
Unlike most indoor plumbing leaks, a water main leak may not have immediately obvious signs. You might find your water bill is higher than usual, or there could be a drop in water pressure if the leak is particularly bad. Water main leak detection is usually done by turning off the stop valve then seeing if the water meter shows continued consumption.
If this simple test fails to indicate a leak, we can also test the pressure of your internal plumbing system. Our leak detection experts will be able to ascertain whether a leak is present and use specialist equipment to pinpoint the location of the leak.

Underground water leak detections
Our team of plumbers are experts with many years of experience in detecting underground water leaks. We have the skills and equipment to swiftly find a leak and begin repairing it right away. It could be an underground mains supply pipe that's leaking or an underfloor pipe inside a property - in either case, specialist trade knowledge and equipment is invaluable.
We will carry out the initial inspection in a non-intrusive way and provide an underground leak detection report. We will then describe the scope of work and offer a no-obligation quote to cover the repairs, which you can pass on to your insurance company.
Signs of a Water Leak
There are many tell-tale signs of a water leak, depending on the type of leak you have. If you are dealing with a sewage leak, for instance, you may notice wet areas in the garden that won’t dry, freshly growing trees and plants and, of course, a foul odour that won’t dissipate.
You may also notice mould on internal walls, damp areas on your ceiling, water stains on your floors and warped cabinetry. A damp smell, bubbling paint and higher than average water bills are also signs of a leak somewhere on your property. Book water leak detection in Wollongong by calling

Water Leak Detection FAQ's
How can I test if my water is leaking?
Turn off all devices using water within your home, ensuring all taps are tightly shut. Check your water meter and then go back and check after two hours. If your meter has continued to run in that time, you may have a water leak at your property.
How does leak detection work?
Leak detection works by using acoustic sensors that filter out background noise to zero in on particular frequencies common in leaks. There are a range of other tests, including visual ones that rely on radar technology.
How to I prevent water leaks at my property?
There’s a wide range of precautions you can take to avoid water leaks at your property. Staying up to date with regular maintenance of your plumbing systems will go a long way. This includes cleaning out gutters, installing smart main shutoff valves and booking regular inspections from a licensed plumber.
