Water leaks are not always obvious. Many occur underground, within walls, beneath slabs, or behind waterproofing systems where they can cause significant damage before becoming visible.
Our specialised leak detection services are designed to locate the exact source of a leak quickly and accurately, minimising disruption and unnecessary excavation.
We combine advanced technology with practical plumbing knowledge to deliver precise, evidence-based results.
Every investigation begins with a thorough on-site assessment.
We conduct a detailed visual inspection of the property, checking fixtures, fittings, exposed pipework, wet areas, and external grounds for signs of leakage. All water meters are inspected and read to determine abnormal flow patterns. If required, isolation testing is performed to narrow down affected areas.
We document findings with photographic records, providing you with clear evidence and a professional report suitable for insurance claims, strata documentation, or further rectification works.
Our structured inspection eliminates guesswork and ensures that obvious or simple issues are ruled out before progressing to advanced testing.
We use state-of-the-art acoustic listening equipment to detect and pinpoint concealed leaks in pressurised water systems.
Pressurised leaks create distinct sound frequencies as water escapes from pipes. Our specialised ground microphones and listening devices amplify these sounds, allowing us to trace leaks underground, beneath concrete slabs, driveways, and within walls without destructive exploration.
Accurate location reduces unnecessary cutting, excavation, and repair costs.
Pressure testing is one of the most reliable methods of confirming whether a leak exists within a pressurised system.
We also have the capability to pressurise systems that are not currently connected to mains supply, enabling testing during construction or prior to handover.
Pressure testing provides objective, measurable data to confirm or eliminate the presence of a leak.
Infrared camera technology allows us to detect temperature variations associated with moisture.
When water escapes from pipes or waterproofing systems, it often creates thermal differences in surrounding materials. Thermal imaging helps identify concealed moisture behind walls, beneath tiles, or within ceilings without invasive investigation.
Early detection of moisture prevents mould growth, timber damage, and structural deterioration.
Flood testing is commonly used to assess the integrity of waterproofing membranes in showers, bathrooms, balconies, and other wet areas.
The area is temporarily flooded and monitored over a set period to determine whether water escapes beyond the intended containment area.
Spray testing simulates rainfall or shower conditions to identify entry points and leak pathways. It can be used independently or alongside flood testing.
Drain dye may also be introduced to trace the flow path of water and identify the egress point. This technique is especially helpful in complex leak scenarios where water appears far from the original source.
It visually confirms where water is travelling, eliminating assumptions and ensuring the correct repair is carried out.
