Hills District Leak Detection

The process involves placing acoustic sensors at multiple points along your pipe network and listening for the tell-tale sound signature of a pressurised water escape. Once we triangulate the position, we mark it up and carry out a repair that targets only the affected section.

A water bill that creeps up month after month without any obvious reason is one of the clearest clues that something is leaking in a place you cannot see. Pair that with a faint damp smell, a wall that feels cool and slightly soft to the touch, or a section of ceiling that looks stained, and the case for a hidden leak becomes very strong. We can confirm it with a non-invasive assessment and give you a clear picture of what needs to be fixed.

Hidden leaks can cause surprising amounts of damage in a short period. We offer emergency callout services and aim to be with you on the same day for urgent jobs. Getting a specialist on site quickly is the most reliable way to minimise that damage.

We begin every visit with a quick conversation about what has been happening at your property, so we can focus our equipment where it matters most. Acoustic listening devices pick up the signature sound of escaping water through walls and floors, while thermal imaging reveals temperature differences that point to hidden moisture. Once the leak is located and marked, we give you a full rundown of the repair options available.

The whole point of specialist detection technology is that we find the leak before anything is opened. Acoustic ground microphones and thermal cameras give us a precise fix from the surface, so tiles, gardens, and paving are protected throughout.

Because every fault is different, we base our quote on an honest assessment of the work involved rather than applying one price to all jobs. You will know the full cost before we start, so there are no uncomfortable surprises at the end. Getting on top of a leak early is typically a fraction of the cost of repairing the damage that an undetected leak leaves in its wake.

We carry public liability insurance and all required trade licences, which means the work is compliant, covered and performed to a professional standard every time.

For a standard house we usually complete the detection in a couple of hours. More involved cases, for example where two leaks are present or where pipework has been added over several decades, may need a little longer. We talk you through what we are seeing at each stage so you can follow the process.

Our leak detection crews cover the local area and the suburbs that sit around it, taking on both homes and commercial sites. Should you be uncertain about your location, a brief call will settle it straight away. We are open to travelling further for substantial or complex jobs.

Our workmanship guarantee is one reason customers call us back. The same specialists who run the detection equipment also carry out the repair, and they do not leave until everything is properly watertight. If there are other concerns visible while we are on site, we raise them before we go.
