What We Handle Under Water Leak Detection
This covers tracking down leaks that aren't visible or obvious, then fixing what caused them.
- Meter testing. Isolating the property to confirm whether a leak's actually there before we go further.
- Acoustic and thermal detection. Proper equipment to pinpoint a leak without guessing where to dig or cut.
- Slab and wall leaks. Tracing supply lines that run under concrete or behind sheeting.
- Outdoor leaks. Irrigation lines, pool feeds and buried pipe runs get the same treatment.
Is It Time to Call a Plumber?
A rising water bill with no explanation. If usage hasn't changed but the bill has, something's leaking somewhere on your side of the meter.
A meter that won't stop spinning. Turn every tap off in the house and watch the meter. If it keeps moving, there's a leak in the system.
Dampness that has no obvious cause. A wet patch on the lawn, a damp wall, or a musty smell with no visible plumbing nearby is worth investigating properly.
The Rouse Hill Angle on This Job
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle. Along Mile End Road and the newer estate streets nearby, a spinning meter with every tap off is often the only clue, especially where a supply line sits under a slab rather than behind a visible wall.
In the townhouse and unit stock clustered through these streets, a slow leak inside a shared wall cavity can run for weeks before anyone notices the water bill creeping up.
Detached homes on the larger blocks tend to show a different pattern: an unexplained wet or soft spot in the yard, well away from any visible tap or drain.
What Affects the Price of Water Leak Detection
The detection visit is quoted upfront regardless of what we find. What changes after that is the repair itself.
- Where the leak actually sits, and how accessible that location is.
- Whether it's under a slab, behind a wall, or out in the yard.
- The type of pipe and fitting involved.
- Whether the fix is a targeted patch or a full section of pipe.
How We Work Through Water Leak Detection
- We take your call, get the key details of the water leak detection problem, and arrange a visit.
- A licensed plumber assesses water leak detection on site and pins down the real cause.
- You get a fixed price for water leak detection upfront, agreed before any work starts.
- We complete the water leak detection work, with the labour backed by our lifetime warranty.
Most detection visits wrap up in a couple of hours once the gear's set up and running. A straightforward spot repair can often follow in the same visit, while a longer run replacement is typically a separate scheduled job, and we'll say which applies before we start.
Along the townhouse rows near Mile End Road, tracing a shared-wall leak sometimes means a short, honest conversation with a neighbour before we open anything up, which we factor into how the visit runs.
Gear That Actually Finds the Leak
Opening up the wrong section of wall or slab costs more than the detection visit ever would, which is why we lean on acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging before anything gets cut.
Acoustic gear picks up the sound of water moving through a pipe under pressure, even through concrete or tile. Thermal imaging shows the temperature difference a leak leaves behind, useful for spotting a hot-water line leaking inside a wall.
Between the two, most leaks get narrowed down to a small, specific area before anything gets opened up.
Standards and Safety, Explained Simply
NSW law reserves plumbing work, tracing and repairing leaks included, for a licensed plumber. Anything involving gas piping specifically needs a licensed gas fitter instead.
We won't guess at a fix. If a leak needs opening a wall or lifting flooring to reach, we'll explain that plainly before we start, not after.
What You Get When We Do This Job
Licensed plumbers and gas fitters handle every leak, so whatever the cause, one team can see it through properly.
That's backed by 300+ five-star reviews from people whose leak actually got found, not just guessed at.
When a Repair Follows Detection
Finding the leak is only half the job. With the cause confirmed, most repairs fall into one of a few categories: a fitting swap, a short section of pipe replaced, or a longer run relined without digging up the whole yard.
A pinhole leak in an old section of copper pipe is usually a quick, targeted repair. A failed joint under a slab can mean a small, careful cut to reach it rather than a full excavation.
Whichever it turns out to be, the repair gets priced separately once we actually know what we're dealing with, never guessed at up front.
Related Jobs and the Areas We Cover
A hidden leak sometimes turns out to be a slow burst or leaking pipe, or shows up alongside hot water repairs if the leak's on a hot line. We also cover Box Hill, Kellyville and The Ponds.
Get in Touch for a Fixed Upfront Price
Left alone, a hidden leak keeps costing money and can eventually damage flooring or a wall cavity. It's worth chasing down before that happens.

Common questions
Common Water Leak Detection Questions
Who is responsible if the problem is in the public main?
Anything from your property up to the point of connection is your responsibility, and ours to trace and fix. Past that point, it sits with the water authority, not you.
Do you leave my place safe after water leak detection?
Yes, we make good anything we've opened up to trace the leak and clear away debris before we go. You won't be left with a half-finished job.
Is water leak detection a quick job or a long one?
Tracing usually takes an hour or two on site with proper equipment. Fixing what we find can be quick or involved, and we'll quote that part separately once we know the cause.
Is the water leak detection quote fixed before work begins?
The detection visit itself is quoted upfront. Once we've found the cause, you get a separate fixed price for the repair before we touch anything further.
How do I know it's actually a hidden leak?
A water bill that's crept up with no obvious reason, a meter that keeps spinning with every tap off, or a damp patch with no clear source are the usual tells.
Does the $65 first-service offer apply to water leak detection?
Yes, $65 off your first service applies to water leak detection the same as any other job, provided you book as a new customer through our site.
