What we do

Our Leak Detection Services

A rising water bill or a damp patch usually points to a hidden leak. We locate the exact source without unnecessary cutting or extra damage to the home.

Hidden Water Leak Detection

A rising water bill or a damp patch usually points to a hidden leak. We locate the exact source without unnecessary cutting or extra damage to the home.

Slab Leak Detection

Slab leaks under concrete-floor homes can hide for months. We use acoustic listening discs and thermal cameras to mark the leak point through the slab without cutting.

Gas Leak Detection

Suspected gas inside the home is a safety call. Our licensed team uses electronic sniffers and pressure testing to confirm the leak, isolate the line, and make the property safe.

Acoustic and Thermal Location

Pinpointing the exact leak position protects your floors and walls. We combine acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and tracer gas to mark the spot before any cutting happens.

Leak Repair After Detection

Once the leak is located, we repair on the same visit where possible. Compliant copper or PEX fittings go in, then we pressure-test the line before leaving the property reset.

Why it matters

Why Quick Leak Detection Matters

A small hidden leak rarely stays small for long. The cost of delay shows up in your floors, your foundations, and your next water bill. Here's what's at stake:

Property damage compounds fast

Wet timber, soaked plasterboard, and lifted flooring start within days of a slow hidden leak. Most of that damage stays invisible until the repair bill arrives.

Water bills climb without warning

A pinhole leak can run nonstop inside the wall cavity. The first sign for many homeowners is a water bill double the usual amount, with no obvious cause inside the home.

Gas leaks are a safety risk

A suspected gas leak is never a wait-and-see job. Even a small leak inside the home creates a fire hazard, which is why our licensed team responds 24/7 across the area.

Slab leaks undermine foundations

Water tracking under the concrete slab can weaken the substrate, wash out sand bedding, and eventually crack the floor. All from a single faulty joint.

Common faults

Common Leak Problems We Fix

These are the leak patterns we run into most often across the area. Three of them tie directly to how the suburb's streets and yards have matured over the decades:

01

Rushed estate-build joints leaking

Volume project-home construction from the early 1990s build-out left a legacy of undersized branch lines and rushed PVC joints. Those joints are now where most hidden water leaks and [blocked drains](/blocked-drains/) show up.

02

Wet subfloors masking real leaks

The shallow water table across the northern Playford plains keeps subfloors damp through winter. That makes it harder to spot whether the moisture is groundwater, stormwater, or a leaking pipe.

03

Hidden wall-cavity water leaks

Pinhole leaks inside wall cavities go unnoticed for months. They surface as a damp patch, a musty smell, or a jump in the water bill before turning into a [burst pipe](/burst-pipes/). Acoustic listening finds the point.

04

Suspected gas leak at appliance

A gas smell near a cooker, hot water unit, or meter is always a job for a licensed [gas fitter](/gas-fitting/). We confirm the leak with electronic sniffers, isolate the line, and make the home safe.

Our process

How Our Leak Detection Process Works

On arrival, we walk the property with you to understand the symptoms, check meter readings, and rule out the obvious before we bring out the acoustic and thermal gear.

1

Initial Assessment

On arrival, we walk the property with you to understand the symptoms, check meter readings, and rule out the obvious before we bring out the acoustic and thermal gear.

2

Leak Location

Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and tracer-gas methods narrow the leak position down to a small target area. We mark it clearly so any cutting stays minimal.

3

Upfront Quote

Before any repair begins, you get a written fixed price covering the detection result, the recommended repair, and the labour warranty that follows the workmanship under our standard terms.

4

Repair and Pressure Test

The line is repaired with compliant fittings, then pressure-tested across the whole section to confirm the leak is gone. We hand the property back cleaned up before leaving.

FAQs

Leak Detection FAQs

The leak detection questions we hear most often from local homeowners. They cover response times, what the gear does, what the price covers, and what to expect during a job:

How quickly can a plumber arrive for a leak in Andrews Farm?

We aim to be on site within the hour for urgent water and gas leaks in the area, where availability allows on the day. For planned bookings, we set a confirmed arrival window.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency gas leak detection?

Yes. Suspected gas leaks are answered around the clock, including weekends and public holidays. Our team confirms the leak with electronic sniffers, isolates the line, and makes the property safe.

How does pricing work for leak detection?

Pricing is fixed and quoted in writing before any leak detection work begins. The quote covers the location method used, any repair recommended after, and the workmanship warranty applied to the line.

What methods do you use to find hidden leaks?

Our team uses acoustic listening discs, thermal imaging cameras, and tracer-gas testing depending on the leak type and location. The goal is to pinpoint the leak position so the repair stays small.

Will I need to dig up the yard or break the slab?

Most jobs do not need any excavation or floor cutting. Acoustic and thermal location pinpoint the leak first, and only the small target section is opened up for the actual repair work.

Are hidden leaks common in homes built in the 1990s estates?

Yes. Volume project-home construction from the early 1990s build-out tends to leave rushed PVC joints and undersized branch lines, which are now the leak points showing up across the Playford growth corridor.
