Step One:
Initial Assessment

Our first step is to use specialised acoustic sensors to listen for the distinct sounds of a leak. This method allows our highly knowledgeable licensed plumbers to perform a full check of your plumbing system and confirm a leak's presence without any disruption to your property. This will be completed inside and outside of your home.

Step Two:

Pinpointing the Leak

Using a multi sensor acoustic kit, our team will pinpoint the leak's exact location. Each sensor is unique in its ability to find a leak in different environments, from inside walls to underneath floors and even in soft soil types. Visual signal bars on our display screen allow us to confirm the leak location without guesswork.

Step Three:

Accurate Repair

Once the leak has been precisely located, our plumbers can then perform a targeted repair. This completely avoids the need for unnecessary digging or extensive damage to your property, saving you significant time and money on restorations.

Common Issues Our Leak Detectors Find

A hidden leak can exist anywhere in your home's plumbing system, often in places that are impossible to access without specialised tools. Our advanced acoustic leak detectors are designed to pinpoint a wide range of common leaks, both hidden and visible, with pinpoint accuracy.

Pressurised Pipe Leaks

We can accurately detect leaks in both hot and cold water pipes, which are the most common source of hidden leaks and water wastage. This is a crucial service that can prevent significant damage and save you from unexpectedly high water bills.

Leaks Behind Walls and Under Slabs

Our multi sensor technology is designed to find leaks that are hidden behind plasterboard, under timber flooring, or beneath concrete foundations. Our advanced equipment allows us to pinpoint the problem without the need for destructive digging.

Underground Pipe Leaks

The steel probe and outdoor sensor are specifically designed to find leaks in underground water mains, stormwater pipes, or irrigation lines without the need for extensive excavation. This saves you from costly and messy investigations.

Plumbing Fixture Leaks

Our smaller wall sensors can be used in hard to reach, confined spaces like inside walls, beneath cabinets, or within toilet cisterns to find quiet leaks that might otherwise go unnoticed. This ensures every part of your system is checked.
