Finding Hidden Leaks Fast
Water leaks don’t always show themselves on the surface — and guessing where to dig only adds time and cost. That’s why we use the right tools to detect issues under concrete, behind walls and beneath turf without unnecessary damage. Our team identifies pipe fractures, loose fittings, broken valves and internal leaks with minimal disruption to your home or property.
Once the source is confirmed, we carry out repairs on the spot or advise the next step clearly. We also help with pre-renovation inspections, insurance claims and high water usage investigations.
Every job is treated with urgency, precision and respect for your space. You’ll know what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and how to keep things running smoothly after the repair is complete.
What is involved in professional water leak detection?
Professional leak detection involves using specialised equipment to locate hidden leaks without digging or damaging walls. Plumbers may use acoustic sensors to pick up the sound of escaping water, infrared cameras to detect temperature differences, and pressure tests to isolate problem areas. These methods allow accurate leak identification behind walls, under concrete, or in underground pipes. Once detected, the exact location is marked to guide targeted repairs and minimise property disruption.
Can a small water leak cause major damage?
Yes, even a small water leak can cause significant damage over time. Continuous moisture can lead to mould growth, rotting timber, stained ceilings and weakened structural elements. In some cases, water leaks may affect electrical wiring, creating safety risks. Hidden leaks under floors or in walls can go unnoticed for weeks or months, resulting in expensive repairs. Detecting and fixing leaks early helps protect the home’s integrity and avoids health hazards caused by damp conditions.
How do plumbers find underground water leaks?
To find underground water leaks, plumbers use non-invasive detection tools such as ground microphones, acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging. These tools help pinpoint the location of leaking pipes by detecting sound vibrations, heat differences or moisture in the soil. Once the leak is located, targeted excavation is used to access the pipe without unnecessary digging. This approach reduces damage to driveways, gardens or slabs and allows for quicker, more efficient repairs.
