Our Leak Detection Packages

Tier 1

Diagnostic

Only

From

$495

inc. GST


Diagnostics is ideal for standard residential properties. Most domestic investigations begin here.

Best suited if:


  • You suspect a leak, but there is no visible damage.
  • You require professional confirmation or a location report before proceeding with repairs.
  • Leak detection & exposure of the leak

Tier 2

Detection & Minor Repair 

From

$895

inc. GST


This is our most common package, designed for a fast resolution without additional trades. Excludes concrete cutting.

Best suited if:


  • The leak needs to be located and repaired during the same visit.
  • Pipework is accessible or shallow.

Tier 3

Complex, Structural, or High-Risk

Assessment required

— quoted after inspection


Our most advanced package includes advanced diagnostics where required for complex, structural, or high-risk tasks.

Best suited if:


  • The leak is beneath concrete, deep pipework, or multiple systems.
  • Previous attempts have failed, or access is restricted.

Hidden Water Leaks Located Accurately

If you suspect a concealed water leak in your home, early diagnosis is critical to prevent structural damage and escalating costs. Many properties have complex pipework within wall cavities, ceilings, and underground supply lines, making expert detection essential. We use professional thermal imaging, tracer gas, and ultrasonic acoustics to pinpoint leaks pre-repair.

Systematic Investigation for High Water Bills

Increased water usage or a spinning meter when fixtures are off signals a hidden supply leak, often in garden lines or under concrete. Our diagnostic process begins with controlled isolation testing and pressure monitoring to confirm the source of water loss. By combining tracer gas detection with acoustic listening, we can pinpoint the exact failure location using minimally invasive techniques, completely eliminating the need for exploratory digging.

In-Wall & Concealed Leak Detection

Water leaks within wall cavities can remain silent for months until visible damage appears, such as:


  • Damp or musty odours
  • Bubbling paint or peeling wallpaper
  • Swelling skirting boards
  • Faint sounds of water movement behind the walls


Using infrared thermal imaging and moisture mapping, we can see through surfaces to trace temperature variations in concealed pipework. This ensures that repair work is targeted directly at the leak, saving your tiles, cabinetry, and plasterboard from unnecessary destruction.

Our Advanced Technology Suite

Accurate domestic leak detection requires more than a visual check. We invest in professional-grade tools to ensure we find what others miss:


  • Thermal Imaging: Identifies heat signatures of escaping water behind surfaces.
  • Tracer Gas: A safe, calibrated gas used to confirm pressure loss in the smallest pinholes.
  • Ultrasonic Acoustics: Highly sensitive microphones that isolate the sound of leaks deep underground.
  • Moisture Mapping: Advanced moisture detection mapping used to trace the hidden flow path of in-wall leaks. Accurately differentiates between damp and saturated areas using precise moisture percentage readings.
