Leak Detection
Can't find where your water is going? We use thermal imaging, acoustic listening equipment and tracer gas to locate any leak — under slabs, behind walls, underground — without unnecessary damage.
After a leak was detected near my driveway, Kevin very carefully jack-hammered through and found the leaking pipe. He removed the pipe, replaced it with a new one, cemented over it and very neatly finished the surface. Kevin is an excellent plumber and problem solver — I would recommend him for any plumbing job.
Leak Detection
We don't guess. We use the most advanced non-invasive detection technology available to pinpoint the exact source of your leak before anything is opened up.
Thermal Imaging Cameras We detect temperature differences behind walls, under floors and in ceilings — invisible to the naked eye but impossible to hide from thermal imaging.
Acoustic Listening Equipment Our Sewerin acoustic ground microphones listen for the distinctive sound of water escaping under pressure — even through concrete slabs and compacted soil.
Tracer Gas Detection We inject a harmless hydrogen/nitrogen mix into your pipes. The gas escapes at the exact point of the leak and is detected by a sensitive electronic sniffer.
No Unnecessary Damage We locate the leak first, then open up only the exact spot required. No exploratory cutting, no guesswork, no mess.
Leak Found or It's FREE* If we attend and run our full investigation and can't find the source, you don't pay. It applies to residential properties only, and the leak must be over 10 litres per hour.
QBCC Licensed Plumbers We're not just leak detectors — we're licensed plumbers who can also carry out the repair once the leak is found.
