C Caroline Lowe Google review · Verified ★★★★★

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.

Water Service Repairs

Water Main Leak & Repair

Your water main runs from the street to your home — and when it leaks, the water is entirely on your side of the meter. We find it and fix it fast.

Acoustic Detection We use ground microphones to listen for the sound of water escaping from your main — locating it precisely before any excavation.

Tracer Gas For stubborn mains leaks, tracer gas gives us a definitive location — even in compacted soil or under driveways.

Minimal Excavation We only dig at the confirmed location. Most water service repairs require a single small excavation rather than a trench along the entire pipe run.

Quality Materials We repair mains using quality polyethylene or copper pipe — not temporary patches. The repair is designed to last.

Surface Reinstatement We reinstate any concrete, paving or garden we've opened — leaving your property neat and tidy after the repair.

Unitywater Notifications Received a leak notification from Unitywater? Your smart meter has detected a leak on your side. We can locate and repair it quickly.

Common questions

Water Service Repairs questions

How do I know if my water main is leaking?
Signs include a water meter that ticks even when all taps are off, wet patches on your driveway or lawn on dry days, reduced water pressure, or a Unitywater smart meter notification.
Is the water main my responsibility?
Yes — the section of water main from the water meter to your home is your responsibility as the property owner. Unitywater own and maintain the main up to the meter.
How much does it cost to repair a water main?
The cost depends on the depth and location of the leak and the repair method required. We provide a clear upfront quote before starting any work.
How long will the repair take?
Most water service repairs are completed within a day. We'll give you a clear timeline when we assess the job.
