Hidden leaks are one of the most expensive and damaging problems a homeowner can face. A slow leak under your slab can go undetected for months while quietly causing structural damage, rising damp and mould — all while your water bill climbs.
Traditional leak finding involved breaking up tiles, cutting open walls and excavating slabs until the leak was found. Modern leak detection does it differently — we use specialist equipment to locate the leak precisely before a single tile is lifted.
Sensitive ground microphones and listening equipment detect the sound frequency of water escaping from pipes, even through concrete slabs and compacted soil. Accurate to within centimetres in favourable conditions.
Infrared thermal cameras detect temperature differences in walls and floors caused by moisture from a hidden leak. Especially effective for pipe leaks behind tiles, within wall cavities and under flooring.
Hydraulic pressure testing isolates sections of pipework to confirm whether a leak is present and its approximate location within the plumbing system.
For drain and sewer leaks, a waterproof camera reveals cracked or displaced joints, root intrusion, and fractures from the inside of the pipe without excavation.
A slab leak wasting 50 litres per hour accumulates substantial water charges every month — before you even start on the structural repair. Early detection is always cheaper than waiting.
