How we can help

Practical help with a water leak

We investigate concealed and underground water leaks, narrowing down the source before repair access is planned. A damp patch or the sound of running water is a clue, not the exact position of the leak, so we test before anything is opened.

  • Leaks behind walls and under floors
  • Leaks under slabs, paving and driveways
  • Underground water service leaks
  • Shower and bathroom leaks into other rooms
  • Unexplained increases in the water bill
  • Repairs once the leak is located

Understanding the job

Signs worth investigating

Failed joints and fittings

Joints in walls and under floors can weep for months before the damage shows.

Damaged underground pipes

Tree roots, ground movement and old pipe material can break the water service between the meter and the house.

Shower and waste leaks

A failed seal or waste connection lets water escape into the walls and floor around a shower.

What to expect

From first call to finished work

  1. Check water use

    With taps, appliances and other water users off, continuing meter movement can indicate a leak. We check what is connected before drawing a conclusion.

  2. Isolate and test

    We isolate sections of the pipework to narrow down the leaking line.

  3. Pinpoint the source

    We use acoustic, thermal and moisture equipment where it suits the leak and the building.

  4. Plan the repair

    We explain the access needed, the repair and the cost before anything is opened.

Your property

Your property and the work

South West Sydney includes family homes, post-war properties, apartments, commercial sites and newer estates. The right plumbing approach depends on your particular property, its existing services and the access available.

Record when it happens

Tell us whether the dampness is constant, appears after rain or follows use of a shower or appliance. These observations help separate water-supply, drainage and other possible sources.

Share previous findings

Photos, water-use changes, earlier repairs and any pipe plans can help focus the investigation. In apartments, tell the building manager if water is affecting another lot or common property.

Your questions, answered

Questions about leak detection in Busby.

Tell us about your job
What affects the cost of leak detection in Busby?

A visible pipe leak and a concealed leak require different investigations. Pipe access, the area to be tested and whether surfaces must be opened affect the cost. Locating the leak and repairing it can be separate stages; we explain the findings and repair scope before proceeding.

How can I check for a leak before calling?

Turn off taps and water-using appliances, check that toilet cisterns have finished filling, then watch the water meter. Continuing movement can indicate a leak, but other connected water users need to be ruled out. Tell us what you observed; don’t open walls or floors to look.

Does a damp patch always mean a leaking water pipe?

No. Water can come from supply pipes, waste pipes, fixtures, rain entry or another part of the building. Testing helps identify the source before deciding on a plumbing repair or whether another trade needs to investigate.

What should I tell you about the job?

Whether the water meter moves with every tap off. Where you see damp, mould or warm patches. Any recent plumbing, building or landscaping work. Photos help with planned work; for anything urgent, call 0404 939 121.
