On the job with PantherHow 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
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.
Isolate and test
We isolate sections of the pipework to narrow down the leaking line.
Pinpoint the source
We use acoustic, thermal and moisture equipment where it suits the leak and the building.
Plan the repair
We explain the access needed, the repair and the cost before anything is opened.
Your property
Your property and the work
Sydney City includes terraces, apartments, mixed-use buildings and commercial premises. 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.

Before you book
Your questions, answered
Questions about leak detection in Sydney City.
Tell us about your jobWhat affects the cost of leak detection in Sydney City?
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.
