Leak Detection Perth

Find the leak before the damage gets worse

Not all leaks are obvious. Some show up as a damp patch on a wall, a persistently high water bill, or the sound of running water when everything’s turned off. Others don’t show any visible signs until real damage has been done.

We use leak detection equipment to locate leaks in pipes that are underground, inside walls or under slabs – without pulling everything apart just to find the problem. Once located, we’ll give you a clear picture of what’s involved in fixing it and a price before any work starts.

Getting a leak found and fixed quickly matters. Water damage compounds – the longer a hidden leak goes undetected, the more expensive the repair becomes.

Warning Signs

Signs you might have a hidden leak

Don’t ignore these early warning signs – a hidden leak can quickly become a costly problem.

Higher than usual water bill

An unexplained rise in your water bill is one of the clearest signs of a leak somewhere in the system.

Sound of running water

If you can hear water moving inside walls or under floors when no taps are running, it’s worth investigating.

Damp patches or mould

Unexplained wet spots, mould or discolouration on walls, ceilings or floors with no obvious cause.

Low water pressure

A persistent drop in pressure at taps or showers can indicate a leak in the supply line.

Warm spots on the floor

In homes with under-slab hot water pipes, a warm area on the floor can indicate a pipe leaking beneath the slab.

Meter reading with everything off

Turn off all taps and appliances and check your water meter. If the dial is still moving, water is going somewhere it shouldn’t be.
