WATER DETECTION EQUIPMENT:

  • Many leaks create sound — even when they’re not audible to the human ear. Our acoustic equipment amplifies and pinpoints these sounds, allowing us to accurately locate leaks hidden behind walls, underground, or beneath concrete.

  • Thermal cameras detect temperature variations across surfaces, making them highly effective for identifying hot water leaks. We can also introduce hot water into cold lines to trace and identify leaks within cold water systems.

  • Moisture meters help us identify the wettest areas within walls and floors, guiding us to the most likely leak location. This also helps determine whether the issue is a pressurised water leak or a waterproofing failure (such as in a shower).

  • By pressurising your plumbing system, we can determine the severity of a leak and confirm whether a system is losing pressure. This helps us choose the most effective detection method moving forward.

  • This is one of the most precise leak detection methods available. We remove water from the pipe system and introduce a specialised, non-toxic gas. Because the gas is extremely fine, it can escape through even the smallest leaks and travel through walls, flooring, and concrete, allowing us to detect otherwise invisible leaks.


    This method is typically used when other techniques have been unsuccessful.

EXCESSIVE WATER BILL?

LET’S GET THAT CREDITED BACK TO YOU!

Unexpectedly High Water Bill? We Can Help you with high water bill leak detection. If you’ve received a large water bill due to a leak, it’s understandably frustrating. The good news is, you may be eligible for a credit. For home leak detection, once we’ve repaired the leak, we’ll provide you with a detailed invoice as proof of the work completed. You can then submit this to the Water Corporation, who will assess your claim and, in many cases, credit the excess charges back to your account.

Please note:


This process generally only applies to unusually high water bills caused by leaks and does not extend to gas leaks.

GAS DETECTION EQUIPMENT

  • Sensitive gas detection devices identify even trace amounts of gas in the air, allowing us to pinpoint leak locations quickly and accurately.

  • These instruments measure gas pressure within the system. A drop in pressure indicates a leak, helping us confirm its presence and severity.

  • By introducing compressed air into the gas line, we can safely increase pressure and identify leaks based on pressure loss or audible detection methods.

  • Gas leaks are often caused by faulty or deteriorating appliances. We carry out tightness testing on appliances to ensure they are safe and compliant — particularly important in commercial environments.

  • A safe, visible smoke is introduced into pipework, allowing us to visually identify where gas is escaping. This is especially useful for locating leaks in concealed or hard-to-access areas.
