What We Handle Under Water Leak Detection
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle. Here's what this job typically covers.
- The meter dial still turning over after every tap and appliance is off.
- Damp patches on walls, ceilings or floors with no obvious source.
- A quarter's water charges climbing well past normal household use.
- Suspected slab leaks running under the floor of the house.
- Leaks hidden in wall cavities behind tiling or plasterboard.
Is It Time to Call a Plumber?
Some leaks are urgent, others are worth investigating properly rather than rushing.
Everything off but the dial still moving deserves a same-day call, since real water is disappearing somewhere out of sight. Spreading damp, a musty smell or staining paintwork points toward structural trouble building underneath.
Higher charges with no visible sign anywhere still deserve a look, even before a symptom shows up inside the house. Water you can already see pooling belongs on our burst and leaking pipes page instead.
Water Leak Detection and Bonnyrigg's Older Housing
Cartwright Street runs through some of the original 1960s and 1970s estate, brick-veneer and fibro homes built on slab or low-set footings. That kind of footing makes a hidden leak genuinely hard to spot from above.
Water travels sideways under a slab long before it ever shows as a damp patch indoors. Newer, rendered homes from the Newleaf years sit on more modern slabs, but their pipework is only as sound as the fittings that went into it at the time.
Whichever era the house is, a leak is usually well established by the time it's visible. Pinning down the real source first avoids opening up more of the floor than the job actually needs.
Reading the Signs Before You Call
A few checks help before you pick up the phone, without needing any tools of your own.
- Note the meter reading, turn everything off for an hour, then check it again.
- Feel for warm spots underfoot, since a hot water pipe leaking beneath the slab often shows up as heat first.
- Check the water bill history if you have it, since a sudden jump is a useful clue.
- Avoid digging or lifting tiles yourself; it rarely finds the real source and can make the repair harder.
What Affects the Price of Water Leak Detection
A short list of things shapes the quote for this job.
- Which equipment the leak actually needs, acoustic, thermal or pressure testing.
- Whether the leak's under a slab, in a wall, or in the yard.
- How accessible the suspected area is once we've narrowed it down.
- Whether detection and repair happen in the same visit.
We keep the detection quote separate from any repair quote, so the decision on fixing it stays entirely yours once the source is confirmed.
How We Work Through Water Leak Detection
- Step 1: we listen first. We listen, get the picture of your water leak detection issue, and book the visit.
- Step 2: no hidden reasoning. On arrival, we show you what's driving the water leak detection so you're never guessing.
- Step 3: a clear number. You get a plain-English fixed quote for the water leak detection.
- Step 4: finished and explained. We complete the water leak detection, explain it, and back it for life.
Straightforward detection jobs are usually wrapped up in one visit; a leak buried deep under a slab can take extra time to isolate accurately.
Done Right, and Done to Code
Under NSW rules, both locating a drinking-water leak and repairing it are licensed plumbing work, not a job a homeowner may legally tackle. That means tracing the source correctly and making sure the repair itself meets code.
We use equipment that lets us confirm a leak's exact position before cutting into anything, which keeps the job inside what's actually needed rather than open-ended guesswork.
What You Get When We Do This Job
Advanced leak-detection equipment means we're not opening up walls or slabs on a hunch, we're working from what the gear actually shows us.
The fixed price covers the detection itself, agreed before we start, with a lifetime labour warranty on any repair work that follows.
Related Jobs and the Areas We Cover
Once a leak's confirmed, the repair itself usually sits under burst and leaking pipes, or hot water repairs if the unit turns out to be the source.
We cover Bonnyrigg plus Edensor Park, St Johns Park and Abbotsbury on the same rotation.

Common questions
Your Water Leak Detection FAQs
The questions we're asked most often about tracking down a hidden leak.
Can I check your credentials for water leak detection?
Yes, ask on the call or check Lic #465156C against the NSW licence register yourself. We're happy for you to check.
How do I use the $65 off for water leak detection?
Detection work qualifies the same as any other first booking; the discount is deducted once we've priced the callout.
What equipment do you use for water leak detection?
Acoustic listening gear, thermal imaging and pressure testing, depending on where the leak's hiding. That's what lets us pinpoint it without digging up half the yard to look.
Do I need a licensed plumber for water leak detection?
Yes, NSW rules put both the tracing and the eventual repair in a licensed plumber's hands. It's also simply easier to get right with proper detection gear on hand.
How quickly can you come out for water leak detection?
Usually the same day, sooner still if the leak's actively causing damage. We'd rather give you a fair read on timing than a figure we can't back up.
Can you come out for water leak detection at night?
Yes, a real person answers around the clock. A meter that won't stop spinning at midnight is exactly the kind of call we take.
