Leak Detection Adelaide |
Find Hidden Water Leaks Without Digging
A hidden water leak does not announce itself. It shows up as a water bill that does not make sense, a patch of carpet that never quite dries, or a faint sound of running water when every tap in the house is off.
We provide leak detection services across Adelaide using non-invasive equipment that locates the leak before anything gets cut open or dug up. We find leaks under concrete slabs, behind wall cavities, beneath floors, under driveways and along underground supply lines.
Blocked Drains in Adelaide?
We Find the Cause, Not Just the Blockage
Most blocked drains in Adelaide can be cleared in under an hour. The question that matters is whether it will block again in three months. Every job we attend includes a camera check of the line where the cause is not obvious from the fixture, so you find out whether you had a one-off blockage or a pipe problem that will keep coming back.
How We Find Leaks Without Digging
Locating a leak accurately is the difference between one small repair and a week of exploratory demolition. We use several methods together, because no single method works on every leak or every material.
Where Hidden Leaks Usually Are
Under a concrete slab
Slab leaks are the hardest to spot and the most expensive to ignore. Warm flooring, a hot water system cycling more than it should, and hairline cracks appearing in tiles are the usual signs. We locate these acoustically so the repair can be a targeted cut rather than a lifted floor.
Behind a wall
Shower recesses, kitchen and laundry walls and bathroom plumbing chases. Water tracks down inside the cavity and often first appears in the next room or on the ceiling below.
Underground between the meter and the house
The supply line from the meter is the property owner’s responsibility, and a leak on it runs continuously onto the bill. Soft ground, one patch of grass greener than the rest, or water tracking along a driveway edge are the signs.
Under a driveway, path or paving
Locating accurately matters most here, because the alternative to a pinpoint is breaking up concrete and guessing.
Roofs, balconies and upper floors
Water appearing on a ceiling with no bathroom above it can be roof plumbing, a balcony membrane, or condensation rather than a burst pipe. We identify which before anything is opened up.
In the yard or garden
A wet patch that never dries out, especially through an Adelaide summer, generally means an irrigation line or the underground mains.
What Leak Detection Costs in Adelaide?
Leak detection is quoted separately from the repair, because until the leak is located nobody can price the fix honestly. What the detection costs depends on how much of the property has to be covered and which methods the leak requires. A single suspected line under a bathroom floor is a different job from tracing an underground main across a block.
What you can expect from us:
- An upfront price for the detection before we start, not an hourly rate that runs on
- The exact location marked, with photographs
- A written report you can keep, send to an insurer, or give to another trade
- A separate quote for the repair, which you are free to accept or decline
The reason detection is worth paying for separately is straightforward. An accurate location turns a repair into one targeted access point.
