Find the leak,
before it finds you.
Thermal imaging, acoustic listening, tracer-gas. We pin-point hidden leaks to within centimetres — so the repair is precise, not exploratory.
Hidden leaks
leave clues.
By the time you see water, a hidden leak has usually been running for weeks. These are the early signs — every one of them is a reason to book a detection visit before damage compounds.
Talk to a plumberWater bill suddenly higher
A 30%+ jump with no change in usage is almost always a hidden leak. Often a slab or underground supply line.
Damp patches on walls or floors
Discoloured tiles, swollen skirting, soft plaster or that 'wet wall' smell — water is tracking from somewhere out of sight.
Warm spots on the floor
Classic sign of a hot water slab leak. Easy to confirm with thermal imaging, hard to find with a hammer and a guess.
Water meter spins with everything off
Turn every tap and appliance off, watch the meter for 5 minutes. Movement = leak. The location is the next problem to solve.
Mould or peeling paint
Persistent mould in a single spot — especially behind tiles, in robes or in ceilings — usually points to a slow ongoing leak.
Hot water unit running constantly
If your hot water system never seems to rest, you may have a hot supply leak under the slab silently draining the tank.
Find it once, fix it once.
Our four-step detection process is designed to pin-point the source — not to find 'where it's wet'.
- 01
Pressure isolate
We isolate sections of your plumbing to confirm whether the leak is on hot, cold, sewer, stormwater or roof — narrowing the search before any walls come into play.
- 02
Detect
Thermal imaging, acoustic listening gear, tracer-gas and CCTV — whichever combination the leak demands. We use what works, not what's flashy.
- 03
Mark & report
Exact location marked. Written report with images for insurance, including leak source, recommended repair scope and estimated water lost.
- 04
Repair
Targeted, minimal-invasion repair — slab cuts the size of a tile, not a room. Pressure-tested before walls or floors go back.
We'd been chasing a damp patch for months. Asset thermal-imaged it, located the slab leak inside an hour, cut one tile, fixed it, pressure-tested. Insurance approved the report on the spot.
Premium detection, minimal disturbance.
Every detection job uses the right combination of tools. We don't cut walls to look — we cut walls to fix.
Thermal Imaging
FLIR thermal cameras detect temperature variation through tiles, plaster and slab — finding hot water leaks invisibly.
Acoustic Listening
Ground microphones and amplified probes pick up the sound of escaping water through concrete, soil and walls.
CCTV Drain Inspection
For waste-line and stormwater leaks — high-resolution camera locates cracks, displacements and ingress points.
Tracer Gas
Inert gas injection through isolated pipework. Surface detector locates the exact escape point through floor or wall.
Pressure Testing
Section-by-section pressure testing to isolate which pipe run is failing — before any invasive work starts.
Targeted Repair
Once located, repair scope is minimal — single tile cut, slab core, or wall patch. Pressure-tested and tidied properly.

- Detection AND repair, one team.Many 'detection only' companies leave you to find a plumber. We locate AND fix — saving you a second call-out, a second quote and the gap between them.
- Insurance-ready reports.Written report with thermal images, location markup and a leak-source statement — exactly what your insurer asks for, included on every job.
- Premium kit, properly used.FLIR cameras, Sewerin acoustic gear and calibrated pressure testing. The tools are only as good as the plumber reading them — ours have.
- Minimal damage.We locate first, repair second. Slab cuts the size of a single tile. No 'let's open the wall and have a look' guesswork.
