Family-run since 2015 · VIC, NSW & QLD
About 1300 FINDLEAKA family-run leak detection business, not a franchise.
Since 2015, 1300 FINDLEAK has specialised in one thing: finding hidden water and gas leaks without digging up floors, smashing tiles or guessing. Our licensed technicians work across Melbourne and regional Victoria, Sydney and Wollongong, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and every job ends with a written report your plumber, builder, strata manager or insurer can act on.
Our story
1300 FINDLEAK was founded in 2015 by plumber Mason Schulze, and it's still run by the Schulze family, with directors Oliver Schulze (building) and Michael Schulze (civil and commercial). Our head office is in Parkdale, Melbourne, and our teams are based in Parkdale and Moorooduc in Victoria, Seaforth in Sydney and Hope Island on the Gold Coast.
We built the business around a simple idea: a leak should be found and proven before anyone opens a wall, lifts tiles or digs up a yard. That means homeowners, property managers and insurers get a clear answer and a targeted repair, not a renovation on a guess.
How we work
- We test, not guess. Our technicians use pressure testing, acoustic listening, tracer gas, thermal imaging, moisture mapping, and dye and flood tests, choosing the right method for the leak.
- We mark the leak on site and explain the cause before we leave.
- You get a written report with photos, test results, the cause and a recommended repair scope, referencing the National Construction Code and Australian Standards where relevant.
- Repairs are separate. If you'd like us to fix it, we quote the repair and return at another time to complete it.
- Found or you don't pay*. If we can't find the leak you booked us for, you don't pay for the inspection.
*Conditions apply. Read our guarantee terms.
