Common questions

How long does water leak detection take?

Most leaks are found within the first hour. Long underground lines, slab leaks or more than one leak can take longer, and we'll tell you before going past the first hour.

Will you need to dig or break tiles?

No. We find the leak first with non-invasive equipment, so only one small area needs to be opened for the repair.

Can your report help with a high water bill?

Yes. Most water retailers have a leak allowance or concealed leak policy, and our report shows where the leak was and what caused it, which supports your application.

Do you repair the leak as well?

Yes, if you'd like us to. Our first visit is about finding the leak: we mark it, explain the cause and give you a report. Many plumbers, builders and property managers then do their own repairs. If you want us to fix it, we'll quote the repair and return at another time to complete it, often with trusted independent trades.
