What affects the cost?
- How many leaks there are. A single leak on one line is the simplest job. Several leaks, or several lines to test, take longer.
- Where the pipe runs. Long underground water mains, pipes under a concrete slab and hot water lines in walls can need more testing time.
- Access. Apartments and strata buildings may need access to the unit above or below, the roof or a plant room.
- Location. Areas outside metro Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast have their own first-hour price, shown above.
