Reliable and Transparent Leak Detection Services

As highly experienced plumbers, we know that leaks and the amount of damage they can cause can be unpredictable. We understand how confusing it can be to navigate the flood of online offers for leak detection services. Many plumbers advertise enticing deals like "no call-out fees" or "pensioner discounts" to get their foot in the door, often exaggerating the problem to upsell unnecessary services. Unlike these tactics, we pride ourselves on a transparent and straightforward approach. Our pricing for residential inspections in metro areas starts at just $398 (including GST), with an additional $168 for every extra hour if required. This fee covers a professional technician equipped with advanced leak detection technology, ensuring an evidence-based diagnosis without any guesswork.

Factors That Affect Leak Detection Costs
Several factors can influence the cost of leak detection services, each contributing to the time and resources required for accurate diagnosis. The location and accessibility of the leak, for instance, play a major role; hidden leaks behind walls, underground, or within plumbing systems often require specialized equipment like thermal imaging or tracer gas detection. Additionally, the size and type of property can affect pricing, as larger or multi-level properties may require more extensive inspections. The severity of the issue also impacts cost, as leaks involving multiple sources or widespread water damage typically need more in-depth surveys. By understanding these factors, you can better anticipate leak detection costs and the scope of work needed to protect your property.

Your 4-Step Process for Precision Leak Detection Across Australia!
When you call 1300 FINDLEAK, you aren't just getting a quick look or affordable leak detection prices; you're getting a comprehensive, four-stage process backed by No Guesswork, just results. We are your Australia-wide trusted experts for Water Leak Detection and repair guidance. Here is how we pinpoint and solve your leak issues, from a burst main to a tricky balcony leak:
-
The process starts with you. Your initial call or online booking is crucial. We take the time to fully understand the issue. You'll share any relevant information, photos, or historical data about the leak, ingress, or water loss. This crucial pre-inspection debrief allows our technicians to arrive prepared, armed with context to make the subsequent inspection faster and more accurate.
-
We never rely on guesswork. Our technicians deploy the latest leak detection tools and technology to pinpoint the source and is non-invasive. This powerful toolkit includes:
Electro-Acoustic Listening Devices
Tracer Gas detection
Thermal Imaging cameras
Moisture Surveys and Dye Testing
Water Based Testing to Replicate Leak for evidence and confirmation.
Flood Testing of all balconies, including those with no floor drains or those situated on concrete floors, to verify waterproofing integrity.
We use these methods for precise detection across various applications:
a: Water Loss: Pinpointing faults in burst water mains and fire services across residential, commercial, and civil settings.
b: Building Ingress: Identifying all types of internal and external building leaks, including hidden, intermittent, and performance-related issues. We locate sources in compromised roofs, persistent wall leaks, faulty showers and bathrooms, pervasive rising damp, failing windows and doors, and resolve tricky pool and spa leaks in both residential and commercial settings.
-
Once the exact location is pinpointed, we move to diagnosis. We analyze all gathered data (visual assessment including messurement and gradients, thermal images, acoustic readings, moisture and drone survey etc.) to determine the root cause of the defect. We then generate a detailed leak detection report. This report is meticulously structured, outlining the defects found, checking for compliance, and referencing the NCC (National Construction Code) where necessary, providing you with the necessary documentation for insurance purposes or contractor quotes.
-
Finding the leak is only half the battle—fixing it correctly is the goal. In the final stage, we assist in the remedial and repair planning process. We leverage our trusted network to refer you to relevant, qualified trades who specialize in the required repair (plumbing, waterproofing, roofing, etc.). We offer continued support and guidance throughout this phase, assisting in assessing the scope of works, reviewing quotations, and ensuring the repairs are executed correctly, post-repair.
