Why leaks are hard to find in Point Piper
Point Piper is a small harbourside peninsula in the Municipality of Woollahra, about 6 km east of the Sydney CBD, between Rose Bay and Double Bay. It has only 11 streets and about 1,300 residents, and is home to some of the most expensive waterfront homes in Australia.
Large waterfront homes bring their own leak risks. Salt air corrodes external taps, valves and fittings. Lower levels, garages and plant rooms sit close to the waterline and next to rock, so water tracks in from several directions. Water features and irrigation add many metres of hidden pipe, and finishes such as marble, stone and timber make exploratory cutting very expensive. We find the exact source quickly and discreetly, so only a small area needs to be opened for the repair.

High Sydney Water bill?
Sydney Water supplies Point Piper and is responsible for pipes up to your meter. Leaks on your side of the meter are the owner's responsibility. If a hidden leak has pushed up your bill, Sydney Water's hidden leak allowance can credit 50% of the water usage charge for the most affected quarter, once every five years per property. Our report shows where the leak was and what caused it, which supports your application. Download our free leak credit claim checklist.

Point Piper leak detection FAQs
How much does leak detection cost in Point Piper?
It starts from $398 inc. GST for the first hour on site, including thermal imaging, acoustic and tracer gas equipment and an insurance-ready PDF report. Extra time, if needed, is $168 per hour. Most single leaks are found within the first hour, and we give you a free phone quote before we book.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, then check your water meter. If the dial is still moving, water is escaping somewhere. Other signs include a higher Sydney Water bill, damp walls or skirting boards, a musty smell, mould or warm spots on a tiled floor.
Do you offer emergency leak detection in Point Piper?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 on 1300 346 353. Same-day appointments are often available across Point Piper, Rose Bay, Bellevue Hill and Double Bay.
Can you find a leak without damaging marble, stone or timber?
Yes. We use thermal imaging, acoustic listening, tracer gas and moisture mapping to find the leak from the surface, then mark the exact spot. Only that small area is opened for the repair.
Can you work with our property manager or builder?
Yes. We arrange access with your property manager, housekeeper or builder, work discreetly, and send the report to you and anyone you nominate.
Will my report help with an insurance claim or a high water bill?
Yes. Every job includes a PDF report with photos, readings and the cause of the leak. Insurers use it to assess resultant damage claims, and it supports an application to Sydney Water for help with a bill caused by a hidden leak.
