Why leaks are hard to find in Campbellfield
Campbellfield is a suburb in the City of Hume, about 13 km north of the Melbourne CBD. About 5,000 people live here, alongside one of Melbourne's big industrial areas, including the former Ford Broadmeadows assembly plant, which ran from 1959 to 2016. The bluestone Scots Church dates from 1855.
Factories, warehouses and yards have long private water mains, fire services and amenities, where a leak can run for months before anyone notices. Homes have ageing copper pipes and shower waterproofing, and reactive clay can crack walls when a pipe leaks. The first sign is often a higher water bill, a wet patch in a yard or car park, damp floors or a meter that never stops. We find the exact source, so only a small area needs to be opened for the repair.

Campbellfield leak detection FAQs
How much does leak detection cost in Campbellfield?
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 $198 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 Yarra Valley 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 Campbellfield?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 on 1300 346 353. Same-day appointments are often available across Campbellfield, Coolaroo, Thomastown and Hume.
Do you work on shops, offices and apartment blocks?
Yes. We find leaks in private water mains, fire services, plant rooms, car parks and roofs, and can work around your trading hours. Owners corporation and property managers get a clear report on the source.
Can a leaking pipe cause cracks in my walls?
Yes. On reactive clay soils, a leaking water or sewer pipe can make the ground swell and shrink, which can move footings and crack walls. We find the leak with tracer gas and acoustic listening so it can be fixed before more damage is done.
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 Yarra Valley Water for help with a bill caused by a hidden leak.
