Thermal Imaging Leak Detection Melbourne:
We use advanced FLIR infrared cameras to track hidden thermal moisture signatures, tracing water ingress behind walls and ceilings without peeling paint or tearing down drywall.

Our high-gain electro-acoustic listening devices allow us to isolate the precise sonic frequency of an underground water burst through concrete slabs and driveways.
Tracer Gas Leak Detection:
For deep underfloor plumbing lines and structural cavities, we inject a safe, food-grade tracer gas mixture that rises through building materials to be caught instantly by our sensitive electronic "sniffer" probes.

High-definition diagnostic cameras are threaded directly into your sewer and stormwater systems to provide real-time visual proof of structural cracks, collapsed pipes, or tree root intrusions.
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.

Hawthorn Plumbing FAQ
Why is my water bill so high when I cannot see a physical leak?
If you receive an unexpectedly high bill from Yarra Valley Water but your property appears dry, you likely have a concealed underground or sub-slab leak. Check your water meter while all household appliances are turned off. If the dial is spinning, contact our hidden water leak detection Hawthorn team immediately for acoustic and tracer gas isolation.
Can you locate an underfloor water leak without cutting into my floorboards?
Yes. Through non-invasive underfloor water leak detection combining tracer gas sniffing and infrared thermal imaging, we map the water profile through parquetry, carpet, and timber floors. This allows us to perform targeted, surgical repairs exactly where the pipe has failed without destroying your flooring.
What should I do during a water through ceiling emergency in Hawthorn?
First, immediately turn off your property's main water meter at the front boundary to stop pressure flow. Next, isolate electricity to the affected rooms if water is pooling near light fixtures. Finally, contact our 24/7 emergency leak detection Hawthorn team on 1300 346 353 for urgent forensic tracing and burst pipe repair.
