Specialized Forensic Diagnostic Services
-
Slab Leak Detection
Our specialized Slab Leak Detection service utilizes high-frequency Acoustic Soil Probes to pinpoint water egress hidden beneath your property's foundation. This non-invasive technology allows our technicians to "hear" the specific frequency of a pressurized pipe burst through layers of concrete and steel reinforcement. By accurately locating the leak before any work begins, we ensure your structural integrity is maintained, allowing for surgical repairs without the need to lift or destroy expensive floor tiles.
-
Roof & Balcony Leaks
To solve complex ingress issues, we deploy advanced Thermal Imaging (FLIR) technology for comprehensive Roof & Balcony Leak investigations. By detecting minute temperature variances caused by moisture, our forensic cameras allow us to visualize water tracking paths within ceiling cavities and behind internal membranes that are invisible to the naked eye. This data-driven approach removes the guesswork, providing you with a clear map of structural vulnerabilities and preventing long-term mould growth.
-
External Mains
For large-scale properties and garden areas, we utilize Tracer Gas (Hydrogen) to identify "silent" leaks in External Mains and recycled water systems. This process involves introducing a safe, food-grade gas into the pipeline, which escapes at the point of failure and rises through the soil to be detected by our sensitive "sniffer" probes. This method is the industry gold standard for locating deep underground leaks in mains pressure lines where acoustic methods may be hampered by ambient environmental noise.
-
Stormwater
Our Stormwater diagnostics feature high-definition CCTV Pipe Inspection to provide a real-world view of your underground infrastructure. By navigating robotic cameras through your drainage network, we can visualize precise blockages, tree root intrusions, and structural cracks in deep underground piping. Every inspection comes with a comprehensive digital report, allowing Sydney homeowners and strata managers to see the exact condition of their pipes and make informed decisions on localized repairs or relining.

Our roof leak detection services provide comprehensive solutions for addressing roof plumbing issues, water performance, and management. We inspect critical areas like flashing, roof surfaces, fixtures, and joints to ensure effective leak prevention and compliance with (NCC) standards. Our team identifies leaks caused by intermittent weather conditions, such as directional or heavy rain, that can cause water intrusion in vulnerable areas. With a focus on both immediate and long-term solutions, we help manage roof leaks efficiently, protecting your property from water damage and preserving its structural integrity through expert, compliant roof leak detection practices.
Balcony Leaks
Our balcony leak detection services address a wide range of balcony issues, from waterproofing failures to plumbing and building defects that can compromise structure and safety. Using advanced techniques like flood testing, thermal imaging, and substrate inspections, we accurately identify sources of leaks and performance issues. Our team ensures compliance with National Construction Code (NCC) standards, examining workmanship and water management practices to prevent future leaks. With detailed recommendations and remedial solutions, we focus on protecting your balcony’s integrity, offering targeted solutions for both immediate repairs and long-term waterproofing and water management effectiveness.
Slab Heave & Rising Damp
Our slab heave and rising damp services focus on diagnosing and providing remedial solutions for structural issues caused by ground movement and moisture infiltration. Signs of slab heave and rising damp include severe wall cracking, damaged renders, uneven tiles, and stair-step cracks in brickwork. Windows and doors may also become difficult to open or close as the building shifts. Our solutions include underpinning, chemical injections, and resistance piers to stabilize the foundation, as well as repairing or replacing failing damp-proof courses. We provide targeted treatments to protect your property from further damage, restoring both the stability and integrity of affected areas.
Arial Asset Surveys
Our drone building inspection services offer specialized assessments of roof plumbing compliance, defect detection, and adherence to National Construction Code (NCC) standards. Equipped for aerial surveys and thermography, we provide high-quality inspections of residential, commercial, and civil assets. Utilizing drones allows us to access difficult areas and capture detailed images, identifying issues without the need for scaffolding or ladders.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a hidden water leak in my Sydney home?
If you suspect a leak but cannot see it, check your water meter. If the dial is spinning while all taps are off, you have a concealed leak. Contact 1300 FINDLEAK for Acoustic Leak Detection; we use high-gain microphones to listen for the sound of pressurized water escaping pipes underground or behind walls.
What should I do if water is coming through my ceiling?
Turn off your main water meter immediately.
Switch off power to the affected area to avoid electrical fire.
Call an emergency leak detector in Sydney on 1300 346 353. We use Thermal Imaging to trace the water back to the source, whether it's a burst pipe or a failed waterproofing membrane.
Do you offer gas leak detection in the Northern Beaches?
Yes. Our licensed gas plumbers use electronic sniffers and tracer gas to locate even the smallest gas leaks, ensuring your property meets all safety standards and avoiding high utility costs.
