Is It Time to Call a Plumber?
If your water bill has climbed without any change in how you're using the house, that's usually the first clue something's leaking unseen. Other signs worth chasing up:
- Ceiling or wall paint bubbling, staining or gone soft to touch.
- Water running somewhere in the house with every tap shut.
- The meter dial still turning over with nothing switched on.
- A musty, damp smell that lingers no matter how much you air the place out.
- One patch of a slab floor noticeably warmer than the rest, often a sign of a hot water line leaking beneath it.
Ignore a small leak long enough and it stops being small. Where it's already caused visible damage, our burst & leaking pipes team can step in too.
What's Involved in Water Leak Detection
- Talking through where you've noticed symptoms, wall, ceiling or floor.
- Checking the water meter to confirm a leak is actually active.
- Running acoustic and thermal gear to pinpoint the location without digging up the yard.
- Testing each line and fixture in turn to isolate the fault.
- Walking you through exactly what turned up before any repair is quoted.
- Pricing the repair on its own terms, kept separate from the detection visit itself.
How We Price Water Leak Detection
- How easy or hard the affected spot is to reach.
- Whether the leak is in a wall, under a slab, or in the yard.
- The detection method needed to pin it down accurately.
- Whether the leak turns out to be one fault or several.
Detection and repair are priced and agreed separately, so you're never guessing what one visit is going to cost. Free quotes apply either way, and the $65 off your first service offer still stands if this is your first call to us.
This Job in and Around Roseville
A good stretch of housing along the Pacific Highway corridor and the streets running off it was built before 1960, in the years when galvanised steel was still the standard supply pipe. That material corrodes from the inside over decades, narrowing the bore.
Eventually it opens a pinhole leak that can sit hidden inside a wall or under a floor for months.
The pipe itself is the problem here, not a single fitting, so a leak in one of these older supply runs often doesn't announce itself with an obvious puddle. A creeping water bill or a patch of damp plaster is usually the first sign.
That's exactly the kind of fault proper detection equipment is built to find.
The Rules That Apply in NSW
Locating and repairing a water supply leak is licensed plumbing work in NSW, particularly once a wall, slab or fixed pipe is involved rather than a simple tap washer.
Lic #465156C sits behind every detection job, carried out by our own licensed plumbers, never a subcontractor.
What to Expect on the Day
Call and a real person gets your water leak detection underway.
We assess on site and price the whole water leak detection, not just part.
You approve the price for the water leak detection before we start, and the invoice matches it.
We finish the water leak detection and stand behind it with a lifetime warranty.
On a Pacific Highway-era home, tracking a leak down with acoustic and thermal gear is usually done within a couple of hours of arrival. A slab leak with several lines to test can stretch beyond that, and we'll flag which situation applies before pricing the repair.
What Sets Our Work Apart
A shovel and a guess isn't how we work; acoustic and thermal gear does the finding instead. That's what keeps unnecessary digging and drywall damage to a minimum.
Detection and repair are both backed by our standard guarantees: one price agreed upfront, and the workmanship covered for good.
Servicing Roseville and the Suburbs Around It
Hidden leaks don't respect suburb boundaries any more than ageing pipework does. We run leak detection across Roseville and out to Lindfield, Killara and Chatswood, and where the source turns out to be a fixture rather than a supply line, our leaking tap repair service picks it up from there.

Common questions
Water Leak Detection: The Questions People Ask
What warranty comes with water leak detection?
The repair that follows the detection carries our lifetime labour warranty. The detection visit itself is about finding the leak accurately, and we stand behind whatever we fix as a result.
How much does water leak detection cost in Roseville?
There's no fixed dollar figure we can quote blind, since it depends on how the leak's hiding and where. What we can promise is a free quote and one fixed price once we've assessed the job, agreed before any work starts.
What does it cost just to attend?
Nothing. Our call-out fee is $0 for water leak detection, whether or not the visit turns into repair work.
Will you tell me why water leak detection was needed?
Always. Once we've found the source, we'll show you what caused it and what the fix involves before we quote a cent.
What equipment do you use for water leak detection?
We use leak detection technology built for exactly this, listening equipment and thermal tools that find a hidden leak without guesswork or unnecessary digging.
How do I prepare for a water leak detection callout?
Note when you first noticed the damp patch or the rise in your water bill, and avoid disturbing the area if you can. Everything else, we'll handle once we're on site.
