The detail
When do you Know There's a Leak: But Can't Find It?
There's a particular kind of frustration in knowing something is wrong but not being able to see it. The water bill climbs, a wall feels damp, maybe you hear water moving in the quiet of the night. Somewhere behind a wall, under a Black Rock slab or beneath a Mentone garden bed, water is escaping. You just can't say where.
That's exactly what water leak detection solves. Rather than guessing and opening up walls and floors on a hunch, we use specialised equipment to locate the leak precisely, then fix only what needs fixing.
Good to know
How Non-Invasive Leak Detection Works
We combine several technologies to pinpoint leaks without demolition:
- Acoustic listening equipment that hears water escaping under pressure, even through concrete.
- Thermal imaging that reveals temperature differences from escaping hot or cold water.
- Pressure testing to confirm whether a system is holding.
- Moisture meters to map dampness back to its source.
This matters most in Bayside's high-value homes, Brighton, Beaumaris and Black Rock properties where unnecessary excavation of tiled floors or established gardens is costly. We protect your home while we find the fault.
Warning signs
What are the signs You Need Leak Detection?
- A water bill that's risen with no explanation

- Mould or a musty smell that keeps returning

- Cracked or lifting tiles, or a soggy patch in the garden
- A water meter that ticks over while no taps are running

Frequently Asked Questions: Water Leak Detection in Bayside
Will you have to break anything to find the leak?
No. Our methods are non-invasive, acoustic and thermal, so we locate the leak first and only access the exact spot needed for repair.
How accurate is leak detection?
Very. In most cases we can pinpoint a concealed leak to within a small area, saving unnecessary damage and cost.
Can you detect leaks under concrete slabs?
Yes. Acoustic equipment picks up pressurised water escaping beneath slabs, a common issue in newer bayside homes.
How long does detection take?
Most residential detections take one to two hours, depending on the property's size and how well-hidden the leak is.
Do you fix the leak on the same visit?
Often, yes, if the repair is straightforward and you approve the upfront price, we can complete it during the same appointment.
My water meter is moving but I can't see any water. Can you help?
Absolutely. A moving meter with all taps off is a classic concealed-leak sign, and exactly what our detection service is built for.
