Leak Detection & Repair

Water almost never surfaces where it originates. It travels along framing, follows piping, and appears in a room away from the actual failure. Leak detection is about finding the source before anyone starts opening walls or floors.

Signs of a hidden leak

  • A water bill that has risen with no change in usage
  • The meter continuing to move with every fixture shut off
  • Damp patches, staining or bubbling paint on walls or ceilings
  • A musty smell, or mould appearing in one area repeatedly
  • Warm spots on a floor, or the sound of running water with nothing on
  • Persistent low pressure at fixtures

How we locate it

We start with the meter and an isolation check to establish whether the loss is on the supply side and roughly where. From there we narrow it down — pressure testing sections, listening equipment on pressurised lines, and moisture and thermal checks on surfaces — before any access is opened. The aim is one small opening in the right place instead of several in the wrong ones. Leaks beneath a foundation are handled as slab leak detection and repair; drain-side leaks may call for a camera inspection instead.

Repair options

An isolated failure at a joint or fitting is usually a straightforward repair. Where we find repeated pinholes or widespread deterioration, the underlying issue is the piping itself, and repairing one spot buys limited time — see repiping. We will tell you which situation you are in rather than presenting one repair at a time.

Homes, businesses and multi-unit buildings

In apartment and condominium buildings a leak often shows up in a different unit from the one it started in, and access has to be coordinated across both. See HOA & property management plumbing.

FAQs

Do you have to cut into walls to find it? Not to find it. Detection is done before access wherever possible; opening up is for the repair, at the located point.

Is an active leak an emergency? If water is running and you cannot stop it, yes — 24/7 emergency plumbing.

The meter moves with everything off. What does that mean? Almost always a leak on the pressurised supply side. Worth acting on quickly.
