Leak Detection
Hidden water leaks can cause serious damage to your property if they are not detected early. Leaks behind walls, under concrete slabs, or underground, can often go unnoticed until signs such as high water bills, damp patches, mould, or structural damage appear.
Using specialised equipment such as acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging cameras, leaks can be located quickly and accurately without unnecessary demolition. Acoustic technology works by detecting the sound of water escaping from pressurised pipes, while thermal imaging cameras identify temperature differences caused by hidden moisture behind walls or floors.
Once the leak has been accurately located, the best repair solution can be recommended. In some cases the pipe may be repaired directly, while in other situations it may be more effective to reroute or replace the affected section of pipework. Professional leak detection allows the problem to be identified with minimal disruption to your home, helping prevent further water damage and unnecessary excavation.
Leak in Double Brick Cavity
Leak detection carried out on a double-storey double brick home where two separate leaks were located within the plumbing system. Identifying leaks in these types of structures can be more challenging due to the construction, but specialised detection equipment allows the problem to be located accurately before unnecessary demolition occurs.
Bypass
Bypass project, leak located in a granny flat. Instead of repairing a section of old pipe that was already deteriorating, a new line was installed to bypass the problem area entirely.
Thermal Imaging
Used a thermal camera to locate a hidden leak from a shower base, that was allowing water to escape into surrounding areas. Thermal imaging helps identify temperature differences caused by moisture, allowing the leak to be located quickly without unnecessary damage to walls or flooring.
