Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Subtle clues around the home can point to underlying water problems long before major damage appears. We advise homeowners and businesses to call us 24/7 at 1800 571 216 when warning signs appear.
Unexplained high water bill or meter movement
A sudden rise in your water bill or a meter that keeps turning when taps are off usually signals a concealed problem. We record meter movement during the initial visit to confirm continuous flow and build evidence for repair planning.
Mould, moisture and musty odours
Musty odours and visible mould on skirtings or behind cupboards point to prolonged contact with moisture. Early reporting helps stop health risks and keeps repair scope small.
Stains, damp patches, peeling paint and warped surfaces
Stains, bubbling paint, swollen skirting and warped cabinetry commonly follow hidden faults. Warm floor spots, efflorescence on masonry and hairline cracks near wet areas are other clues.
- Running toilets or silent cistern faults may start small but worsen quickly.
- New dampness after rain can be plumbing or building envelope issues; we differentiate the cause before works begin.
- Our process pinpoints the source so fixes target the actual fault, not just symptoms.
| Early Indicator | What It Suggests | Our Immediate Action |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous meter movement | Hidden supply or pipe failure | Meter test, isolate supply, plan focused detection |
| Musty smell / mould | Prolonged moisture in walls or floors | Thermal scan, moisture mapping, containment |
| Staining / warped surfaces | Active water contact with finishes | Targeted opening, repair quote, restore finishes |
If you notice any of these signs, call us anytime for a quick assessment. Our experienced team acts fast to minimise disruption and cost — call 1800 571 216 for 24/7 support in Melbourne.
Our Non-Invasive Leak Detection Technology
Precision equipment lets us visualise hidden wet areas and verify faults before any repair work begins. We combine proven imaging and acoustic methods to pinpoint problems with minimal disruption. Our approach speeds repairs and lowers reinstatement costs.
Thermal imaging to pinpoint moisture behind walls and ceilings
Thermal imaging visualises temperature changes caused by moisture in walls and ceilings. This helps us target openings precisely and avoid unnecessary removal of finishes.
Acoustic listening to detect leaks within pipes and slabs
Electro-acoustic listening finds noise signatures in pressurised lines and under slabs. We separate background sounds from true fault signals to locate the source fast.
Tracer gas for finding elusive micro-leaks
Tracer gas lets us find leaks too small for other techniques, especially on long runs or complex layouts. It reduces the need for exploratory demolition.
CCTV drain camera and moisture mapping for evidence-based results
CCTV inspections reveal internal pipe defects and blockages. Moisture mapping confirms spread so we can plan effective repairs and provide clear reports for insurers or owners.
- We use reputable-brand tools and professional equipment for accurate, repeatable readings.
- Our methods are combined on site to ensure reliable diagnosis and fast results.
- Available 24/7 — call 1800 571 216 for immediate service and a clear plan of action.
