How Do You Know Water Is Escaping Somewhere?
A hidden leak builds up quietly. Look for:
- A water bill that rises with no change in how the house uses water
- Damp patches, bubbling paint or one soft spot in a timber floor
- The hiss of a cistern refilling when nobody has flushed
- A strip of lush green grass across an otherwise dry yard in summer
Any one of these is reason enough for a trace, and finding the leak early can save a floor or a wall.

Pressure, sound, moisture
The service is isolated and pressure tested, acoustic gear follows the sound along the pipe, and a moisture meter confirms where to open up.

Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
Once the repair is done, the line is pressure tested again to prove it holds.
How Is a Leak Trace Costed?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
Access sets most of the price. Getting to a leak beneath an open timber subfloor is simpler than breaking into a slab or a tiled wall.
The price also depends on:
- The pipe, since old steel can be failing in several places and takes a longer trace than one modern joint
- How far along the run the leak sits
- Whether the repair can be done on the same visit
When We're Not the Right Call
gas leak detection
A smell of gas is a separate, more urgent problem: see gas leak detection, which starts with getting out of the house.
hot water repairs
Water dripping from the hot water unit can be a relief valve or fitting fault; see hot water repairs.
CCTV drain inspection
A blockage rather than a leak needs a drain camera, explained on the CCTV drain inspection page.

Water Leak Questions From the Valley
Can a leak be found under a Branxton house without digging up the floor?
Yes. Acoustic gear and a pressure test narrow the leak to one area before anything is lifted, and the floor is only opened once the spot is confirmed. If a small access cut is needed, you approve the price first.
My water bill jumped but nothing looks wet. Is that a leak?
It may well be. Water lost inside a wall cavity or beneath a slab can show on the meter long before a stain appears. With nothing running in the house, write down the meter numbers, wait a while without using water, and look again; any change means it is time for a trace.
Do you trace leaks out in Greta too?
Yes. Greta is on our run, and a leak there is traced with the same acoustic gear and pressure tests, with a fixed price for any repair before the work starts.
What happens once the leak is located?
You are shown where it is and what has failed, and the repair comes with a fixed price. A straightforward repair can be done there and then with your approval; a larger job, such as renewing the whole water service in an old house, is priced on its own.
