What Brought You Here Today?

Whether you've just opened a shock water bill or your pool's dropped overnight — you're in the right place. Tell us what's happening and we'll route you to the right solution. Below are the most common reasons people contact us. If yours isn't listed exactly, don't worry — we handle everything from slow drips to catastrophic water loss.

High Water Bill

An unusually high bill or a meter that keeps running can signal a hidden leak. We use acoustic listening and tracer gas to locate the source.

How we Help

Pool Losing Water

Losing more water than evaporation would explain? We use pressure testing and specialist pool equipment to find the leak.

How we Help

Damp Spots or Bubbling Paint

Damp patches and bubbling paint can point to hidden moisture. Thermal imaging helps us trace affected areas and investigate the source.

How we Help

Locating Water Pipes & Utilities

Locate buried pipes and services before digging or renovating. Our specialist equipment helps map their position so you can plan the work.

Leak Detection Without Destruction™

Our Solution

Our Technology
Acoustic Listening

Acoustic Listening

Acoustic listening lets us hear leaks through concrete, tiles and soil. We use the sound of escaping water to help pinpoint the source without digging.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging reveals heat patterns linked to hidden moisture behind walls or under tiles. It helps us investigate leaks without opening up surfaces.

Tracer Gas

Tracer Gas

Tracer gas helps us locate small leaks that are difficult to find. We track where the gas escapes to narrow down the source without unnecessary damage.

A steady drip of this size wastes approximately 100 litres per day — that's 36,500 litres litres per year, costing you an estimated $91.25 at current rates. Over three years, an undetected leak like this could cost you $273.75. In many cases, you can claim a rebate from your water authority if you complete repairs. Our written detection report supports these claims.
