Leak Detection and Pipe Repairs Perth

Leak detection in Perth, found fast, without ripping up your home

A hidden leak can run for weeks behind a wall or under a slab before you ever see a stain or a shock water bill. We find exactly where it is using thermal imaging, acoustic correlation and tracer gas, then put it in writing, so the repair is targeted instead of a guessing game with a jackhammer.

Why hidden leaks are so hard to find.

Water travels. The wet patch on your ceiling is rarely directly above the leak, and the sound of running water can carry several metres along a pipe before it surfaces. That is why a leak you can hear at the kitchen tap can turn out to be under the laundry slab. A general plumber without the right gear often has to open walls or break concrete just to look. That is slow, expensive, and it sometimes still misses the source. Specialist detection finds the leak first, so only the right spot gets opened and the rest of your home stays intact.

Why hidden leaks are so hard to find.

Your water bill jumped

A sudden spike with no change in how you use water usually means water is escaping somewhere you cannot see.

Damp, mould or musty smell

Staining, bubbling paint or a musty room can sit well away from the actual leak, which is exactly why guesswork fails.

The sound of running water

Water you can hear when every tap is off is a classic sign of a leak in a pressurised pipe.

Leak detection across Perth - without breaking concrete

We use acoustic correlation, FLIR thermal imaging and hydrogen-nitrogen tracer gas to locate hidden leaks to within 10mm - before any tile, slab or driveway is touched. Detection from $395 flat. If we cannot find a leak greater than 10 litres per hour, audible or weeping water, you don't pay for the visit. We can assist with your Water Corporation Leak Allowance application.

The equipment behind the find

FLIR Thermal Imaging

Reads the temperature difference a leak leaves behind walls and floors, so we can trace the path of the water without demolition to look.

Acoustic correlation

Listens for water escaping a pressurised pipe and triangulates the source - often to within about 10mm.

Tracer gas

A safe gas is introduced into the line and surfaces exactly where the pipe has failed - ideal for slab and underground leaks.

No find, no fee.

If we cannot locate a leak greater than 10 litres per hour, audible, or weeping, there is no charge for the visit. The threshold is defined in writing, so there is never an argument about what counts as a leak.

Leak detection questions, answered.

Still have questions? Call us any time - we answer 24/7.

How does leak detection work?

We use non-destructive equipment - acoustic correlators, thermal cameras and tracer gas - to locate a leak without opening walls or breaking concrete just to look. Once the source is pinpointed, we document it, and only the right spot is exposed when the repair happens.

How much does leak detection cost in Perth?

The first hour runs from $395 for a flexible booking up to $695 for same-day urgent, then $220 per hour after that. An Iplex Pro-fit investigation is a fixed $495. No find, no fee applies to every visit.

Do you fix the leak too?

We are detection specialists, so we find and document the leak, then coordinate a licensed repairing plumber - often our parent company Plumbed Right - who returns in a separate visit to carry out the repair. You deal with one team and do not have to chase a second tradie.

What is 'no find, no fee'?

If we cannot locate a leak greater than 10 litres per hour, audible, or weeping, there is no charge for the visit. The threshold is set out in writing so there is no dispute about what counts.

Will you help with my Water Corporation Leak Allowance?

Yes. Our written report documents the hidden leak, and we can assist with the Water Corporation leak allowance application so you can apply to recover up to 50% of the water charged while the leak was running. See our leak allowance guide for the eligibility rules and the six month deadline.

Will you have to break my floor or wall to find it?

No. We pinpoint the leak first using acoustic, thermal and tracer gas methods, before any concrete or tile is touched. That means when the repairing plumber comes out, only the right section is opened, not a wide exploration trench.
