Licensed & local
Trusted Leak Detection Specialists for Local Homes
Our licensed team has located and repaired hidden leaks across the southern Adelaide suburbs for a decade. Lic. #333997 with Master Plumber South Australia, fully insured, and equipped with acoustic and thermal tools that pinpoint the source before any access work begins. Fixed Upfront Pricing and Lifetime Labour Warranty included:
Our team locates and repairs the full range of hidden plumbing leaks across local homes using non-invasive acoustic, thermal, and pressure-testing tools that protect floors, walls, gardens, and slabs during the diagnosis stage:
Hidden Water Leak Detection
Acoustic listening locates concealed water leaks inside walls, ceilings, and under floors, pinpointing the exact source before any wall or floor access work begins anywhere on the home.
Slab Leak Detection
Thermal and acoustic tools locate leaks under concrete slabs without breaking up the whole floor, so the exact source is confirmed before any concrete is cut for repair.
Gas Leak Detection
Suspected gas leaks get pressure-test and acoustic detection at the meter and fittings, with full safety isolation and a licensed [gas-fitter repair](/gas-fitting/) completed on the same call-out where possible.
Acoustic and Thermal Location
Specialist imaging picks up temperature differentials and pressure noise from active leaks behind sealed walls and floors. Where leaks tie into [blocked drains](/blocked-drains/), the same diagnosis covers both issues.
Leak Repair After Detection
Once the source is pinpointed, the repair is completed to AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards with minimal access cutting, full pressure testing, and a workmanship warranty on the finished job.
Why it matters
Why Leak Detection Choice Matters for Local Homes
Hidden leaks run for months before anyone spots them. By the time the bill arrives or the damp shows on a ceiling, real money is already gone. Detection done properly avoids unnecessary destruction across older homes:
Undetected leaks waste significant water and drive up bills
Wall and ceiling damage compounds the longer the leak runs
Slab moisture leads to mould, rot, and rising-damp problems
Insurance claims need timely action to limit damage
Non-invasive tools save the cost of speculative excavation
Emergency
When a Hidden Leak Becomes an Emergency
Not every leak is urgent, but the scenarios listed below are. If any of these are happening at your home, treat it as an urgent call straight away rather than waiting for a routine booking:
Gas smell anywhere inside or outside the property
Water staining spreading across ceilings or walls
Unexplained spike in your water bill of 50% or more
Damp patches or warm spots on floors or under carpet
Our team responds within the hour where availability allows. Turn off water at the mains or gas at the meter while waiting.
Common faults
Common Leak Problems We Fix
The leak calls our team takes across the southern suburbs follow a few recurring patterns tied to the local housing stock. These are the hidden leak problems we locate and repair most often for homeowners:
01
Slab leaks under 1980s brick veneer
Aberfoyle Park's housing was built out across the 1980s on detached brick veneer slabs, where original under-slab plumbing connections can fail decades on. Acoustic and thermal tools locate the source without breaking the slab.
02
Gas leaks in legacy fittings
Older gas fittings and meter-side connections on long-occupied homes develop hairline leaks at the joints. Pressure testing and acoustic detection isolate the source, and our licensed gas fitter completes the repair on the same visit.
03
Water leaks in galvanised systems
Some older homes carry galvanised steel water lines behind walls and under floors. Internal corrosion shows up as restricted flow, pinhole leaks, or full [burst pipe](/burst-pipes/) failures, located non-invasively with acoustic and pressure tools.
04
Hidden bathroom and laundry leaks
Leaks inside walls behind showers, baths, and laundry tubs cause damp damage often blamed on condensation. Our team diagnoses the actual source and repairs from the cleanest access point with minimum disruption to the home.
Our process
How Our Leak Detection Process Works on Every Job
Our leak detection process is built to be non-invasive and predictable. Here is what to expect on the day, from the first call through to the final repair and handover at your home:
1
Initial Assessment
Our team listens to the symptoms by phone, then on-site we inspect the visible damage, check water meter activity, and identify the likely zone where the leak is occurring.
2
Non-Invasive Detection
Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and pressure testing pinpoint the exact leak source so walls, floors, and slabs stay intact while we work, with access cuts kept to a minimum.
3
Upfront Quote for Repair
Once the leak is located, you get a Fixed Upfront Price for the access work and repair. No hourly rates, no surprise charges, no bill shock when the job's finished.
4
Repair Testing and Handover
Our licensed plumber completes the repair, tests the line under pressure, restores any access cuts made, walks you through what was done, and confirms your Lifetime Labour Warranty on departure.
