Our Leak Detection Services

We Locate Leaks in Any Type
of Pipe or Fitting

We use multiple detection technologies on both pressurised and non-pressurised systems – no excavation required.

Underground & Pipe Leak Detection

We trace leaks in buried water mains, supply lines, and sewer pipes without excavation, locating the exact problem area before any work begins.

Slab Leak Detection

Leaks beneath concrete floors are notoriously difficult to find. Our acoustic and thermal equipment locates slab leaks precisely, saving you unnecessary breaking.

Hidden Water Leak Detection

Leaks concealed inside walls, under floors, and above ceiling spaces are found quickly and with minimal disruption to your home or business.

Pool Leak Detection

Is your pool losing water daily? We perform full pool leak detection including pipe testing, structural inspection, and dye testing to find the source.

Flat Roof Leak Detection

We locate moisture intrusion points in flat and low-pitch roofs using non-destructive methods before they cause internal water damage.

Commercial & Industrial Detection

We serve body corporates, townhouse complexes, commercial buildings, and industrial sites across the Garden Route.

How We Find Your Leak

No Guesswork. No Unnecessary Damage.

Most leak problems are solved without digging a single trench. Our process is straightforward.

1
Site Assessment

A qualified plumber visits your property to assess the situation and determine the best detection method.

2
Acoustic Detection

Sensitive listening equipment detects the sound signature of water escaping, even through concrete and thick walls.

3
Thermal Imaging

Thermal cameras reveal temperature differences caused by water movement, locating leaks in walls, floors, and underground.

4
Tracer Gas Test

A harmless gas is introduced into the pipe system. Where it escapes, we find the leak, accurate to within centimetres.

5
Report & Repair

We provide a clear assessment and the most cost-effective repair solution. We handle the repair too, no need to call a second contractor.

How We Find Your Leak – No Guesswork, No Unnecessary Damage

Most leak problems are solved without digging a single trench. Our process is straightforward:

  • Site assessment – One of our qualified plumbers visits your property to assess the situation and determine the best detection method.
  • Acoustic leak detection – Sensitive listening equipment detects the sound signature of water escaping under pressure through pipes, even through concrete and thick walls.
  • Thermal imaging – Our thermal cameras reveal temperature differences caused by water movement, locating leaks in walls, floors, and underground.
  • Tracer gas leak detection – A harmless gas is introduced into the pipe system. Where it escapes, we find the leak — accurate to within centimetres.
  • Water meter analysis – We use your water meter to confirm the presence of a leak and help narrow down the affected system.

Once we’ve located the leak, we give you a clear assessment of the damage and the most cost-effective repair solution. We handle the repair too – no need to call a second contractor.
