Comprehensive Water Leak Detection for All Property Types
Our services cater to residential, commercial, and industrial properties, using advanced technology to accurately locate hidden water leaks and prevent costly damage.
Residential
At 1300 FINDLEAK, we specialize in identifying water leaks that can lead to significant residential water loss and high water bills. Burst pipes, broken pipes, and frozen pipes are common culprits that we address with our expert leak detection services. We utilize advanced technology such as acoustic leak detection, tracer gas and thermal imaging to precisely locate water leaks, even in challenging areas like leaks under concrete or underground pipes. Our services ensure quick detection, minimizing property damage and reducing high water costs.
We understand that water leaks can result in more than just high bills—they can cause severe property damage. Leaks can lead to mould growth, water damage, and even fire hazards, especially in the case of electrical systems exposed to moisture. Our trained technicians are experts in finding leaking pipes, whether they are inside walls or underground. We provide non-invasive solutions to locate and repair leaks quickly, ensuring safety and peace of mind for homeowners.
In many cases, underground leaks, pipe damage, or water seepage from hidden pipes can be particularly difficult to find. Leaks can also contaminate water supplies, leading to health risks. 1300 FINDLEAK uses specialized equipment to detect even the most elusive leaks in your home, preventing further water damage and eliminating the risk of contaminated water. Our professional team offers thorough inspections to diagnose the extent of the issue and take swift action to resolve it before it worsens.
-
Usually, the first sign of a burst pipe includes: water dripping or seeping, soft or muddy areas even though it hasn't rained. Unexplained wet patches in or around slabs or paved areas. Rising damp or sometimes there are signs on the neighbouring property.
Do The Test: Turn off the water and make sure no one uses any taps or flushes the toilets. Take a photo from your water meter, wait 10 minutes, and compare. If the reading has changed, you have a water leak.
-
Burst pipes occur when an underground water supply pipes break or leak, either alongside its length or elbows and other fittings. Leaks and breaks can occur because of invasive roots, shifting ground, or freezing or corroding pipes.
Building standards have also changed over the years with plumbing lines placed in underground conduit and therefore know how and specialist tools are required in these challenging environments.
-
Hidden wall and floor leaks are usually in plumbing lines and fixtures that are inaccessible unless accessed invasively. Non compliant roof plumbing, failed waterproofing, faulty or incorrectly installed doors, windows and wall cladding is also a major problem. Hidden water leaks in underfloor slabs and walls can be very costly if not found immediately. Apart from water loss, the damage it will cause to concrete, timber flooring, wall framing, plaster, skirting boards, etc. is extensive.
How to check for leaks using your water meter
Turn off all taps and isolate water supply to toilets, dishwasher, washing machine, hot water service and irrigation .
Locate your water meter. It's usually at the front of your property.
Write down or take a picture of the numbers on the water meter dials. On most meters, the last two dials are red.
Don’t use any water for the one hour.
Check if the last two numbers on the dial have changed. If they do, you have water a leak. The greater the change, the bigger the potential leak.

Advanced Thermal Imaging for Accurate Leak Location
Our thermal imaging technology helps us identify moisture buildup and hidden leaks in walls, ceilings, and floors, preventing water damage.
Thermal imaging cameras don’t “see” water, but rather can visualize the impact water has on the temperature of surfaces around them due to the evaporation process.
Electro Acoustic Technology. Leaks create a distinctive sound as water leaves the pipe, with smaller leaks producing a higher frequency and larger leaks a lower frequency sound.
Combined with a specific electronic leak detector, Tracer Gas enables qualified technicians to detect much smaller leaks than they can with the Oxygen Free Nitrogen method.
Excess moisture left within a building can cause damage to structural materials such as rot, mould, reduced insulation values, and failure of flooring, roofing, and wall support.
