A water bill that climbed for no reason, a warm patch on the slab, a wall that smells faintly of damp: all of those are a leak you cannot see yet. Finding it accurately is the whole job. Opening the wrong wall is expensive and demoralising.

Detection is a flat $249, credited against the repair if you hire us.
What the job includes
- Acoustic listening on pressurised lines
- Thermal imaging across slab and wall cavities
- Meter isolation test to confirm the loss is real
- Leak located and marked before anything is opened
- Written findings with photographs, useful for insurance
What moves the number
- Slab vs wall
- A slab leak may be re-routed overhead instead of jackhammered. Usually cheaper and always cleaner.
- Finish work
- We open and patch to paint-ready. We do not paint, and we will say so up front.
- Insurance
- We document to claim standard at no extra charge, because doing it after the fact never works.
Asked on this job
What if you cannot find it?
It happens on maybe one job in forty. You pay the detection fee and we tell you honestly what we ruled out, so the next person is not starting from zero.
Do I have to jackhammer the slab?
Often not. Re-routing the affected line through the attic is frequently cheaper and less invasive. We price both.
