Leak detection and burst pipe repairs

Expert repairs for burst pipes, leak detection, dripping taps, and emergency water isolation.

Overview

About our leaks & burst pipes service

Not every leak announces itself. A burst pipe is obvious, but a slow leak inside a wall or under a slab often shows up first as a rising water bill, a damp patch, or the sound of water running when every tap is closed.

We repair the leaks you can see and locate the ones you cannot, from dripping tapware and failing fittings through to concealed pipework in ceilings, walls and underfloor spaces. Where a pipe run has failed repeatedly, we can advise on replacing the section rather than patching it again.

Left alone, water damage compounds. Early leak detection is usually cheaper than the repair bill for the damage it causes.

When to call us

The signs that point to this service.

  • A water bill that jumped

    An unexplained increase with no change in usage is one of the most common signs of a concealed leak.

  • Damp patches or staining

    Discolouration on a ceiling or wall, bubbling paint, or a musty smell in a room that should be dry.

  • The meter moves with taps closed

    Turn off every outlet and watch the water meter. Movement means water is escaping somewhere on the property.

  • Low water pressure

    A drop in pressure across the property can point to a failure in the supply line rather than the fixtures.

Leaks & Burst Pipes FAQs

Common questions, answered.

If yours is not here, call us and we will talk it through.

Can't see your question?

Talk to our team during office hours (Mon–Fri 7am–3pm), or any time for emergencies.

Leak detection narrows the location down before any access work starts, using the meter, isolation testing and inspection of the likely runs, so any opening up is targeted rather than exploratory.
