“What’s the worst leak you’ve ever seen?” If we had a dollar for every time we’ve heard that question… we’d still be plumbers, but at least all of our mortgages would be paid off. We can tell you that the worst cases usually have one of two things in common: clients either ignored them for too long or tried to repair them themselves.
Every site is as unique as a thumbprint, and we’ve earned our reputation as one of the leading leak detection companies in Melbourne by offering a wide range of adaptable plumbing solutions to find even the most well-hidden leaks. Here are our reliable favourites.
The most effective cost-cutting solution is a job well done. We don’t spare any expense to ensure our leak detectors have access to the best possible equipment, and are also trained and accredited to use their tools to their full potential. Of course, once we’ve located the leak, we’ll fix it using the best parts available, too.
Not all leaks are as apparent as a stain on the wall. Whether you’ve got gas leaks deep underground or water pipes spread across multiple storeys of your apartment or office building, our specialists will find and fix them.
Need to find out where exactly the leak is? Not to worry. With the right tools, we can suss out any leak.

Accurately map out your plumbing and utility pipes to prevent leaks during new builds or renovations.
When a leak threatens to become a flood, get yourself to safety and call us. We’ll be there in under an hour.

While the inner city will always be our home, we haven’t spent three decades confined to a handful of suburbs. These days, we’re glad to say we can provide water and gas leak detection services for over 160 suburbs within the Melbourne metropolitan area.
That’s a heck of a spread, but the size of our domain hasn’t diminished the speed of our service. We still guarantee our one-hour emergency response time for every suburb under our care.
We’re plumbers. You don’t need to know all the slimy, sticky, stinky details about us and what we do. But we can sum up the important stuff with three goals:
If we had to boil that all down to one point, it would be the last. We really do love what we do. As a family business, we’re in the awesome position of getting to work with our loved ones, trading hard-earned expertise every day. Our pride in our profession has enabled us to be the best at it for thirty years. We reckon we love it enough to last thirty more.
If this is your first time dealing with a concealed water leak, you might not even know what signs to look for. Spotting a water leak can be tricky, but there are usually a few signs that can tip you off, such as:
The water bill has unexpectedly increased
If you did not recently buy a new appliance, such as a washing machine or refrigerator, then your water bill should not dramatically rise.
Water is puddling up in unusual places
You might notice minor puddles at the base of your kitchen island or in your laundry cabinets. You may even notice seemingly random puddles around your site — look up and notice they’re beneath downlights.
There are signs of mould and water damage around the house
This could be mould spots on the wall, or the slight discolouration and softening of wood in a particular area. You may even notice a dank scent. Mould can be extremely difficult to deal with, so it’s best to contact a leak detection specialist as soon as you suspect a mould problem.
Your irrigation system is leaking
Irrigation leaks can be trickier to detect since they can evaporate quite quickly outdoors. However, you may notice small puddles or consistently moist soil around your lawn.
Residential and commercial gas is mixed with a foul-smelling chemical, so it’s easy for you to immediately identify a leak. However, there are other signs you should be alert for:
If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the gas from the mains and get everyone out of the building. Call our gas leak detection team immediately, and do not attempt to fix the leak on your own.
You’ve got our details; now we just need yours. Get in touch to schedule an appointment, or have our emergency leak detectors rush out to you.
