Water leak detection and repair
Hidden leaks cause water damage, high water bills and mould. They often go unnoticed, and finding the source is hard when it's behind a wall, under a floor or underground.
We know how stressful a leak can be. Our plumbers locate the leak, repair it, and give you advice to help prevent it happening again, saving you money in the long run.
Even a small leak can lead to significant damage, so we focus on finding and fixing it efficiently to limit any further problems.

Frequently asked questions
Leak detection FAQs
How can I tell if I have a leak?
Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, then check your water meter. If it keeps moving, water is escaping somewhere. Call a licensed plumber to find and fix it.
What should I do while I wait for a plumber?
If you can see water escaping, turn off the water at the main. Move valuables away from wet areas and dry up what you can to limit damage.
Can a small leak really cause damage?
Yes. Even a slow leak can lead to rot, mould and damage to walls, floors and foundations if it's left. Finding it early helps limit the damage.
Do you repair the leak once it's found?
Yes. We locate the source, repair it, and give you advice to help prevent future leaks.
