FAQs

Got questions about leaks? Here's everything you need to know.

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

A sudden spike in your water bill, damp marks on walls, and mould growth are common signs. You may also hear running water even when taps are off. Our technicians use non-invasive methods to locate leaks early, avoiding structural damage and wasted water.

What are the common causes of water leaks?

Leaks often come from worn-out seals, cracked pipes, or corrosion over time. Older homes with galvanised plumbing are especially at risk due to internal rust. Many of these leaks stem from aging infrastructure and materials that need replacing, including galvanised pipes that no longer meet today’s standards.

Can you repair the leak after detecting it?

Yes, after pinpointing the location, our team can carry out the necessary repairs on the spot or schedule work for larger jobs. We’ll explain the issue clearly and recommend the most cost-effective fix, ensuring the problem is resolved quickly and safely.

Are small leaks really that serious?

Even a slow leak can lead to costly water damage, foundation problems, and health risks like mould. If it affects fixtures like your hot water system, it could also cause performance issues or mineral build-up, a problem often linked to lukewarm water temperatures.

What tools are used to find hidden leaks?

We use acoustic listening devices, tracer gases, pressure testing, and thermal cameras to detect leaks behind walls, under floors, and within concrete slabs without tearing your home apart. This method is accurate, clean, and efficient.

Will the process damage my property?

Not at all. Our approach uses modern technology to locate leaks without breaking tiles, digging through concrete, or cutting walls. You get answers fast without the mess or cost of unnecessary exploratory work.

Can weather or storms cause new leaks?

Yes, heavy storms or shifting soil can stress older pipes or expose weaknesses in seals. Sudden downpours can overload stormwater drains, contributing to pressure buildup and pipe damage. Preventive maintenance is key to keeping your plumbing safe during Queensland's storm season.

Do you service homes outside Rockhampton?

We do. Our leak detection specialists service Rockhampton City, Yeppoon, Gracemere, The Range, Berserker, and other surrounding suburbs. Whether you’re on a residential block or commercial site, we’re equipped to assist throughout Central Queensland.
