Our Leak Detection Services in Auckland
Visual Inspection
We start by checking the water meter, inspecting visible plumbing, and isolating different areas of your system to narrow the search. Our team will also compare your Watercare bill against actual readings to confirm if water loss is occurring. If no obvious leaks are found inside or outside, we then move on to advanced leak detection on your watermain for a precise diagnosis.
Acoustic Leak Detection
We use specialised acoustic leak detection equipment to listen for the sound of escaping water and accurately pinpoint hidden leaks.
This non-invasive method helps us quickly locate leaks in plumbing systems, underground watermains, and pipes across Auckland – saving time, money, and avoiding unnecessary digging.
Gas Tracing Technology
For added accuracy, we use safe, non-toxic tracer gas technology to precisely locate leaks in your pipework. The gas escapes at the leak point and rises to the surface, allowing us to detect even the smallest or hardest-to-find leaks with specialised equipment – without unnecessary digging or disruption
Next Steps
If the leak is accessible, our team can often repair it immediately – whether it’s in your watermain, under the house, or inside your plumbing system. If an on-the-spot fix isn’t possible, we’ll provide a clear estimate for either a targeted repair or, if required, a full replacement of the affected pipework.
In many cases, a quick repair will solve the problem, but for older or severely damaged systems, replacement may be the most practical and cost-effective solution. You can count on us for honest advice, a transparent estimate, and the best long-term fix for your property.
