When to Call Us About Water Leak Detection
A water bill that's suddenly higher for no obvious reason is usually the first sign something's leaking out of sight. A meter that keeps ticking over with every tap in the house turned off confirms it.
Damp patches on walls or ceilings that don't line up with the weather, warped skirting boards, or a musty smell in one part of the house are all worth calling about. None of these tend to fix themselves.
What's Involved in Water Leak Detection
We start with the water meter test and a visual sweep, checking for damp, staining or any sound of running water where there shouldn't be any.
From there we bring in proper detection equipment to pinpoint the actual leak location, so the repair opens up exactly the right spot rather than a wall's worth of guesswork.
The Factors Behind Your Water Leak Detection Quote
The price comes down to where the leak sits and how hard it is to reach safely.
- How accessible the suspected leak location is
- Whether it's under a slab, in a wall cavity, or an exposed pipe
- Whether one dwelling is affected or a shared strata line
- How much of the affected area needs opening up to reach the pipe
Killara's mix of older heritage houses and newer apartment blocks near Lorne Avenue means the second point matters a lot here. A leak under a solid Federation-era floor is a different job to one in a modern unit's cavity wall, and the fixed price reflects that difference honestly.
Why Killara Properties Call Us for This
Killara's housing sits at low density overall, but it's genuinely mixed: established detached houses, heritage-listed homes, and a growing run of apartment buildings near Lorne Avenue and the station precinct.
Older houses here often have original pipework buried under solid floors, so a leak can run for weeks before it's visible anywhere. Newer strata buildings bring a different challenge, since a leak in a shared wall can affect more than one unit before anyone notices.
Done Right, and Done to Code
Locating and repairing a water leak in NSW is licensed plumbing work, particularly once the fix involves cutting into a wall, slab or existing pipework.
We hold that licence, Lic #465156C, and we'll always confirm what we've found before opening anything up, so you're not paying to have walls cut into on a hunch.
What to Expect on the Day
Call about water leak detection any time. Turning up costs you nothing, no call-out fee.
We assess the water leak detection and explain what it'll take to fix.
The fixed water leak detection price is agreed before we start.
We do the water leak detection and guarantee the workmanship for life.
Locating a leak usually takes less time than most people expect; the repair itself depends on where it's found, and we'll give you an honest sense of that once we've pinpointed it.
What You Get When We Do This Job
You get a plumber who won't open up more of your home than necessary to find and fix the actual problem. Proper detection technology means less guesswork and less damage along the way.
You also get the same lifetime labour warranty and $0 call-out fee that backs every job we do, whether it's a slow slab leak or an obvious burst.
Servicing Nearby Homes Too
Leaks don't respect suburb boundaries, and neither do we. We cover Killara alongside Gordon, Lindfield and St Ives, and if the leak turns out to involve a blocked drain as well, we'll sort both in the one visit where we can.

Common questions
Common Water Leak Detection Questions
Do I get a price for water leak detection upfront?
Yes. Once we've traced the leak and worked out what the repair involves, we give you a fixed price before any further work happens.
Do you hold the right licence for water leak detection?
Yes, our team works under Lic #465156C, and we're happy to have that checked whenever you like.
What should I do before you arrive for water leak detection?
Note where you've seen dampness or heard water, and avoid using the fixture you suspect if it's safe to leave it alone. Otherwise there's nothing else you need to do.
How soon can you get to me for water leak detection?
A hidden leak rarely improves by waiting, so we aim for same day wherever we can. Call (02) 9140 0185 and we'll fit you in.
Does it cost anything to get a water leak detection quote?
No. There's no charge to have us assess the leak and quote the fix, and the call-out itself is $0.
What's your method for water leak detection?
We use proper leak detection technology rather than guesswork, tracing the leak to its actual source before anything gets opened up or dug into.
