A meter that keeps turning with the taps off gets a real answer, any hour.
Why Minchinbury Properties Call Us for This
Streets built off the old Penfolds estate through the late 1970s and 1980s carry pipework that's now the better part of half a century old, buried under lawns and driveways that have never been dug up since.
A bill that keeps climbing is the most common trigger. Nobody's changed their habits, but the number on the account keeps going the wrong way.
A meter that spins with every tap off confirms it's not usage, it's a leak somewhere between the meter and the house.
Damp patches with no obvious source, especially near a slab edge or under a vanity, often trace back to a joint that's finally given way after decades underground.
Streets nearer Willis Street, closer to the old winery gates, sit among the suburb's earliest development, which is exactly where we find the oldest joints and the most call-outs of this kind.
The Warning Signs Worth Acting On
Not every drip is worth a specialist call, but a handful of signs point straight at a hidden leak.
- A water bill well above what the household's usage would explain.
- The meter dial moving with every tap and appliance switched off.
- A patch of lawn that's greener or wetter than the rest.
- Warped flooring, bubbling paint, or a musty smell indoors.
- A hot water bill rising alongside the cold, hinting at a hot-side leak too.
What's Involved in Water Leak Detection
A detection visit is about locating the leak precisely, not opening up the house to hunt for it. We check the meter first, work out whether the loss sits on the hot or cold side, then close in on the spot.
Acoustic sensors pick up the sound of water escaping under a slab, and thermal imaging reads the temperature change where a buried pipe has gone wet. Pressure testing tells us which line has failed.
It covers the lot: slab leaks, pipes inside a wall cavity, and the underground service line running in from the meter. Once the source is pinned, the follow-up repair gets quoted separately.
Honest Pricing for Water Leak Detection
The detection visit itself is priced against a few practical factors.
- How large the property is and how many possible leak points exist.
- Whether it's a slab leak, a wall cavity, or an outdoor line.
- Access, including paving, decking or landscaping over the suspected area.
- Whether a repair is booked at the same time as the detection.
You'll have that price settled before the equipment comes out, and there's no fee just for us to attend.
What to Expect on the Day
We take your call, get the key details of the water leak detection problem, and arrange a visit.
A licensed plumber assesses water leak detection on site and pins down the real cause.
You get a fixed price for water leak detection upfront, agreed before any work starts.
We complete the water leak detection work, with the labour backed by our lifetime warranty.
A straightforward leak, once the equipment's on site, is often traced within an hour or two. Where the source sits deep under a slab near one of the suburb's older streets, tracing can take longer, and we'll always tell you before committing to a repair.
The Rules That Apply in NSW
Water and drainage work in NSW is licensed-trade territory, and that includes any repair that follows a leak detection visit, not just the detection itself.
Occasionally the source sits past the property's own connection, on the mains side rather than yours. When that's the case we'll say so directly instead of quoting for work that belongs to someone else.
The Difference We Bring to Water Leak Detection
Proper equipment beats guesswork. Rather than a general area to start knocking on walls, you're told exactly where the leak sits.
Free quotes and a workmanship guarantee on the follow-up repair mean the detection visit isn't a cost with no follow-through.
Servicing Nearby Homes Too
A leak that turns out to be a fitting rather than a hidden pipe is Leaking Tap Repair territory, and anything that's actually burst belongs with Burst & Leaking Pipes.
We cover this the same way across Minchinbury, Rooty Hill and St Clair, on the same fixed-price basis regardless of which street you're on.

Common questions
Minchinbury Water Leak Detection FAQs
A handful of things worth knowing before a detection visit.
Does the $65 first-service offer apply to water leak detection?
It does. New customers get $65 off, water leak detection included, same as any other job we quote.
Can I find a hidden leak myself before calling?
You can rule a few things out, like checking the meter with every tap off. Tracing the actual leak under a slab or behind a wall needs the gear we carry, so that part's on us.
Will the wall or floor be safe to use again after you've found it?
Finding the leak doesn't damage anything further. Once located, we'll talk you through the repair options, including any making-good that follows.
How soon can someone come out for water leak detection?
Same day is the goal on this one. A meter that won't stop turning isn't something we'd leave you sitting on.
Do you do water leak detection outside normal hours?
Yes, a rising bill or a damp patch can show up any time, and our on-call roster covers this the same as everything else.
Do you guarantee your water leak detection work?
The diagnosis itself, and any repair that follows, both carry our lifetime labour warranty.
