Leak Detection and Pipe Repairs in Sydney

Good Hands offers specialised leak detection services in Inner West, Sydney, utilising advanced technology and expert techniques. Our experienced technicians are equipped to handle all types of leak challenges, ensuring accurate detection and effective resolution.

What Is Leak Detection?

Leak detection plumbing locates hidden leaks without tearing up your home to find them. We use thermal imaging, acoustic listening, CCTV cameras and radio pipe location to pinpoint the exact source. The same tools help us spot related plumbing problems, such as blocked drains or a faulty backflow.

Signs You Need Leak Detection

Your water bill climbs but your usage hasn't changed.

Damp patches, bubbling paint or a musty smell appear on walls and ceilings.

You hear water running when every tap is off or the water meter keeps ticking over.

Water pressure drops at certain taps or showers.

If you smell gas instead, that needs our gas plumbing team right away.

The quality of the vanity instantly was excellent and the plumbers kept me updated throughout the job as well as performing thorough testing prior to leaving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Leak Detection Worth It?

Leak detection is a valuable service that saves you from potential property damage and costly repairs.

What Is The Most Effective Leak Detection Method?

The effectiveness varies based on the situation, but our range of advanced methods ensures the best approach for each case. We use a variety of innovative methods like Thermal Imaging, Radio Pipe Location, Acoustic detection, CCTV inspections, and Nitrogen Pressure Testing.

What Are The Signs Of A Water Leak In Your House?

Common signs include increased water bills, damp spots, reduced water pressure and unusual water noises.

I Can Hear Water Running Inside My Walls, But There Is No Visible Leak. What Should I Do?

Turn off every tap, then check your water meter. If the dial still moves, water is leaking somewhere. Turn off the mains and call us. We’ll find the leak and only open the wall where the pipe needs repair.

My Water Bill Has Gone Up Significantly, but I Cannot Find Where The Water Is Going. Could I Have A Hidden Leak?

Leaks through grout, silicone or a tap seal can be repaired. A failed membrane under the tiles means rebuilding the shower. We test both before we quote.

How Do I Know If My Leaking Shower Needs A Repair Or A Full Replacement?

It could be. A leaking pipe under a slab or inside a wall can waste plenty of water unnoticed. Turn off every tap and watch your meter. If it moves, give us a call.
