Slab Leak Detection in Sydney
Slab leak detection in Sydney: a slab leak is a water pipe leaking inside or under a concrete floor, and we find the spot before anything is cut.
Tell us what's happening
The short answer
We locate a leaking pipe under or in a concrete floor with a meter check, thermal camera and acoustic gear or tracer gas, so any cut stays small.
How it works
Step 1: Call or book online
Tell us what is happening. We ask the right questions and book a time that suits you.
Step 2: We find the cause
A licensed plumber diagnoses it properly, with a drain camera, leak detection or a pressure test where it helps.
Step 3: A fixed price, agreed first
You agree the price before any work starts. We quote the job, not the hour, so there are no surprise charges.
Step 4: Done right, guaranteed
We finish the job, clean up, and back our workmanship with a lifetime labour guarantee.
Step 5: You know the price first
The figure for the whole job, in writing, before anyone starts. That figure is what turns up on the invoice.

Questions and answers
We prove it on the meter, work out whether the hot or cold line is losing water, map the route with the thermal camera, then pinpoint it with acoustic gear or tracer gas. Nothing is cut to find it.
Usually a small square over the mark, because the pipe is located before a saw comes near it. On some runs a reroute overhead avoids cutting the slab at all.
Water under a slab softens the fill it sits on and pushes moisture up into skirtings, carpet and plaster. On a hot line, the water heater keeps running around the clock, so the energy bill climbs alongside the water bill.
Yes. A cracked waste pipe in the slab only leaks when that fixture is used, so the meter stays still. We check that with the fixture on and off, and a drain camera shows the inside of the pipe.
It makes thermal imaging less useful, because the covering hides the heat. Acoustic gear and tracer gas still work, and sometimes we ask to lift a corner of carpet near the suspected spot.
On most slabs we get it to within about a hand's width. That is close enough for a small square cut rather than a trench.
