What's usually behind it in Dandenong South
Many Dandenong South homes from the 60s and 70s have copper pipes under concrete slabs, and pinhole leaks there can run for months unnoticed.
A high water bill or a damp patch with no obvious cause usually means a hidden leak in a wall, under a slab or in the yard. We use thermal cameras, acoustic listening gear and pressure tests to pin it down before opening anything up. For Dandenong South customers, that usually means same-day service.
Most Dandenong South homes are post-war and 1970s brick veneer on decent-sized blocks, which means long sewer runs and plenty of tree roots. We also look after the shops, workshops and warehouses in Dandenong South.
When to call
- A water bill much higher than usual

Leak Detection in Dandenong South: common questions
Can you find a leak without breaking walls?
Usually, yes. Thermal and acoustic tools let us pinpoint the leak, so we only open the small area needed.
Will I get a report for insurance?
Yes. We can provide a written leak report with photos for your insurer.
Can I get a rebate on my water bill?
Water authorities may offer a leak allowance once the leak is repaired. Our report helps with that claim.
How do I check for a leak myself?
Turn off every tap, note the water meter reading, wait 30 minutes without using water and check again. If it moved, call us.
