What's usually behind it in Fitzroy
Fitzroy terraces often have pipes running under timber floors, where leaks rot joists before anyone sees water.
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.
Fitzroy's terraces are some of the oldest homes we work on, with original cast iron and earthenware still in the ground.
When to call
- A water bill much higher than usual
- The water meter moving with all taps off
- Damp patches, bubbling paint or mould
- The sound of running water when nothing is on
- Warm spots on the floor (a hot water leak)

Leak Detection in Fitzroy: 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.
