What's usually behind it in Lower Plenty
Leaks on Lower Plenty acreage can sit in long underground water services or tank lines for months. We trace them with acoustic gear and pressure tests.
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 Lower Plenty customers, that usually means same-day service.
Many Lower Plenty properties sit on acreage, often with tank water, LPG and septic or long sewer connections that need a plumber who knows rural systems.
When to call
- A water bill much higher than usual

Leak Detection in Lower Plenty: 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.
