Leak Detection in Malvern

What's usually behind it in Malvern

In older Malvern homes, leaks often come from galvanised pipes rusting through inside walls, or from joins on lead and copper mixes.

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 Malvern customers, that usually means same-day service.

Malvern is known for large period homes, many with extensions, several bathrooms and original drains that were never replaced.

How the job runs

How a Malvern job runs

  1. Confirm

    We check the meter to confirm there's a leak and estimate how much water is being lost.

  2. Isolate

    We isolate sections of the system to narrow down where it is.

  3. Pinpoint

    Thermal and acoustic tools locate the leak so we only open up what's needed.

  4. Repair

    We repair the leak and can provide a written report for your insurer or water authority.

FAQ

Leak Detection in Malvern: 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.
