What's usually behind it in Surrey Hills
We find a lot of Surrey Hills leaks where old pipes were joined to new ones during renovations, often hidden behind tiled walls.
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 Surrey Hills customers, that usually means same-day service.
Surrey Hills is family streets and period-style homes, many with original pipework hidden under extensions.
When to call
- A water bill much higher than usual

Leak Detection in Surrey Hills: 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.
