What's usually behind it in Waterways
In newer Waterways homes, leaks often come from shower bases, push-fit joints and flexible hoses that failed early. We find them without ripping out tiles.
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 Waterways customers, that usually means same-day service.
Most Waterways homes are recent estate builds, so plumbing is modern, but early failures in flexi hoses, shower bases and hot water units are common.
When to call
- A water bill much higher than usual

How a Waterways job runs
Confirm
We check the meter to confirm there's a leak and estimate how much water is being lost.
Isolate
We isolate sections of the system to narrow down where it is.
Pinpoint
Thermal and acoustic tools locate the leak so we only open up what's needed.
Repair
We repair the leak and can provide a written report for your insurer or water authority.

Leak Detection in Waterways: 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.
