A real person answers, day or night
Find exactly where the water is escaping before anyone lifts a tile
A rising water bill, a warm patch on the floor or the sound of running water with every tap off all point to a concealed leak. We trace the source on (02) 9072 0502.

How we locate a hidden leak
Finding a leak without tearing up the house takes the right tools used in the right order, so we combine acoustic, pressure and camera methods until the source is fixed to one spot:
Acoustic listening
Sensitive ground microphones let us hear water escaping a pressurised line through concrete and tile, so on the solid post-war slabs common here we follow the sound to the leak rather than opening up the floor to look for it.
Pressure testing
Isolating and charging a section of pipe tells us at once whether it holds or bleeds down, which confirms there really is a leak and narrows it to the supply, the waste or the hot line before we dig anywhere.
Thermal imaging
A thermal camera reads the temperature shadow a hot water leak leaves across a floor or wall, so a warm trail invisible to the eye shows up clearly and points us straight to the pipe losing water behind the surface.
Drain and pipe cameras
Pushing a camera through a suspect drain or supply run shows the crack, joint or root that a listening device alone cannot confirm, giving you a clear picture of the fault and the exact metres of pipe that need attention.

The leaks we are most often called to trace
The unexplained water bill
A water bill that jumps with no change in habits is the classic sign of a concealed leak, a slab or supply weep running day and night, and a meter test with acoustic tracing pins down where it hides.
Damp with no clear source
Rising damp on a wall or a cupboard base that never dries points to a leak behind it, and rather than open the plaster on a hunch we confirm the exact spot first and open it just once.
Running water you can hear
The faint hiss of water moving when every tap is closed almost always means a pressurised line is leaking under the floor or in a wall, and pinpoint detection turns that vague sound into a fixed spot on the slab.
Why pinpointing the leak first saves you money
Guesswork is what makes leak repairs expensive, because every wrong hole is a wall or floor to rebuild, so finding the exact source first keeps the fix small and the bill honest:
Less demolition, lower cost
Unfound leaks keep costing

How it works
How a leak detection job runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Traced and marked
On-site we work the suspected zone with acoustic, pressure and thermal gear, flag the leak's exact position on the floor or wall, and show you the reading, so the repair that follows targets only the pipe that has failed.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Kingsgrove for leak detection
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Kingsgrove works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Suburbs beyond the border we look after
Concealed-leak tracing runs well past the local streets, reaching homes in Bexley North, Bexley, Beverly Hills, Earlwood and Clemton Park, where the same slab-era pipework hides the same quiet leaks and gets the same upfront pricing.
Good questions, straight answers
Leak detection questions Kingsgrove locals ask
Why are hidden leaks so common in these older homes?
Many homes here still run galvanised supply from before the 1970s, and it corrodes from the inside to a pinhole that weeps unseen behind walls and under slabs for months.
Can you find a leak without breaking any tiles?
Usually yes; acoustic listening, pressure testing and thermal imaging locate most leaks without cutting, so we only ever open the single spot the readings point to.
How do you know it is a slab leak?
A pressure test that bleeds down with the fixtures shut, plus a warm trail on a thermal camera, tells us the leak sits in a pipe cast into the slab.
What does leak detection cost?
Your plumber sets one written price for the detection and any repair before starting, the call out costs you $0, and nothing extra is added later.
Is a jump in my water bill always a leak?
Not always, but a bill that climbs with no change in use is the most common sign, and a meter test quickly shows whether water is escaping somewhere.
Do you repair the leak once you find it?
Yes; we locate the fault and carry out the repair, whether that is a slab pipe, a supply line or a fitting, all under the one agreed price.
