Signs you may have a hidden leak
- Unexplained jump in your water bill
- Hissing or running-water sounds when taps are off
- Damp, musty smells; swollen skirting or bubbling paint
- Warm or cold “hot spots” on floors (slab leaks)
- Mould growth or persistent condensation
- Meter moves when no fixtures are running (easy home test)
If any of these sound familiar, call us before the damage spreads.
How we find leaks (our toolkit)
- Acoustic listening: Highly sensitive equipment “hears” leak signatures through floors and walls, effectively detecting even hidden leaks.
- Thermal imaging (infrared): Especially useful for detecting hot water leaks, this method reveals temperature anomalies from hot or cold water movement.
- Moisture meters & mapping: Pinpoints damp paths without guesswork, effectively detecting the source of leaks.
- Pressure & isolation testing: Zoning the system to narrow the search quickly, allowing leaks to be detected effectively.
- Tracer gas (harmless, non-toxic): Finds minuscule leaks where water tests fail, ensuring even the smallest leaks are detected.
- Dye tests & CCTV cameras: Ideal for showers, wastes and stormwater/sewer lines, effectively detecting leaks in hard-to-reach areas.
- Roof inspections: Visual + hose testing to confirm entry points, detecting leaks before they cause extensive damage.
You’ll get a clear explanation on site—what we tested, what we found, and the best next step.
We’ll aim to minimise disruption and protect finishes where possible. We also offer advice on the best repair options for your water system to ensure long-term reliability.
Common plumbing issues
On the Central Coast, property owners often face a range of plumbing issues that can lead to significant headaches if not addressed promptly. Leaking pipes, roof leaks, and broken pipes are among the most common problems, each capable of causing extensive damage to walls, floors, and even the structural integrity of your property. Water leaks are notorious for creating wet patches, encouraging mould growth, and driving up water bills—especially when left undetected.
Other common signs of plumbing issues include cracks appearing in walls or floors, unexplained increases in your water bills, and unusual noises coming from your plumbing system. These warning signs should never be ignored, as they often indicate underlying leaks or damage that require immediate attention. Highly skilled plumbers on the Central Coast can inspect your property, detect leaks using the latest technology, and offer expert advice on the best course of action for repairs. By acting quickly and relying on professional inspection and repair services, you can prevent minor plumbing issues from turning into major, costly problems and keep your property in top condition.
Emergency leaks & burst pipes
A burst line can cause serious damage in minutes. Our team responds quickly to plumbing emergencies, often arriving within hours. We provide 24/7 callouts across the Coast—shut off the water at the meter (usually located at the front boundary of your property) if safe to do so, then call us. We’ll isolate the problem, make safe repairs and, if needed, return for permanent works once everything is dry.
Water-saving & prevention tips
- Check your meter last thing at night and first thing in the morning with all fixtures off.
- Replace ageing flexi hoses proactively (a common failure point).
- Add strainers and keep wastes clear to avoid overflows that look like leaks.
- Service mixers and toilets before slow drips become major problems.
- Consider smart leak alarms or auto shut-off valves in high-risk areas.

Case study: Slab leak in Terrigal
A homeowner noticed warm tiles and higher bills. The meter test showed usage with everything off. Our thermal camera found a heat trail; acoustic listening confirmed a pressurised hot line leaking under the slab. Instead of breaking up floors, we re-routed a new line through the ceiling space, isolated the failed section and reinstated finishes the same day. Bills returned to normal, and the floor stayed intact.
