Frequently Asked

Leak Detection Questions

How accurate is non-destructive leak detection?

Within 100–300mm in most cases. We combine acoustic, thermal and moisture meter data to narrow the location before any cutting or digging — saving you thousands in unnecessary repairs.

Will my insurance cover the leak detection cost?

Most home insurance policies in Australia cover leak detection as part of a water damage claim. We supply a full written report with photos to support your claim.

How long does a leak detection inspection take?

Most domestic inspections take 1–2 hours. Larger properties or multiple suspected leaks may take longer. We provide a fixed quote before any inspection starts.

*$0 call-out fee applies to standard call-outs during business hours when work proceeds. After-hours, weekend and public-holiday call-outs may incur a fee — any charges are always confirmed upfront before work begins.
