Water Leak Detection for Cremorne Homes, Day or Night
1000+ five-star reviews
Gerard Street and the older streets around it still carry a fair share of original pre-1940 pipework, and that stock is exactly where hidden leaks tend to start. A slow leak under a slab or behind a wall can run for weeks with barely a sign.
By the time a stain shows on the ceiling or the water bill jumps, real damage may already be underway. That's what this service is for.

What Water Leak Detection Covers
Finding the source, not just the symptom. Acoustic gear and pressure testing narrow down exactly where the water's escaping, even when it's metres from where it's showing.
Confirming it before we touch anything. No guessing, no unnecessary digging or wall-opening on a hunch.
Fixing what caused it. Once the source is confirmed, the actual repair, whether that's a fitting, a joint or a length of failed pipe.
The Warning Signs to Act On
An unexplained jump in the water bill, a damp patch that won't dry out, or the sound of running water when every tap's off are the classic tells. A meter that keeps spinning with all fixtures closed confirms it.
Warped skirting boards or a musty smell in one room and nowhere else are worth checking too. Both point to moisture building up somewhere it shouldn't be.
What We See on Cremorne Jobs
Original galvanised and clay pipework from before 1940 sits under a good number of homes off Gerard Street and the surrounding blocks, and it's well past the age where failures start turning up. A joint that's held for decades can let go with almost no warning.
Apartment blocks add their own version of the problem. A shared riser feeding several units can hide a slow leak inside a wall cavity for months before anyone notices water tracking into a neighbour's ceiling below.
How We Price Water Leak Detection
The detection work itself is quoted flat, no matter how long tracing the source takes. The repair then gets its own price, confirmed with you before anything's touched.
How the Job Runs, Start to Finish
- The van that answers is the van that fixes. Call any hour and we dispatch a fully stocked emergency vehicle, not a look-and-quote visit.
- We carry what emergencies actually need. Fittings, valves, hot water parts, drain gear. Most repairs happen first visit because the part's already on board.
- The price is fixed before we open the toolbox. Quoted plainly on-site, approved by you, then we start.
- Fixed, tested, done tonight. We verify the repair under normal use and leave the job safe, not waiting on parts.
Tracing a leak on an original Gerard Street-era system can take longer than a newer home, simply because there's more pipe run to check. Most jobs still land inside a couple of hours from first arriving to the repair being tested.
The NSW Rules for Water Leak Detection
Only a licensed plumber can legally open up and repair pressurised water pipework. That protects you from a patch job that leaks again inside a year.
It also matters for insurance. Unlicensed repair work can complicate a claim if the same leak causes damage again down the track.
Why This Is Our Kind of Job
Tracking down a leak that isn't obvious is exactly the kind of problem we like solving properly, not guessing at. Every fault gets explained in plain language once we've found it.

We're also on call in Neutral Bay, Cammeray, North Sydney and Crows Nest. A leak that's already caused a burst pipe or fed into a blocked drain gets the full picture sorted in one visit.

Good questions, straight answers
Urgent Water Leak Detection FAQs
Clear answers, nothing glossed over.
What's usually behind a job like this?
A perished flexi hose, a cracked fitting under the house, or old galvanised pipe finally giving out. All three turn up regularly around here.
Should I attempt a fix before calling a plumber?
Only turning the water off if you can find the leak's isolation point. Chasing the source yourself usually makes it worse.
Will the work area be left tidy?
Yes. Any flooring or wall section opened to trace the leak goes back as close to original as the job allows.
Can I keep the water on before the visit?
If the leak's slow and contained, yes. If it's actively spreading, shut it off at the meter and wait for us.
Will I pay anything for the visit itself?
No. The callout is $0, whether the source turns up quickly or takes some tracing.
Do you do water leak detection after hours and on weekends?
Every hour of every day. A leak doesn't wait for business hours and neither do we.
