An unusually high water bill or a damp patch that won’t dry out usually means a hidden leak. We use electronic and acoustic detection to pinpoint leaks inside walls, under floors and underground, so we open up one spot instead of digging up the whole garden or breaking through several walls to find it.
Every leak detection job comes with the same standard: a clear price before we start, a qualified plumber on site, and a written guarantee on the work.

How it works
Leak Detection, done properly
How electronic leak detection works
We use acoustic and electronic equipment that picks up the sound and signal of water escaping through a pipe, even behind walls, under floors or below ground, to narrow down the leak’s exact location before any work starts.
Reports for insurance claims
Where a leak has caused damage, we provide a written report covering what we found and where, which most insurers will accept as supporting documentation for a claim.
What it costs
Leak detection runs R800-R2 500 depending on the size of the property and how accessible the suspected leak area is. Any repair to fix the leak once found is quoted separately.
Areas we cover
We provide leak detection across Sandton, including:
Read your water meter last thing at night, then again before anyone uses water in the morning. If the number has moved, you have a leak somewhere in the system.
Not to find the leak. Electronic detection locates it first, so any digging or breaking is limited to the actual leak point, not a search area.
Yes, we provide a written leak detection report that most insurers accept as part of a claim.
