Water leaks are not always visible. Damp walls, unexplained water loss, pressure drops and high municipal bills can all point to concealed pipe failures. Our leak detection service focuses on narrowing down the source before repair work begins.
Depending on the installation and symptoms, diagnosis may include pressure testing and specialist leak-detection methods. Once the likely failure point is established, we can explain the repair or rerouting options and proceed with approved plumbing work.
For underground, wall, floor and difficult-to-access leaks across Pretoria East and Centurion, start by telling us what you are seeing and how long the problem has been present.
Frequently asked questions
When should I book leak detection?
An unexplained increase in water use, recurring damp or a suspected concealed leak can justify an assessment. Tell us what you have noticed and whether the problem affects a particular part of the property.
Does leak detection include repairing the leak?
Finding the source and repairing the pipe are separate parts of the work. We explain the findings and quote the necessary repair or rerouting, including access requirements, before proceeding.
Will walls or floors need to be opened?
The aim is to narrow down the fault before opening an area. Some access may still be needed to confirm or repair the leak. We discuss the likely disturbance and reinstatement scope with you.
