Noticed a Spike in Your Water Bill or a Damp Patch That Won't Dry?

Kenilworth Plumbing & Drains offers professional leak detection for homes and businesses that need answers fast, not guesswork.

Our Tidy Tradie guarantee means we leave your property as clean as we found it, and our lifetime workmanship guarantee covers every repair we carry out.

Kenilworth's mix of established homes, rural properties and hinterland soil conditions means leaks can hide almost anywhere, from the meter box down the driveway to a pinhole in an ageing copper hot water line.

Call {{phone_number}} and our local team will get to the bottom of it quickly and accurately.

Facing a Hidden Leak?

What a Hidden Water Leak Could Be Costing You

A leak you can't see is still a leak you're paying for. Rising water bills, a meter that keeps spinning when every tap is off, or a patch of lawn that stays soggy no matter the weather are all signs that water is escaping somewhere along your pipework. Left unresolved, these leaks can undermine slab foundations, rot timber framing and encourage mould in wall cavities.

Older Kenilworth homes with original copper hot water lines are particularly prone to pinhole leaks, where pitting slowly eats through the pipe wall until water begins seeping into the slab or ceiling below. Commercial properties face similar risks with ageing mains, irrigation lines and fire services that can leak for months before anyone notices the damage. Whether it's a slab leak, a cavity leak behind the shower, or a burst section of the mains between the meter and your house, the sooner it's found, the less it costs to fix.

    Our Solution

    How Kenilworth Plumbing & Drains Finds Leaks Fast in Kenilworth

    Kenilworth Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven, non-destructive techniques to locate the exact source of a leak before any pipework is opened up. Rather than guessing or breaking into slabs and walls unnecessarily, our team narrows down the problem using specialist equipment designed for accuracy.

    • Acoustic leak detection with ground microphones and correlators to listen for escaping water in mains, copper and poly lines
    • Thermal imaging to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Tracer gas detection for plastic pipework and sites where acoustic methods are inconclusive
    • Isolation testing and meter monitoring to confirm whether a spinning meter points to a mains, toilet or irrigation leak
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, suitable for insurance claims

    Once we've marked the exact leak location, we can carry out the repair straight away, whether that's a patch repair, a section of copper replacement or a full trenchless relining solution, all backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection Questions from Kenilworth Locals

      Leak detection can raise plenty of questions, especially if you've never had to deal with a hidden leak before. Our experienced team has answered these questions time and again for Kenilworth homes and businesses. Here's what we're asked most often, along with straightforward answers based on what we see in the field.

      The most common signs are an unexplained rise in your water bill, a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap and appliance is switched off, or damp patches on walls, ceilings or the yard that don't relate to weather. Some homeowners also notice a musty smell indoors, warm patches on flooring above a hot water leak, or a hissing sound near walls or under the floor. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth having a professional check things over before the damage spreads further.
      Not usually. We rely on non-invasive methods like acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas to narrow the leak down to a precise location before any pipework is opened up. This approach means we can mark the exact spot that needs attention rather than opening up large sections of wall, floor or garden on the chance of finding the problem.
      Yes, slab leaks are more common than most people realise, particularly in homes with ageing copper or poly pipework running beneath the floor. These leaks often show up as warm or damp patches on the floor, a spike in water usage, or a musty smell in a particular room. Specialised acoustic and thermal equipment can trace the leak's location without needing to break up the entire slab.
      A plumbing leak involves clean drinking water escaping from supply pipes, whereas stormwater and sewer issues relate to drainage systems carrying rainwater or wastewater away from your property. The symptoms can look similar on the surface, such as a wet patch in the yard, but the cause and the fix are quite different. Part of our job is correctly identifying which system is at fault so the right repair is carried out, rather than digging up the wrong pipe.
      Yes, we can provide a written leak detection report that includes photos and marked locations, which many insurers and restoration companies accept as evidence of the source and cause of a leak. This documentation can be helpful if you're lodging a claim for water damage and need to demonstrate where and how the leak occurred.
      It's always worth getting a suspected leak checked rather than waiting to see if it gets worse, since even a slow leak can cause considerable damage over time if it's hidden behind a wall or under a slab. Give our team a call and describe what you've noticed. We can talk through the signs and arrange a time to come out and locate the source properly.
