Our plumber will use an electrical current device to map out your drainage or pipelines. The water will then be drained from the pipes. High-pressure nitrogen will be pumped into your pipes. Nitrogen, being one of the lightest gases will find any cracks, breaks or holes and escape to the surface. There will usually be a noise associated with the escaping nitrogen. Our sonar listening device will be used over the mapped out area and any leaks will be detected.
Our plumbers can access your plumbing system and inspect your drains with a CCTV drain camera inspection tool. The camera will give us a clear and direct location of where the water leak may be inside your drains.

You can lose a few litres of water an hour from a slow dripping tap and thousands of litres a day from a constantly running toilet. If the leak is from a hot water pipe or a pumped water supply, you'll also be facing a significant energy cost. So that makes fast water leak detection and repair even more important. Sydney Water is responsible for the meter on your property, but the property owner is responsible for all other pipes and fittings that connect to our water network.
If you have your own meter, this simple test will only take a few minutes. For this test to work, it is important not to intentionally use any water at your property.
If the numbers have changed, unfortunately, you have a leak. The greater the change, the bigger the leak from your water pipe.
If your property doesn't have an individual meter, checking for leaking pipes can be a little more complicated. Almost all properties have water meters, but you may share a meter with your neighbours. This makes it hard to tell if any leaks are in your pipes or your neighbour's pipes.
