Leak Detection Technology Near You


Electrical Current & Pressure Testing

A vast majority of leak detecting can be performed by using a combination of electrical currents and pressure testing.

  • Find Out More

    Electrical current monitoring is the most widely used method for monitoring for water leaks as it can detect small changes in currents that indicate a water leak. 


    Pressure testing is also commonly used to test a line's integrity, and it involves using compressed air or water to create pressure on the pipe and then measuring any changes in pressure. Both methods provide valuable information about the status of the pipeline, and it is always a good idea to have both electrical current monitoring and pressure testing done on your pipeline regularly. With these two tests, you can ensure that your pipelines are safe, efficient, and leak-free. 


    If you ever detect that you have a leaking pipe or a constantly running water supply without any water usage, it's important to call in a professional as soon as possible to help with our leak detection equipment.

CCTV Leak Detection

Sometimes the source of a leak may be from other plumbing infrastructures such as the stormwater or sewerage system. In this instance, leak detection can be carried out with CCTV drain cameras.

  • Find Out More

    This is usually a more cost-effective measure than an excavation and visual inspection as it eliminates any guesswork for an underground leak. Once the source of the leak is identified, our plumbing professionals will provide advice on how to proceed with a repair and/or restoration job. 


    We also offer pipe lining or pipe bursting services, which are two trenchless pipe repair methods. Trenchless technology eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming excavation, allowing us to fix your plumbing problem with minimal disruption of your property. In addition, our professionals can provide advice on water-saving fixtures to help you save money in the long run.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is one of the leak detection tools we use. This tool is most effective when used by a plumber to locate a hot water leak. 

  • Find Out More

    Hot water leaking leaves warm patches that may not be visible to the eye but can be seen with this equipment. Inspecting walls, floors, and ceilings in a non-destructive manner saves you money, just the way we like it. 


    Call us to discuss if imaging is the right service for you.

Why Dye Testing Matters

As pipes age and undergo shifts with time, it's possible that your home is linked to a sanitary sewer system intended solely for indoor wastewater. However, there could be issues such as improper connections or damages to the existing connection. Consequently, outdoor wastewater might be infiltrating your sanitary sewer, leading to a myriad of potential plumbing complications.


Dye testing serves as a plumbing technique devised to ascertain the type of sewer your residence is connected to and identify if any runoff from your yard is seeping into your sanitary drain, thereby causing these plumbing issues.


While dye testing might appear straightforward, it's imperative to schedule this service with residential plumbing experts near Sydney, rather than attempting a DIY approach (dye it yourself!). This is because your plumber possesses insights into your system's requirements, understands the sewer connection points of your home, and can select the most suitable location for conducting dye testing.


A dye test can usually be performed in the following areas,


  • Toilets
  • Sinks
  • Showers
  • Sewer Lines


If you suspect a water leak in a specific wet area, contact Network Plumbing today at
02 9023 3232, and we'll conduct a dye test in that location.

    Yes, by a limited amount. Monitoring your water meter is a great way to keep tabs on any leaks that may be occurring. Water leaks often lie undetected for too long. Here is a simple test, make sure no plumbing appliances are in use, inspect your water meter. Report down the numbers visible on your meter, come back in an hour to see if the numbers have changed? Is it still ticking over? If the answer is yes, then you have a water leak that needs attention. Customers sometimes forget that even a slow or long term leak can cause high water bills over time.

  • WHY DO WASHING MACHINES LEAK?

    There could be several reasons. If you are experiencing water loss, first check the water pipe connecting to the machine that carries the water supply. If it's not that, then it might be a good idea to contact the manufacturer as there might be a problem with the machine itself rather than the water pipe. Water loss in a Sydney home can be damaging, so get it looked at right away. You should be able to find the manufacturer contact details on the machine or online.
