Underground Leak Detection FAQs
What causes underground leaks in Perth?
Tree roots, corrosion, soil movement, and aging pipes are the most common causes.
How do I know if I have an underground leak?
Check your water meter — if it spins when taps are off, you may have a leak. Other signs include high bills, damp patches, and low water pressure.
Do you need to dig up my yard to find the leak?
No. We use non-invasive technology like acoustic and thermal imaging to locate leaks before any digging.
How much does underground leak detection cost?
Whilst costs can vary depending on the complexity, location of the leak and size of the network, we’ll always provide a clear plan of action once we’ve inspected the site. Modern leak detection methods are non-invasive, utilising technologies like thermal imaging and acoustic sensors, which can also save on repair costs.
