Leak Detection in Canterbury-Bankstown
Most Canterbury-Bankstown homes were built in the post-war decades, and the buried copper and galvanised services that came with them are now thin, corroded and leaking in ways nobody sees. Because so many properties here have added granny flats, extensions and second bathrooms, there are extra buried runs under concrete paths and driveways that never appear on any plan. High occupancy also masks the symptom: with a large household, a jump in water use is easy to explain away rather than investigate. Commercial premises along Bankstown, Campsie and Punchbowl retail strips have their own hidden runs under slabs and tiled floors. We prove the loss at the meter, locate it acoustically and thermally, then open the smallest access needed.

How we handle leak detection in Canterbury-Bankstown
1. Isolate and pressure test
We shut off sections of the system and watch the meter and gauge. That confirms there really is a leak, tells us whether it is on the hot or cold side, and narrows it to a section of the property before anything is opened up.
2. Acoustic and thermal location
Acoustic equipment listens for the sound of water escaping under slabs and paving, while thermal imaging shows temperature patterns through floors and walls. Together they pinpoint the leak rather than leaving us to guess a metre either way.
3. Non-destructive access
Once the leak is marked, we open the smallest area that lets us reach it, whether that means a single tile, a small slab core or a neat wall access panel, instead of demolishing a bathroom to find one pipe.
4. Repair and verify
We repair the failed section, re-pressurise the system and re-check the meter with everything closed. You get a report showing where the leak was, what caused it and confirmation the system now holds pressure.
Every job is quoted on site and agreed in writing before work starts, so there are no surprises.

Recent leak detection jobs in Canterbury-Bankstown
Buried service leak, Revesby
A high bill in a busy household turned out to be a corroded buried service under a concrete path. Acoustic tracing marked the point, and one small cut in the path allowed the repair and reinstatement.
Granny flat line, Yagoona
An added rear dwelling had a buried supply line nobody had documented. Isolation testing proved the loss was on that run, which we traced across the yard and repaired at the failure point.
Shopfront slab leak, Campsie
A retail tenancy had damp along one wall. Thermal imaging located a leaking line under the slab. We cored one small opening after hours, repaired it and had the floor reinstated before opening.
