Common Sources of Hidden Water Leaks
Hidden water leaks often go unnoticed until they cause major property damage. These are the most common sources found in Auckland homes and businesses.
1. Pipework Leaks in Walls and Under Floors
Pipes behind walls, under floors, or above ceilings can leak silently for months. Over time, they cause mould, musty odours, and structural damage that is expensive to repair.
2. Underground Service Line Leaks
Pipes running underground to outdoor taps or meters can fail without obvious signs. The only clues may be sudden water bill spikes or damp, soggy patches in your yard, requiring drain repair or full sewer repair.
3. Appliance and Fixture Leaks
Dishwashers, washing machines, and bathroom fittings sometimes leak out of sight. These hidden leaks can warp floors, loosen tiles, and spread water into cabinetry.
4. Roof and Gutter Drainage Failures
Clogged gutters or failed flashing often mimic plumbing leaks. Left unresolved, they lead to ceiling stains, sagging linings, and long-term water damage.
Even a small hidden leak can waste thousands of litres of water, drive up bills, and damage flooring, walls, or foundations. Moisture also creates health risks by mould growth. Detecting leaks early protects both your property and your family’s safety.

Water Leak Detection Services We Offer
We provide a wide range of leak detection services using advanced tools and proven methods. These approaches allow us to find hidden or underground leaks quickly, without unnecessary digging or disruption.
Acoustic Leak Location
Acoustic detection uses sensitive equipment to listen for the sound of water escaping from pressurised pipes. It is highly effective for leaks inside walls, under floors, or outdoors. This method reduces guesswork and limits damage to your property during repairs.
Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
Thermal cameras show temperature changes caused by leaking water, especially from hot water lines. This lets us detect hidden leaks behind walls or floors without removing panels or tiles. It is a fast, non-invasive option for homes and commercial buildings.
Underground Pipe Tracing
Electronic tracing finds both metallic and non-metallic water lines buried underground. This allows us to locate leaks and create accurate maps of your property’s pipe layout. It is particularly useful for large properties or sites with incomplete building plans.
Leak Testing and Reporting
We use pressure testing and flow measurement to confirm hidden leaks in your water system. Meter behaviour under controlled tests gives reliable evidence of a problem. Detailed reports are provided to support insurance claims or compliance checks.
Accurate leak detection prevents wasted water, higher bills, and structural damage to your property. Leaving leaks unchecked can create costly repairs and serious compliance issues. Contact our team today for professional water leak detection and fast, effective solutions.
How We Detect Water Leaks
We use a structured process to locate hidden water leaks with minimal disruption. Our goal is to find the problem quickly and show you clear options for repair.
Step 1: Check for Leak Signs
We begin by listening to your concerns and inspecting for signs like damp patches, mould, or rising water bills. This helps us confirm if a leak is likely.
Step 2: Use Detection Equipment
We use tools such as acoustic detectors and pipe locators to track leaks without damaging walls or floors. This allows us to identify the source accurately.
Step 3: Confirm the Leak Source
We run targeted tests to confirm the exact location of the leak. This avoids guesswork and ensures repairs are done only where necessary.
Step 4: Explain Options and Next Steps
We share the results with you and explain repair options. Our team answers your questions, so you can decide the best way forward.
