Water & Pipe
Pool & External
Every property is different, so inspection time and cost depend on the size, pipe age, building materials, and leak complexity. To keep things clear, we publish our standard starting rates upfront for typical inspections in each category.
A straightforward water leak in a single-storey home starts at the standard rate, while complex multi-storey buildings or multi-system issues may cost more. We confirm the exact price during your booking call before work begins, with no hidden callout fees or surprise charges.
Our commitment is simple: honest pricing, clear communication, and respect for your time and budget. In many cases, one accurate detection report costs less than repeated plumber visits, exploratory work, or unnecessary repairs made without knowing the leak location.
You'll notice some leak detection companies keep pricing hidden — 'call for a quote' is their motto. There are reasons for this: they want flexibility in pricing, they want to negotiate per client, or they want to control the conversation. We do the opposite because we believe you deserve certainty. When you know what something costs, you can make a decision. You're not gambling.
Our pricing is public because our service is consistent and our costs are transparent. We don't have hidden surcharges for specific suburbs, vehicle dispatch fees, or surprise extras. We tell you the price upfront so you can make an informed decision about whether to book us. Transparency earns trust, and we've built our business on it.

Our starting rates cover standard residential cases. But some factors can increase the price:
Larger homes or multi-level buildings require more time and equipment coverage.
Simple single-point leaks cost less than distributed leaks across multiple areas.
If problem areas are hard to reach, require special equipment, or need permission to access, this may increase cost.
If you want additional testing beyond location (e.g. pressure testing of the repair), that's quoted separately.
Availability depends on location and job requirements.
We'll discuss all of this when we call to confirm your booking. You'll always know the final price before we arrive.
Every service, regardless of price, includes the same level of professionalism and care. You get a qualified specialist technician — not a subcontractor or apprentice. You get professional-grade detection equipment: the same acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and tracer gas systems used by civil engineers and councils across Australia.
You get a clear, written leak location report you can hand directly to your plumber or builder — they'll know exactly where to dig. You get referral advice on next steps for repair if requested, based on what we found. And you get our non-invasive guarantee: no damage to your property, guaranteed. Finally, you get direct communication from your technician on the day — no middleman, no miscommunication.
Many water authorities across Australia offer what's called a Leak Allowance — a credit applied to your water bill when you can demonstrate that an undetected leak occurred and has since been repaired. If you've paid a higher than normal water bill because of a leak, you may be able to claim a rebate.
Sydney Water, South East Water, Melbourne Water, and several councils in Queensland all offer some form of this allowance. The exact credit varies by authority and by the size of the leak, but in some cases it can reduce your bill by hundreds of dollars. Some authorities will adjust your account and credit future bills. Others provide a one-time rebate.
Our written detection report is accepted as supporting documentation by all major authorities. We include all the details they need: detection method, location, and findings. When you get your plumber's invoice for the repair, submit both documents to your water authority.
