A real person answers, day or night
A rising water bill is usually the first clue
Most hidden leaks show up on the water bill before they ever show up as visible water. Call (02) 9072 0513 and describe what you've noticed, and a plumber can talk through what a rising bill or damp patch usually means.

Leak detection services
Whatever's hiding and wherever it's hiding, here's the approach:
Underground leak tracing
Buried supply and drainage lines get traced properly using acoustic listening gear and tracer gas equipment, narrowing a leak's location down to a small, specific area well before any ground actually gets disturbed or dug up.
Slab leak detection
A fault hiding under a concrete slab is pinpointed properly using thermal imaging and acoustic methods together, identifying the precise spot so any access ultimately needed is kept as small and genuinely targeted as possible.
In-wall leak tracing
A leak hidden inside a wall cavity is traced properly without any guesswork, using the same careful detection approach to confirm the exact location before a single sheet of plasterboard or tiling gets touched.
Water meter and pressure testing
Where the source isn't obvious, isolating sections of the property's plumbing and monitoring the water meter properly helps confirm whether a leak genuinely exists at all and roughly whereabouts it sits before further tracing even begins.

Common signs of a hidden leak
Two patterns show up again and again before a leak is actually found:
Unexplained water bill increases
A bill that climbs without any obvious change in household water use is one of the clearest signals of a hidden leak, and comparing usage against the property's water meter readings usually confirms it quickly.
Damp patches with no clear source
A patch of damp flooring, a musty smell or a soft spot underfoot with no visible pipe nearby is a common sign of a slab or underground leak that's been running for some time already.
Why finding a leak early matters
A leak that isn't found stays expensive and gets worse the longer it runs:
- Wasted water adds up daily A hidden leak left unlocated keeps wasting water continuously, running the bill up well past what finding and fixing it early would ever have cost.
- Structural damage builds quietly Water running unseen beneath a slab or inside a wall cavity can affect foundations, flooring and framing well before any visible sign appears above ground.
- Guesswork digging causes unnecessary damage Breaking into a wall or yard without first locating the leak precisely often means opening the wrong spot, adding repair cost that proper detection would have avoided.
How it works
Our leak detection process, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0513 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Located, then repaired
The right gear pins the fault down to its precise location first, then the repair itself gets scoped and quoted separately, once there's real clarity on what's actually involved and whereabouts it sits.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Randwick
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Randwick works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.

Good questions, straight answers
Leak detection questions Randwick locals ask
Water bill's jumped but there's no puddle or wet patch to be found, what's actually happening?
That's a classic sign of a hidden leak somewhere in the supply line, often buried or tucked inside a wall cavity, proper detection gear tracks it down without pulling the property apart.
Old double-brick cottage with solid floors, is finding a leak underneath much harder there?
Not with the right gear, acoustic and thermal detection work through timber and concrete floors alike, an older home just sometimes takes a little more care around original finishes.
Does finding a leak always mean digging up the yard or breaking into a wall?
Rarely upfront, detection equipment narrows the leak's location closely before anything gets opened up, keeping any digging or wall access to the smallest area genuinely necessary.
Could a leak have been running for a long time before the water bill showed it?
Quite possibly, a slow leak in an underground line can run for months before usage climbs enough to notice, which is often why the eventual bill jump feels sudden.
Can a leak under a slab actually be fixed without ripping up the whole floor?
Often yes, once it's precisely located, a slab leak can sometimes be accessed through a small, targeted opening or rerouted above the slab instead of digging through it entirely.
Is leak detection itself an expensive exercise before any repair even starts?
The detection visit is quoted upfront like any other job, and finding the leak accurately usually saves money overall by avoiding guesswork digging that finds nothing.
