A real person answers, day or night
The leak that's costing you before you've even seen it
A water bill climbing without an obvious cause usually means water is escaping somewhere unseen. Ring (02) 9072 0511 and find out exactly how detection actually tracks it down.
Ground and additions both hide the signs
Shale and sandstone on the plateau mask where a leak actually is
A second-storey addition adds a whole new place for water to hide
Leak detection services we provide
Every job gets matched to the method that actually suits it, well before anyone reaches for a shovel or a jackhammer:
Acoustic leak detection
Specialised listening equipment picks out the distinctive noise pressurised water makes as it escapes through pipe, slab or soil, narrowing the leak's location precisely enough to plan a genuinely targeted repair instead of an educated guess.
Thermal imaging
A thermal camera reveals subtle temperature differences created by moving water behind walls or under floors, confirming what the acoustic reading already suggests and giving us a second, independent way to be certain before anyone lifts a tile.
Slab leak tracing
Leaks running beneath a concrete slab get carefully traced to their precise point using pressure testing and listening equipment together, so the eventual repair properly targets just one section rather than opening up the entire floor unnecessarily.
Water meter testing
Isolating different sections of the plumbing system while watching the meter narrows down whether a leak sits inside the house itself, out in the garden, or somewhere along the supply line, guiding every later step of the detection.
Where root growth complicates the search
Properties backing directly onto Garigal National Park
Original 1964 slab homes hide pipework completely
Common leak signs we investigate
Two patterns bring people to call us more than any others:
Unexplained rising bills
A water bill climbing for no obvious reason is the single most common trigger for a detection callout, and testing the meter with everything off is the fast first step that confirms whether the system is losing water.
The damp patch that lingers
A patch of lawn, wall or ceiling that stays damp regardless of weather usually means a constant, small leak rather than a one-off spill, and it's exactly the kind of pattern our equipment is built to trace.
Why finding a leak early matters
A hidden leak keeps costing money and causing damage for every day it goes undetected:
- Wasted water adds up fast A leak too small to notice by eye can still waste a genuinely large volume of water over months, and the bill is often the only early warning you get.
- Structural damage compounds quietly Water sitting against a slab edge or timber framing for long enough can undermine the structure itself, turning a plumbing fix into a much larger burst pipe or building repair.
- Insurance claims need evidence A documented detection report supports an insurance claim far better than a guess about when a leak might have started.
How it works
How a leak detection visit runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0511 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
Trace and confirm
We use acoustic and thermal equipment together to narrow the leak to a precise point, showing you what the readings found before recommending any repair, so the evidence backs every dollar we ask you to spend.
- 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 Killarney Heights
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 Killarney Heights 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 from Killarney Heights locals
How can you find a leak without digging up my yard?
Acoustic and thermal equipment picks up the sound and temperature signature of moving water through pipe, slab and soil, so we can pinpoint the source without lifting a single tile or breaking any ground first.
Water bill's suddenly climbed and there's no visible sign of a problem anywhere. What's the first move?
That's the classic sign of a hidden leak, and testing your water meter with everything turned off is the fastest first step to confirm whether water is genuinely escaping somewhere unseen.
Does the shale and rock on the plateau make leaks harder to trace?
It changes the approach rather than making it impossible, since water travelling through shale and sandstone doesn't always surface where the actual leak is, so acoustic and thermal equipment matter more here than watching the lawn.
Blocks backing onto Garigal National Park have a lot of established root growth. Does that make leak detection more complicated?
Sometimes, roots probing toward a pipe joint can create a slow leak that's genuinely hard to spot from the surface, so equipment that traces sound and temperature underground matters more on those bush-backed blocks.
How long does a leak detection visit take?
Most detections are completed within a couple of hours, and we'll explain exactly what the equipment found and where before recommending any repair rather than just handing you a bill.
Is the repair after a leak is found covered by warranty?
Once located and fixed, the repair sits under our Lifetime Labour Warranty for life, so a fault that resurfaces gets addressed again, no questions, no cost, at any stage down the track.
