State of the art technology

We have invested heavily in our leak detection equipment and refined how we approach leak detection. Using a combination of thermal imaging, moisture detection equipment and acoustic methods, we can assess each situation properly and apply the right method from the start.

This allows us to accurately detect a leak and, confirm the water leak location.

It’s why we consistently achieve strong results across residential, commercial and civil leak detection projects, including complex underground water leak detection. For complex water leaks that acoustic detection struggles to pinpoint, we deploy advanced leak detection technology.

We do the leaks others can’t find.

Advanced thermal imaging leak detection and moisture scanning equipment offer unmatched accuracy, which is why plumbers and other leak detectors turn to us to locate leaks when they are unable to.

Choose us for Non-invasive

We protect your stuff.

Non invasive

Pinpoint the leak. Protect the concrete.

Driveways cut in the wrong spot. Tiles lifted for nothing. Concrete opened up just to "see if that's where it is."

That's what happens when leak detection gets treated like a plumbing job. It isn't. Most plumbers are great at repairs but finding a hidden leak takes specialist gear, advanced leak detection equipment and the experience to use it.

We don't guess .

We call before anyone starts digging or drilling.

Leak Trace vs a typical plumber for leak detection

Specialisation

Leak Trace: Specialist leak detection is the only thing we do.
Typical plumber: Leak detection is usually just one of many plumbing services and because they do it so rarely they do not have the expertise or equipment for it.

Equipment

Leak Trace: State‑of‑the‑art acoustic listening, thermal, tracer gas and moisture equipment.
Typical plumber: Often relies on visual checks and trial‑and‑error.

Accuracy & speed

Leak Trace: Pinpoints the leak before repairs begin. Exact leak location marked and documented.
Typical plumber: May start digging before the leak is properly located – often trial and error: “We think it’s somewhere around here”.

Non‑invasive / invasive

Leak Trace: Minimal damage to tiles, driveways and slabs.
Typical plumber: Higher chance of unnecessary cutting or excavation.

Time

Leak Trace: Same‑day service where possible.
Typical plumber: Wait days or a week between inspections and repairs.

Cost

Leak Trace: We get you 3 independent quotes in 24 hours to have it fixed. No obligation. We even send you the complete report and pictures if you want to get your own quotes.
Typical plumber: Charging very high prices for repair, often because you feel obligated to have them fix it rather than getting some quotes to get a lower price.
