Why Leak Detection Matters

A slow leak can cause thousands of rands in water bills, mould, damp walls, or even foundation damage. But with the right leak detection methods, we can locate and repair the issue quickly, minimising disruption to your property.

Common signs you may need leak detection:

• Unexplained increase in water bills
• Wet spots or bubbling paint on walls
• Damp or musty smells
• Sound of water running with no tap open
• Reduced water pressure

We offer home leak detection as well as commercial plumbing leak detection across Cape Town.

Our Leak Detection Toolkit Includes:

• Thermal Imaging Cameras – Spot temperature changes behind walls or floors, indicating hidden leaks.
• Acoustic Listening Devices – Detect the sound of escaping water through solid surfaces.
• Gas Tracer Systems – Identify even the tiniest leaks in pressurised pipelines.
• Moisture Meters – Assess damp levels in walls, ceilings, and floors.
• Leak Noise Correlators – Locate underground leaks by analysing acoustic signals between access points.
• Noise Loggers – Continuously monitor network sections to identify leaks before they become visible.
• Pressure & Flow Loggers – Track water usage trends and pressure variations to detect leaks early and estimate loss volumes.
• Minimum Night Flow Analysis – Measure base flow rates during off-peak hours to uncover hidden or background leakage.

Whether it’s a small home leak or a larger commercial pipe issue, our leak detection methods ensure accurate, efficient results

Common Problems We Detect

• Burst water pipe detection
• Leaking water pipe in walls or floors
• Water leak from geysers or valves
• Underground water leaks
• General house leak detection

Our Cape Town plumbing team is trained to not only detect a leak but also repair it with minimal impact to your home or business.
