When This Problem Can't Wait
Most leaks like this give no dramatic warning, so the damage is well underway before anyone spots it.
- Your water bill has jumped with no obvious extra use.
- Your meter keeps creeping up while nothing inside is switched on.
- A wall or ceiling stays damp in the same spot for days.
- You can hear water running somewhere you can't see it.
- One patch of lawn stays soggier than the rest after rain.
Inside a Typical Water Leak Detection Job
The end point is simple: a dry house and a bill that makes sense again.
Getting there means using proper detection gear to pin down where the water's actually going, so nobody's cutting into a wall on a hunch.
Water Leak Detection and St Ives's Older Housing
Big blocks mean big gaps between a failing pipe and anyone noticing it. On a large St Ives block, a line can leak under the lawn or beneath a slab for weeks before a bill or a soft patch of ground finally gives it away.
Closer to the local centre, the newer unit and townhouse buildings run differently again. Several homes there often share the one plumbing run, so a leak on Yarrabung Road or a similar street can look like it belongs to a neighbour until we've traced which side of the wall it's actually on.
What Your Fixed Quote Depends On
The number depends on how the leak needs to be found and fixed, never on when you call.
- Whether the leak is under a slab, in a wall cavity, or in the yard.
- How much ground or paving needs to be worked around to reach it.
- Detection equipment required for a leak that isn't visibly obvious.
- Whether it's a single-fixture fault or a supply line issue.
On St Ives's larger blocks, more ground to search can mean more time on the detection step itself, and that's the one part of the price that genuinely tracks with the size of the property rather than anything else.
Standards and Safety, Explained Simply
Tracking down and repairing a hidden leak falls squarely under NSW's licensed plumbing rules, and any work on the supply side has to meet the same standard as a brand-new install.
Once we know the cause, we talk you through it in everyday language, and say straight up whether it's likely to come back or a one-time fix.
The Process, From Quote to Warranty
- Late or early, your water leak detection call still reaches a real person.
- A plumber is dispatched for the water leak detection, same honest pricing as any hour.
- We quote the water leak detection fixed on site, so there's no after-hours sting.
- We fix it and hand you a lifetime labour warranty on the water leak detection.
Why St Ives Trusts Us With This
A decade-plus in Sydney plumbing as a family operation means word of mouth carries a lot of our leak detection work.
A free quote means finding out what's actually happening costs nothing, which matters when you're not yet sure how big the problem is.
Where Else We Help Around St Ives
If detection turns up a split pipe rather than a slow seep, that becomes burst and leaking pipes work, priced and explained the same way. A leak traced to a tap washer is simpler still and falls under leaking tap repair.
Pymble and Killara get the same detection service as St Ives, no separate booking needed.

Common questions
Questions We Get About Water Leak Detection
Straight answers before you call. Ring (02) 9140 0185 for anything else.
How quickly can you come out for water leak detection?
Usually the same day you call, and often sooner if the meter is spinning fast and water is visibly pooling somewhere.
What should I do before you arrive for water leak detection?
Note when you first noticed it and whether it's constant or comes and goes. If you can safely check the meter with everything off, that reading helps us narrow things down before we even get there.
Is there a fee to come out for water leak detection?
No, the call-out is $0. You pay for the detection and any repair only once you've seen and approved the price.
Will you leave my place tidy after water leak detection?
Yes. Finding a hidden leak sometimes means a small access point in a wall or floor, and we leave it neat and explain exactly what we did to get there.
When should I call about water leak detection?
As soon as your water bill climbs for no clear reason, or damp keeps returning to a wall or floor with no obvious source. Both usually mean water is going somewhere it shouldn't.
Is water leak detection something a licensed plumber has to do?
Yes. Locating a hidden leak and any repair that follows is licensed plumbing work in NSW, and we carry that licence on every job.
