A real person answers, day or night
A leak you can't see is still costing you
Water hidden beneath concrete or inside a cavity wall doesn't announce itself until the damage shows. Call (02) 9072 0597 and a licensed plumber explains what detection actually involves before booking anything in.
Ground that hides the usual signs
- The flats near Adam Street and Stirgess Avenue sit low, close to Curl Curl Lagoon That ground carries a genuinely high water table, and it can mask the sound and moisture cues a leak normally gives off elsewhere.
- Detection there relies more on pressure testing than listening alone Acoustic equipment struggles when the surrounding soil is already damp, so the approach shifts to what the pipework itself reports under pressure.
- It's still traceable, just differently The equipment and process adapt to the ground, the fixed-price approach to finding the fault doesn't change.
Leak detection services we provide
Whatever's hidden and wherever it's hiding, it gets found before it gets fixed:
Under-slab leak detection
Acoustic listening equipment and pressure testing locate a leak beneath a concrete slab without needing to break through tiles or flooring on a guess, narrowing the dig to the actual spot.
Wall and ceiling leak tracing
Moisture behind a wall or staining on a ceiling gets traced back to its actual source, whether that's a supply pipe, a shower recess or a roof penetration further away than expected.
Underground supply line detection
Buried supply pipes running from the meter to the house get checked for the slow loss that inflates a bill without leaving any trace anywhere on the property above ground.
Pool and irrigation leak checks
Pressure loss in a pool line or irrigation system gets isolated properly, confirming whether the fault sits in the plumbing itself or somewhere else in the system entirely.
Roots working into more than just drains
- Established gardens near John Fisher Park and the reserve land around it send root systems searching for moisture An ageing supply joint on a long-held block is just as tempting a target as a sewer line.
- A root-affected joint often shows up first as unexplained dampness in the garden That's before anything indoors gives the fault away.
- An outdoor check matters as much as an indoor one on these blocks Detection covers the whole run, not just the section visible from inside the house.
Common leak detection problems we resolve
Two situations bring most of the calls we get:
A bill that's risen with no visible cause
A rising water bill and no obvious wet patch anywhere usually means the leak sits below a slab or underground, and proper detection finds it before you're paying for water you never see.
A damp patch that keeps returning
A wall or ceiling patch that dries and reappears points to an ongoing source rather than a one-off event, and tracing it properly stops the cycle instead of repainting over it again.
Why finding a hidden leak early matters
An undetected leak keeps costing you in ways that compound over time:
Water damages structure quietly
The bill keeps climbing regardless
Early detection keeps the repair simple
How it works
The leak detection process, step by step
Four steps, ending with a fault that's genuinely confirmed fixed:
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0597 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
Locate and confirm
We use acoustic and pressure equipment to pinpoint the actual source, confirming the exact location before a single tile or paver gets disturbed, so the fix targets the real fault first time.
- 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 Curl Curl
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 Curl Curl 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.
Where we work
Areas we service
Leak detection extends out to Freshwater, Dee Why, Brookvale, North Curl Curl and Queenscliff too, with the approach adjusted for each property's ground conditions and age.
Good questions, straight answers
Leak detection questions from Curl Curl locals
Our water bill jumped but we can't see any actual leak anywhere. What now?
A rising bill with no visible sign usually means a hidden leak, often under a slab or behind a wall, and proper detection equipment finds it without needing to dig blind.
Does living on the low, flat ground near the lagoon make a leak harder to pin down?
Slightly, saturated ground close to the water table can mask the usual sound and moisture signs a leak gives off, so the crew leans more heavily on pressure testing there.
Could tree roots from a garden be causing a hidden supply leak, not just a drain issue?
Yes, roots from established plantings can work into an ageing supply joint just as easily as a sewer line, and detection equipment identifies which pipe is actually affected.
Do you need to dig up the yard or break tiles to find a leak?
Rarely at the detection stage, acoustic and pressure equipment usually pinpoints the location first, so any digging or tile removal happens only where the actual fault is confirmed to be.
How is leak detection actually priced if you don't know the size of the job yet?
The detection visit itself is a fixed written price, and any repair that follows gets its own separate quote once the exact cause and location are properly confirmed.
Is a leak detection visit covered by warranty if the leak comes back later?
Whatever repair follows a detection visit is guaranteed under our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so a fault that resurfaces down the track is put right again at our expense.
