Leak Detection & Repairs

Leak Detection & Repairs – Why Early Action Saves You Thousands

Water leaks are one of the most common — and most expensive — plumbing problems for homeowners and businesses. The tricky part? Many leaks happen behind walls, under floors, or in ceilings, so they’re often hidden until the damage is done.

At Solutions Plumbing & Maintenance, we specialise in non-invasive leak detection and fast, reliable repairs across Melbourne. Here’s what you need to know.

Common Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak

Not all leaks are obvious. Here are some warning signs to look out for:

Unexplained spike in your water bill
Damp, mouldy, or discoloured walls or ceilings
Warped flooring or bubbling paint
Musty smells in certain rooms
Constant sound of running water when taps are off

How We Detect Leaks Without Damaging Your Property

Gone are the days of tearing up floors to find the source. We use advanced leak detection equipment including:

Acoustic listening devices – to pinpoint the exact location of leaks
Infrared thermal imaging – to detect hidden moisture behind walls
Pressure testing & pipe tracing – to assess underground or in-wall lines

This means we find the problem fast and accurately, saving you from unnecessary damage and repair costs.
