Find the Leak.
High water bill? Mystery moisture? We use advanced non-invasive technology to pinpoint hidden leaks without tearing apart your home.
6 Signs You Have a Hidden Leak
Water leaks often happen where you can't see them—under the slab or behind drywall. Look for these clues.
Unexplained High Water Bills
If your usage hasn't changed but your bill spiked, you likely have a hidden leak.
Warm Spots on Floor
A hot water line leaking under the slab often creates noticeable hot spots on tile or wood.
Sound of Running Water
Hearing water rushing when no taps are open? That's a tell-tale sign of a pipe failure.
Mold or Musty Odors
Moisture behind walls creates the perfect environment for mold growth within 24-48 hours.
Cracks in Foundation
Water eroding the soil under your home can cause the foundation to settle and crack.
Wet Spots in Yard
Mushy patches of grass during dry weather indicate a main water service line break.
Non-Invasive Approach
We don't guess and dig. We pinpoint the exact location first, saving you thousands in unnecessary repair costs.
We See Through Walls (Literally)
Traditional plumbers might start breaking tiles just to look for a pipe. At Prestt Plumbing, we use scientific methods to locate the source of the leak within inches.
Acoustic Detection
We use sensitive ground microphones to "listen" for the sound of pressurized water escaping pipes underground or behind concrete.
Thermal Imaging
Our infrared cameras detect subtle temperature differences caused by leaking water, even if it's hidden behind drywall or flooring.
Tracer Gas
For the hardest-to-find leaks, we introduce a safe, non-toxic gas into the line and use sensors to detect where it escapes.
Do You Have a "Slab Leak"?
A slab leak occurs when copper pipes running underneath your home's concrete foundation corrode and burst. This is a common issue in Melbourne, Victoria homes built before 2010.
Our Slab Leak Solutions:
- Spot Repair: Jackhammering a small access point to fix the specific break.
- Repiping: Abandoning the old underground lines and running new PEX pipes through the attic/walls (often safer and cheaper).
Save Water. Save Money.
A small leak can waste 10,000 gallons of water a year. Stop throwing money down the drain.
