Hidden leaks leave small clues long before the damage shows. Two or more of these usually means water is going somewhere it shouldn't.

High water bill
An unexplained spike is the most common sign of a hidden leak.
Damp patches or mould
Recurring damp, bubbling paint or mould means water is escaping.
Sound of water
Hearing running water with every tap off points to a concealed leak.
Warm spot on the floor
A warm patch underfoot can mean a hot-water leak under the slab.
Cracked or lifting tiles
Moisture under tiles makes them crack, lift or sound hollow.
Meter still ticking
If the meter moves with everything off, water is leaking somewhere.
Most hidden leaks can be pinpointed without guesswork — we use proper detection gear so we open up only where the leak actually is. That means no jackhammering the whole floor hoping to get lucky. We find it first, then repair it with minimal disruption. Hidden leaks waste water, rot timber and grow mould — the sooner they are found, the cheaper they are to fix.
