    Common Signs You Might Have a Leak

    Some plumbing leaks stay out of sight until they’ve already caused damage. Knowing what to look for can save you from expensive repairs.

    Here’s what to watch for

    Unusually High Water Bills: If your water bill jumps but your usage hasn’t changed, there could be a hidden leak wasting water somewhere on your property.
    Damp Patches or Discolouration: Damp spots on walls, bubbling paint, or discoloured ceilings often point to a water ingress issue that needs to be addressed promptly.
    Mould or Musty Smells: Leaks make way for mould, especially behind walls or under floors. If you notice a persistent odour, it may indicate a potential leak nearby.
    Reduced Water Pressure: If your taps or shower suddenly feel weaker, it might be due to water escaping through a crack in the pipework before it reaches the outlet.nd daily life.
    Dripping or Hissing Noises: Hearing dripping, hissing or running water when all taps are off? That could be water leaking inside your walls or under the slab.
    Unexplained Puddles or Wet Areas: Water pooling in the garden, under sinks, or near fixtures with no clear cause is a strong indicator that something’s leaking below the surface.

    Professional plumber completing a leak inspection

    Our leak detection services include

    We offer comprehensive leak detection services across Sydney, tackling everything from hidden and visible plumbing issues to sudden pipe bursts. Each job is carried out by experienced technicians trained to Australian standards, using advanced techniques to deliver fast, reliable results without messing up your property.

    The-Clean-Plumber-blocked-toilet-icon

    Bathroom leaks

    Leaking bathrooms can happen for all sorts of reasons — cracked tiles, failed waterproofing, or worn-out seals behind fixtures. Our leak detection specialists use acoustic leak detection and moisture meters to identify the source accurately without breaking tiles or damaging walls.

    Roof-leak-icon

    Roof leaks

    Blocked gutters, cracked flashing or strong winds can lead to hidden leaks on your roof that go unnoticed until damage sets in. Using thermal imaging cameras and moisture detection tools, we locate the exact problem and deliver effective repairs that prevent future leaks and protect your property from structural damage.

    Balcony-leak-icon

    Balcony leaks

    Balconies are often exposed to the elements, making them prone to water ingress and structural damage if left unchecked. Using flood testing, acoustic leak detection, and substrate inspection, we identify faults in membranes, drainage, or tiling systems before they cause structural damage or costly repairs.

    The-Clean-Plumber-blocked-drains

    Tap leaks

    A dripping tap might not look serious, but it can waste thousands of litres and lead to unusually high water bills. We check tap fittings, connections, and surrounding areas for hidden pipe leaks behind vanities or walls, then apply quick, non-invasive leak detection and repair.

    Shower-leak-icon

    Shower leaks

    Leaks in showers often come from grout lines, failed waterproofing or hidden issues in waste pipes. Our team uses advanced water leak detection methods to inspect the shower system in full — accurately identifying any hidden leaks and repairing only what’s needed.

    The-Clean-Plumber-General-Plumbing-leak-detection-icon

    Burst pipes

    Burst pipes require immediate attention to avoid serious plumbing issues and long-term damage. We locate the break using tracer gas detection and acoustic listening devices, then carry out rapid leak detection and repair to limit water damage and keep your property safe.

    Advanced Technology in Leak Detection

    At The Clean Plumber, we use the latest non-invasive technology to perform water leak detection without causing unnecessary damage. Whether it’s a burst pipe under a concrete slab or a slow leak behind a tiled wall, we have the right tools to get to the source.

    Thermal Imaging Cameras

    These cameras detect heat variations to help us spot hidden water leaks behind walls, ceilings, or floors without needing to cut or drill.

    Acoustic Listening Devices

    Our technicians use acoustic leak detection to amplify the sound of escaping water from pressurised pipes — ideal for detecting underground or slab leaks.

    Moisture Meters

    Used to assess water presence in materials, they help map out the magnitude and extent of leaks and guide our repair strategy.

    Tracer Gas

    This method involves releasing a non-toxic, odourless gas into your plumbing system. If there’s a hidden leak, the gas escapes and is detected above the ground.

    CCTV Pipe Inspections

    Our team feeds a waterproof camera into your drainage lines to locate cracks, blockages, or loose fittings — all without digging.

    Using these tools, we work quickly, avoid unnecessary damage, and deliver accurate results on the first visit. It means fewer surprises, faster repairs, and minimum disruption to your day.

    Whether it’s a home in the suburbs or a large commercial site, you’ll get a leak detection service in Sydney that’s built on experience, backed by the right gear, and handled by a licensed team that does it properly.

    Call The Clean Plumber for all your blocked drain needs.

    Our Final Quality Assurance Step

    Once the leak has been repaired, we don’t just pack up and leave. Every job ends with a full quality assurance check to make sure your plumbing system is working exactly as it should.

    Our team performs pressure testing to verify that water flow remains steady across all repaired sections. We double-check fittings, joins and valves to confirm nothing has shifted or loosened during the job.

    Moisture meters are used to assess the surrounding area and ensure no water has spread into nearby surfaces. For repairs involving pipework, we also run a follow-up CCTV inspection to confirm that internal conditions are clear and free from structural damage.

    This final step ensures the leak is gone for good — and the repair will hold up long after we’ve left. It’s part of our promise to deliver reliable results backed by experience, quality workmanship, and the right tools for the job.

    When you call The Clean Plumber, you get more than just a quick fix. You get a complete, end-to-end solution checked and tested by professionals who take pride in doing it right.

    I’ve been using The Clean Plumbers for 20 years and they are always so lovely and courteous. I had Blake this time and he was no exception. He was on time, assessed the problem quickly and explained it all to me. The leaking hose was replaced with no problems, no mess and fast. Such a great service and company.

    Thank you to Stephen and Kevin for their excellent work during the Christmas break. Stephen realigned my father’s toilet seat and did a great job, thankfully, because it’s been a huge problem for my dad after several attempts from several plumbers. We also had a leak that was promptly detected and fixed in no time. We were happy with the very decent price and the seniors discount that my father was given. Stephen and Kevin were awesome guys that were lovely to speak to and they were also very tidy and respectful.

    We had a leaking tap right at the start of the new year, and keen to get it fixed but couldn’t get hold of the plumber we knew. It was pleasing to see The Clean Plumber has a user-friendly online booking system, and we are booked in for the next day in no time. Blake attended the job on-time on a searing hot day. He did a fantastic job, deserve a 5 out of 5 – he identified the issue quickly; explained the solution and price to us clearly before proceeding; he is skilful and cleaned up everything afterwards. Highly recommend!

    Our hot water system had recently given up on us. Blake came out on time and was fantastic to work with. Gave us an honest and reasonable upfront price to replace the system, and now we won’t have to worry about the system while we’re away.5 stars isn’t enough!

    5/5 my husband and I have had the most fantastic experience with multiple individuals from individuals from the Clean Plumber. This past Friday, Harry and Blake were very helpful and today Isacc and David were particularly helpful. A big shout out to Isacc who was so thorough in understanding the complexities occuring in a few units. He was also generous with his time in explaining and helping us understand everything.

    “The Clean plumber came to my home to investigate a roof leak. They diagnosed the issue and put in a plan of action to rectify it. I am convinced that had it not been for Damien’s foresight, the situation could have been a lot worse down the track.
    They are excellent plumbers and their knowledge and wisdom is unparalleled compared to other plumbers I have engaged in the past.”

    “We contacted Clean Plumber after hours for a urgent matter, as we had a large pipe that burst on our acreage property. They turned up within the hour and immediately stopped the leaking.
    We were very impressed with the quick service as we live in a semi rural area. They came back a few days later and replaced the faulty section of the pipe. All in all a very happy customer!”
