Leak Detection Wellington Services:
The Hidden Culprits Behind Property Damage
Does a persistent drip keep you up at night? Or perhaps a faint gas odour sends shivers down your spine? Leaks, whether big or small, can be a major headache, causing both frustration and potential damage to your property. Identifying the source of a leak can be like solving a detective mystery, often requiring a multi-step approach to pinpoint the exact culprit. At our company, we specialise in comprehensive leak detection services, employing various methods to uncover the hidden sources of these unwelcome surprises in your home or business. We understand that every leak situation is unique, and our experienced technicians are equipped to handle a wide range of leak types, from gas and water to roof and drain leaks. With our budget-conscious approach and meticulous investigation methods, we aim to not only locate the leak but also provide you with peace of mind knowing the problem is addressed effectively.
All types of leak detection have the same problem. We often dont know where it is or in the case of gas if there is one.
We usually start with a small budget to work up to. Test to see if there is a leak and once we know there is a leak we have a process of elimination to find the leak. Each case is slightly different.
Wellington Leak Detection Services
Our leak detection services cover a wide range of situations:
Gas leaks
We use a pressurisation test to identify leaks in your gas lines. Following this, we meticulously inspect each joint and connection to isolate the exact location of the leak.
Water leaks
Water leaks can be easier to locate, often following the visible water trail. We can identify the source, whether it’s a supply pipe, waste pipe, or a fixture like a shower or bath. In some cases, we may need to carefully cut a small access hole to access the leak, but we will always discuss this with you beforehand.
Roof leaks
We employ water testing methods to narrow down the potential location of the leak in different roof sections. Depending on the complexity, this may involve removing a portion of the roof covering.
Drain leaks
Similar to gas leaks, drain leaks can be challenging to locate as the source might be far from the visible water exit point. We use a combination of cutting, testing, and inspection to pinpoint the leak, whether it’s a faulty joint, a broken drain, or even a blockage causing the issue.

Wellington Leak FAQs
How do you find the source of a leak?
If you have a leak that needs attention we have a leak location service. It could be from a roof leak or a hot water cylinder leak or a pipe leak so we have to narrow down the location this is done with a service call in most cases or in hard to find situations we may need to work upto a point to locate it and then price to fix it from there. Roof leak discharges are often not where the water is coming in. Investigation type work often cannot be quoted with a fixed price until we know where the source is.
How do you fix a leaking toilet?
Leaking toilets are a speciality. Often the connections need replacement. It may be time for nice new back to wall toilet and we can hide that plumbing to make it easier to clean and fit a soft close seat.
What does a hissing sound under the floor mean?
You may be hearing a hiss under the floor it is likely a pin hole in a water pipe.
Can I have a quote to identify a water leak?
Quoting is fortune telling, it is trying to predict the price before the work starts. We do this based on previous jobs. We know the materials usually to do the job and the variable is how long will it take.
Some jobs are investigative. We need to disassemble things like roofing to locate the problem. Or we have to take the shower mixer apart to find the problem as two examples. To give a price, we start with a standard service call or a work up to price and then once we know what the problem is, we price that.
