Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak

Is a Hidden Leak Costing You Money in Benobble?

Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the kitchen floor. Many of the leaks we're called out to in Benobble develop slowly beneath a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or along the underground run between the water meter and the house, quietly driving up water bills for months before anyone notices.

Left undetected, a small pinhole in ageing copper pipework or a cracked poly fitting can soften timber flooring, encourage mould in wall linings and undermine the ground beneath paths and driveways. By the time a wet patch appears on the lawn or a ceiling starts to stain, there's a good chance the leak has been running for some time.

The good news is that most hidden leaks can be located without smashing through tiles or digging up the whole yard. With the right combination of acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing, our plumbers can usually narrow a leak down to a specific section of pipe, so any repair is targeted rather than a guessing game.

    Our Solution

    How Benobble Plumbing & Drains Locates and Fixes Leaks in Benobble

    Benobble Plumbing & Drains follows a staged approach to leak detection, starting with a conversation about your water bill, meter readings and any visible signs before bringing out the diagnostic equipment. This lets us narrow down whether the leak sits between the meter and the house, under the slab, in a wall cavity or somewhere in the yard, so we're not chasing the wrong section of pipe.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping mains, copper and poly lines
    • Thermal imaging to trace temperature changes from hot and cold water leaks hidden in walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Nitrogen pressure testing and isolation checks to confirm which section of pipe is losing pressure
    • Meter-to-house main tracing to prove whether a spinning meter is linked to the consumer main or elsewhere on the property
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, useful for insurers, restoration companies or your own records

    Once the leak is marked, we quote a fixed price for the repair before any work begins, covering everything from a simple fitting replacement to under-slab pipe relining.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection Questions from Benobble Homeowners

      We're asked plenty of questions by Benobble homeowners and business owners trying to work out where a leak might be coming from. Here are some of the most common questions we hear, answered plainly by our experienced team.

      We rely on non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening equipment, ground microphones and thermal imaging cameras to trace the sound and temperature signature of escaping water. This lets us narrow the leak down to a specific section of pipe before any digging or tile removal takes place, so only the area that actually needs attention is opened up.
      Common signs include a water bill that seems higher than usual without an obvious reason, a water meter that keeps spinning even when every tap and appliance is switched off, a damp or unusually green patch on the lawn, a musty smell inside the home, or warm patches on tiled floors that could point to a hot water leak under the slab.
      Yes, slab leaks are fairly common in older homes, particularly where copper pipework has been in the ground for many years. Pipes running beneath the slab can develop pinhole leaks or cracks from ground movement, and because they're hidden from view, the first sign is often a rise in water usage or a warm patch on the flooring above the leak.
      It helps if someone is available to answer questions about the property, such as when the issue was first noticed or where the water meter is located, but our team can carry out most of the diagnostic work independently. We'll always talk you through what we've found and the recommended next steps once the leak has been located.
      Once we've pinpointed the source, we'll explain exactly what's causing the issue and provide a fixed price for the repair before any further work begins. Depending on the location and type of leak, this might involve a simple fitting replacement, a section of pipe relining, or a broader copper repipe if the pipework is showing wider signs of deterioration.
      Yes, we provide a written report with photos and marked locations that clearly documents the source of the leak. This kind of report is often exactly what insurers and restoration companies need to assess a claim and confirm the cause of any water damage to a property.
