Leak Detection Melbourne
We pinpoint leaks inside walls, under slabs and beneath floors using acoustic listening and thermal imaging, so we open one spot instead of guessing. We do the repair ourselves and make good afterwards. You get the location, the cause and the price first.

Losing Water Somewhere You Can't See?
A water bill that jumps for no reason. A meter that keeps ticking over after every tap is off. Water pressure that has quietly dropped across the house. These usually mean water is escaping where you cannot see it.
Or the signs are physical. A damp patch on a wall or ceiling with no source above it. Skirting boards swelling, paint bubbling, tiles lifting or sounding hollow. One patch of floor warm underfoot, which usually points to a hot water line under the slab.
Sometimes it's outside. A section of lawn that stays green through summer, a soggy patch near the meter, or the sound of running water in the walls at night when nothing is on.
Call 0432 655 802Get your leak found and fixed fast
We start at the meter and isolate the system section by section to confirm you've actually got a leak and narrow down which line it's on. That alone rules out most of the house.
From there we use acoustic listening gear, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint the spot. That means one small, deliberate opening in the right place rather than pulling up floors and cutting open walls hoping to get lucky.
Then we repair it. Pipework in a wall, under a slab or out in the yard, we do the repair ourselves and make good afterwards. You'll know the cost and the plan before we start. Call us now to get the leak found.

We initially thought this was just a simple blockage that we could fix ourselves, but the team at Elite Plumbing quickly showed us it was more than that. They took the time to properly investigate the issue, explained everything clearly, and walked us through what needed to be done without overcomplicating things. You could tell straight away they really knew what they were doing. What stood out the most was how easy they were to deal with, communication was smooth, they were responsive, and always followed up. No chasing, no confusion, just clear and honest updates. It's not often you come across a team that is both professional and genuinely easy to work with. Really appreciate their help and would highly recommend Elite Plumbing to anyone

Incredible and reliable service! I had an emergency situation with a blocked drain and overflowing sewage in my garden late afternoon on a 43 degree day. I found Kurt's details online, he arrived with all of his equipment within 30 minutes. Worked tirelessly in intense heat to identify the issue (which was actually impacting my neighbours house too, they didn't know because they were away!). Kurt made contact with relevant water and council services and used his years of training and experience to resolve the issue. Friendly, professional, no-nonsense service. 10/10 would recommend!

Leak Detection FAQs
The quickest check is your water meter. Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, then look at the meter. If the dial is still moving, water is going somewhere. Other signs are a bill that jumps and damp patches with no source.
Most leak detection jobs across Melbourne are booked same-day or next-day. If water is actively damaging your home, we run a 24-hour emergency service. We are based in Glenroy and cover Melbourne. Tell us your suburb and we will give you an arrival window.
Detection itself is non-invasive. Acoustic listening, thermal imaging and pressure testing all work without opening anything up. Once we know exactly where the leak is, the repair may need a small opening in that one spot. That is the whole point of detecting first.
Yes. Slab leaks are one of the most common jobs we get called to, and they are usually a hot water line. We isolate the line, then use acoustic and thermal equipment to trace it to a point on the slab and repair it there.
Detection is a fixed call-out for the investigation, and we tell you that figure on the phone before we come out. The repair is quoted separately once we know what we are dealing with. You approve the price before any work starts.
It depends on your policy, but many home insurers cover the resulting water damage and some cover the cost of locating the leak. We document what we find with photos and a written summary so you have what you need to lodge a claim.
