Leak detection in Pretoria East
Water bill through the roof, damp on a wall or a meter that never stops. We find the leak first, then fix it.
Hidden leaks are expensive twice. Once on the water bill, and again when someone breaks open the wrong wall looking for them. Our job is to find exactly where the water is going before anything gets broken.
Leaks hide under slabs, inside walls, beneath paving and out in the garden. We test the system section by section until we know where the loss is, and only then open up the spot that needs repairing.
What we get called for
High water bill
When the bill has jumped and nothing has changed in the house.
Damp walls and floors
Rising damp, bubbling paint or a wet patch on a tiled floor.
Meter turning with every tap closed
The clearest sign of a leak. We trace it from there.
Leaks under paving and in the garden
Found and repaired with as little digging as possible.
Check for a leak yourself first

Close every tap in the house and make sure nothing is filling, like a toilet cistern or the washing machine.
- 2
Go and look at the water meter. If the dial is still moving, water is going somewhere it should not.
- 3
Phone us with what you saw. It helps us know where to start looking.
Common questions
Will you have to break tiles to find the leak?
Not to find it. We locate the leak first, then only open the spot that needs repairing.
Can a leak cause damp on my walls?
Yes. A leaking pipe inside or under a wall is one of the most common causes of damp patches and bubbling paint.
Do you repair the leak as well?
Yes. Once it is found we repair or reroute the pipe and test it.
