Signs Around Your Home
Could There Be a Hidden Leak?
Not every leak is easy to spot. Some happen behind walls, under floors or in pipework where you can’t see the water directly. Instead, you may notice smaller signs around your home that something isn’t quite right.
A sudden increase in your water bill or a water meter that keeps moving when all your taps are turned off can be a warning sign. You may also notice damp patches, mould, peeling paint, water stains or unexplained wet areas around walls, floors or ceilings.
If you’ve noticed one or more of these signs, it’s worth having the problem checked before the leak causes further damage. Perth Local Plumbing & Gas can inspect your plumbing and use non-invasive leak detection methods to locate the source and identify what needs to be repaired.

Leak Detection Process
How We Locate the Source
Finding a hidden leak isn’t always as simple as looking for a wet patch. The source may be behind a wall, under a floor or somewhere along the pipework, which is why the right detection method matters.
We assess the property and use the most suitable leak detection method for the situation. Our equipment can help us locate hidden leaks and narrow down the source before repair work begins, helping avoid unnecessary disruption to your home.
Leak Detection Methods we use:
- Thermal Imaging
Helps identify temperature changes associated with hot water leaks and concealed moisture. - Ultrasonic Detection
Can help pinpoint the location of leaks within pipework without needing to expose the entire area. - Pressure & Water Checks
Useful for investigating unexplained water loss and determining whether the plumbing system may be leaking. - Targeted Leak Assessment
We can investigate suspected leaks around taps, showers, walls, ceilings, floors and concealed pipework.
Leak Problems We Handle
From Taps to Hidden Pipes
Leaks can show up in all sorts of places around a home, and the signs aren’t always obvious. You might be dealing with a dripping tap, dampness around a ceiling, water coming up through a floor or a leak somewhere beneath concrete or underground.
Our leak detection service can help with:
- Hidden pipe leaks — Leaks behind walls, under floors or in concealed pipework.
- Underground leaks — Water escaping from buried pipes or underground plumbing.
- Wall and ceiling leaks — Damp patches, stains or moisture caused by leaking pipework.
- Hot water leaks — Leaks from hot water systems, connections or nearby pipework.
- Leaking taps and showers — Persistent leaks that need more than a simple adjustment or replacement.
