LEAKING TAPS & PIPES

Have your water bills suddenly spiked? Does your water meter keep moving even when all taps are turned off? These are common signs of a hidden water leak.

Leaks often go unnoticed for a long time. You might see mould, damp patches, peeling paint, or wet spots on walls and carpets before realising there’s a problem. If any of these signs appear, a leaking pipe is likely the cause.

 

Perth Local Plumbing & Gas can help. We start with professional leak detection to confirm the issue and locate the exact source. Contact us today if you need experts to detect and fix leaking taps or pipes in your Perth home.

How

We Find a Leak

Tap leaks, shower leaks, and damaged pipes are our specialty. We can locate leaks in homes, offices, and commercial properties using methods that allow us to find the problem quickly and assess the best way to fix it.
At Perth Local Plumbing & Gas, we remove the guesswork. We choose the most suitable detection method for your property, often using advanced ultrasonic equipment to pinpoint the exact location of the leak.

We use a range of advanced tools to locate leaks quickly and accurately, including:

  • Thermographic detection, which uses infrared imaging to find hot water leaks
  • Tap and faucet leak testing for indoor, outdoor, and cold-water taps
  • Specialised technology for shower leak assessment
  • Professional equipment to detect leaks in walls, ceilings, and floors

Sometimes a leak may connect to areas where water flow slows or backs up, and in those situations, issues similar to blocked drains may also be considered as part of the assessment.

A Wide Range

Of Solutions

We offer a variety of leak detection and repair solutions depending on the issue you’re facing. After a thorough leak test, we identify the exact source of the problem—whether it’s a shower, pipe, drain, or hidden leak.

Regrouting tiles may seem like a quick fix, but it’s often only temporary. If the underlying leak isn’t addressed, the tiles will lift again and paint may continue to bubble. We focus on long-term solutions that stop the problem at its source.

Once we find the leak, Perth Local Plumbing & Gas can provide a quote for the necessary repairs, restoration, or replacement work.

We can assist with:

  • Under-concrete pipe leaks
  • Underground or in-wall pipe leaks
  • Hot water leaks
  • Dripping showers and taps
  • Leaking drains

For leaks that pose an immediate risk to the property, situations may be handled with the same urgency as emergency plumbing, especially when water damage is progressing quickly.

FAQs

How do you know if your water pipes are leaking?
Common signs include unexplained spikes in your water bill, mould or damp patches, peeling paint, wet spots on walls or floors, or a water meter that keeps moving even when all taps are off. Any of these can indicate a hidden leak.
Licensed plumbers use specialised tools such as ultrasonic detectors, thermal imaging, moisture meters, and pressure testing to locate leaks accurately. These methods help find leaks behind walls, under floors, or inside concrete without causing damage.
Leak detection costs vary depending on the location and complexity of the issue. Simple leaks may be quick to locate, while hidden or underground leaks may require advanced equipment. Once we assess the situation, we provide a clear, upfront quote.
It’s helpful to let the plumber know when you first noticed the issue, any visible signs (like damp areas or mould), recent changes in your water bill, and where the noise or moisture seems strongest. This speeds up the diagnosis.
Untreated leaks can lead to structural damage, mould growth, rising damp, higher water bills, and potential electrical hazards. Over time, even small leaks can create major repair costs if ignored.
Yes. Factors like heavy rainfall, poor pipe access, multiple water sources, or older plumbing materials can make leaks harder to locate. However, modern equipment helps detect leaks accurately even in challenging situations.
