Water Leak Detection
Hidden water leaks can occur behind walls, under concrete slabs, in ceilings or your garden — often going unnoticed until serious damage occurs. At Vic Leaks Detection, we use non-invasive equipment like acoustic sensors and thermal imaging to accurately locate water leaks without ripping up floors or walls. Whether it’s a burst pipe, faulty plumbing joint, or leaking appliance connection, we’ll trace the source fast and with minimal disruption.
Common areas we inspect:
- Bathroom & kitchen plumbing
- Under-slab & in-wall pipes
- Roofs & gutters
- Shower leaks
- Pipe and plumbing leaks
- Outdoor and underground leaks
- Garden taps and irrigation lines
- Hot water systems
Gas Leak Detection (Licensed & Certified)
Gas leaks pose serious health and safety risks. Our licensed and certified gas technicians use advanced detection tools to trace even the smallest leak in your gas system. We inspect indoor and outdoor lines, appliances, meters, and utility connections.
Using tracer gas, pressure tests, and electronic sniffer tools, we can accurately detect gas leaks and provide a full safety report. Once detected, we can often carry out on-the-spot gas repairs to restore safety and compliance.
Typical issues we address:
- Leaking gas cooktops, heaters, and BBQs
- Damaged underground gas pipes
- Poor appliance installation
- Utility supply line leaks
Balcony Leak Detection
Balcony leaks are one of the most common issues in multi-level homes and apartments. They can lead to water ingress into ceilings, internal walls, or adjacent apartments. We assess your balcony’s surface, drainage, tiles, membranes and flashing to identify how and where water is entering.
With the help of moisture meters, dye testing and infrared cameras, we detect leaks without destructive testing. We also provide a compliance-friendly report for strata managers or insurance claims.
What we inspect:
- Tiling and grout integrity
- Waterproofing membrane breakdown
- Balustrade and edge sealing
- Drainage slope and overflow points
Pool, Spa & Fountain Leak Detection
If your pool or spa is losing water more quickly than normal, it may leak into the shell, plumbing or filtration system. Our specialised detection methods isolate leaks in pools, spas, fountains and other water features — even when they’re not visible.
We use pressure testing, dye tracing, and underwater microphones to detect leaks in:
- Pool shells and joints
- Return and suction lines
- Skimmer boxes
- Spa jets and filtration systems
- Decorative fountains and waterfalls
This helps you avoid unnecessary water costs, equipment damage or future repair headaches.
High Water Bill Investigation
If your water bill suddenly spikes without increased usage, a hidden leak may be the cause. At Vic Leaks Detection, we specialise in property-wide investigations that help locate where water is being lost — from toilets running continuously to underground pipe failures.
Using tools like meter testing, pressure drop analysis, and thermal imaging, we isolate the source of excessive water loss. We’ll help you reduce ongoing bills and provide a full report for your water provider or insurer.
What we commonly find:
- Hidden underground leaks
- Leaking toilets or taps
- Overfilled water tanks
- Irrigation system failures
- Pool autofill leaks
Utility Line Location & Leak Detection
Before any construction, digging or landscaping, it’s crucial to know where your water and gas lines are located. We use pipe locators, ground microphones and signal tracing devices to accurately map the underground layout of your utilities — and detect any leaks in the process.
