A hidden water leak rarely announces itself. It might show up as a water meter that keeps spinning even when every tap in the house is off, or as an unexplained jump in your quarterly water bill. Other times, it's a soft, soggy patch of lawn that never seems to dry, a warm spot on the tiled floor, or a faint hissing sound coming from behind a wall.
Left undetected, these leaks can quietly undermine your home's foundations, rot timber framing and encourage mould growth in wall cavities and ceilings. Older copper hot water lines are particularly prone to pinhole leaks as the pipe wall pits and corrodes over time, while poly and PEX pipes can fail at fittings and joins. Whatever the cause, the longer a leak goes unnoticed, the more expensive the eventual repair tends to become.
If any of this sounds familiar, it's worth having a professional leak detection carried out before the damage spreads further.
Palmwoods Plumbing & Drains combines proven acoustic techniques with modern thermal and tracer technology to locate leaks accurately, without the guesswork or unnecessary excavation. Our approach is methodical, starting with an isolation test to confirm whether the leak sits on your side of the meter before narrowing down the exact location.
Once the leak is marked, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section of pipe replacement or a broader repipe for ageing copper systems. You'll know exactly what's involved before any work begins, thanks to our upfront fixed pricing.
