Leak Detection Melbourne
For over 15 years Around Town Plumbing has delivered expert burst pipe and and leak repair services to the entire Melbourne area.
- LEAK REPAIR SPECIALISTS
The first sign of a hidden leak is usually a water bill that jumped for no reason, a damp patch that will not dry, or the sound of running water when every tap in the house is off. By the time it shows, the leak has often been running quietly behind a wall, under a slab or below the yard for weeks. Around Town Plumbing handles leak detection across Melbourne the non-invasive way: we find the leak first, using camera inspection and advanced detection, before anyone cuts into a floor or digs up a garden. We have located and repaired concealed water and gas leaks for south-east homes, strata blocks and commercial sites since 2007, with same-day response when a pipe has burst.

Signs You May Have A Hidden Leak
A concealed leak usually leaves clues before it does real damage. Worth investigating if you notice:
- A water bill that climbed with no change in how much you use
- Damp patches, bubbling paint, mould or a musty smell indoors
- The sound of running water when all taps and appliances are off
- Low or inconsistent water pressure
- Wet or soft ground, pooling water, or cracks appearing in paving
- A smell of gas or a faint hissing near a gas line or appliance
Any one of these is worth a call. A gas smell is not something to sit on: treat it as urgent.
Warning Signs That You May Have a Burst Pipe or Leak in Your Home or Business
- Increased water usage
- Damp walls or ceilings
- Noisy taps
- Discoloured water
- Soft patches in yard
- Change of water pressure
- Water dripping down a wall
- Unexplained pooling on the floor
Leak Types We Detect And Repair
Hidden leaks turn up in very different places, and each needs a different approach to find:
- Water leaks in walls, ceilings and concealed pipework
- Gas leaks on lines and appliances, located by our qualified gas fitters
- Slab leaks under concrete floors
- Underground leaks in service and supply lines across the property
- Roof and balcony leaks, traced through our roofing and gutter work
- Bathroom and shower leaks, including failed waterproofing
We locate and repair the leak types above. We do not offer swimming-pool leak detection, so if that is what you need we will point you to a pool specialist rather than take a job we are not set up for.
How We Find Leaks
The point of proper leak detection is to fix the leak without wrecking the house to get to it. We work non-invasively: we investigate with CCTV camera inspection and advanced detection techniques to pinpoint where the water or gas is actually escaping, with as little disruption to the building as possible. Only once we know the exact spot do we open up to repair it, which means one targeted access point instead of guessing our way across a wall or slab. You get the leak found, the cause explained, and the repair quoted, before we start pulling anything apart.
Gas Leak Detection
A gas leak is a safety issue first and a plumbing issue second. Our gas fitters are fully qualified to locate leaks on gas lines and appliances and to make them safe. If you can smell gas right now, turn the gas off at the meter if it is safe to reach, open windows and doors, avoid light switches and naked flames, get everyone outside, and call us. We will find the source and repair it properly rather than just chasing the smell.

Burst Pipes And Emergency Water Leaks
A burst pipe does not wait for a convenient time, and every hour it runs is more water through your floors and walls. For burst and leaking pipes we offer same-day response within business hours, Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm, backed by our 10-van Dandenong fleet. While you wait for us, if you can safely reach your water meter, turning the main off there will stop the flow and limit the damage. We are honest that we are not a 24-hour company; what we are is a real local emergency plumber that turns up the same day.
Leak Detection For Strata And Commercial Properties
In a strata block or a commercial building, a hidden leak is rarely contained to one unit. It tracks through shared walls and floors, and the source is often nowhere near where the damage shows. This is where non-invasive detection earns its keep, and where our multi-dwelling experience matters. We have located leaks across owners corporation and commercial properties since 2007, coordinating access with property managers and residents, and working to minimise disruption to tenants and trading while we trace the fault to its real origin. Property managers keep us on file because we find the actual leak rather than opening up three units to look for it.
Who We Work With
Strata & Body Corporates
Around Town Plumbing partners with strata and owners corporations, offering tailored plumbing solutions for multi-dwelling units and offices.

With our expertise and commitment to quality, real estate managers can trust us to handle all their plumbing requirements, ensuring properties are well-maintained and issues are resolved swiftly to keep tenants happy and properties in top condition.
What Does Leak Detection Cost?
Leak detection cost depends on the job: how accessible the leak is, whether it is water or gas, and what the repair turns out to involve once we have located it. Rather than quote a figure blind or publish a price list that will not match your property, we come out, investigate, and give you a free quote with a fixed, upfront price agreed before any work begins. No hidden call-out surprises, and no guesswork on the invoice. Most people who call us have been quoted vaguely or overcharged before, and the transparent upfront price is the thing they tell us they were after.
Areas We Serve
We are based in Dandenong and cover Melbourne’s south-east and outer suburbs in depth: Dandenong, Cheltenham, Moorabbin, Clayton, Glen Waverley, Oakleigh, Berwick, Cranbourne, Narre Warren, Officer, Clyde and the surrounding areas, with availability across the wider Melbourne metro where the job suits. Our fastest response and our best local knowledge sit in the south-east, and we would rather be straight about that than claim a coverage we cannot back up on the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Types Of Leaks Can You Detect?
Water, gas, slab, underground, roof and balcony, and bathroom and shower leaks including failed waterproofing. We do not detect swimming-pool leaks.
Is Leak Detection Non-Invasive?
Yes. We locate the leak first with camera inspection and advanced detection, then open up only at the exact repair point, rather than cutting into walls or floors to search.
Do You Detect Leaks For Both Homes And Businesses?
Both. Alongside houses, a large part of our work is strata, owners corporation and commercial property, coordinated with property managers to keep disruption to a minimum.
Can You Come Out The Same Day For A Burst Pipe?
Yes, within business hours we offer same-day response for burst and leaking pipes.
How Do I Know If I Have A Hidden Leak?
The common signs are an unexplained jump in your water bill, damp or mould, the sound of running water with taps off, low pressure, or wet ground. If you suspect one, it is cheaper to investigate early than to wait for the damage.
