Pipe leak repair that finds the source, not just the drip

Hidden leaks inside walls and floors, dripping joints and burst lines — located accurately, repaired with the correct fittings and pressure-tested before we leave.

Overview

Stop water damage before it spreads

A leaking pipe is rarely just an annoyance. Even a slow drip inside a wall can soak plaster, lift floor tiles, rot cabinet bases and encourage mould long before you see a stain. The longer it runs, the more expensive the repair becomes — and the higher your water bill climbs in the meantime.

Our pipe leak repair service starts with finding exactly where the water is escaping. We check visible joints and valves first, then use a combination of meter tests, moisture readings and isolation of individual lines to narrow down concealed leaks. That means we open up only where we need to, instead of breaking tiles on a hunch.

Once the leak is located, we explain what has failed — a perished washer, a cracked fitting, a corroded section of pipe or a joint that was never sealed properly — and give you a written price for the repair. We replace the faulty section with a material that matches or improves on what you have, then pressure-test the line so you can see it holding.

Where walls or floors have to be opened, we keep the opening as small as possible, protect surrounding surfaces and can advise on making good afterwards.

Our approach

How we handle pipe leak repair

01

Isolate and assess

We shut off the affected supply where needed and check visible pipework, valves and fittings for obvious failures.

02

Pinpoint the leak

Meter tests, moisture mapping and isolating individual lines tell us where the water is escaping, so we only open what is necessary.

03

Repair with the right parts

Failed sections are cut out and replaced with matching fittings, properly supported and sealed.

04

Pressure-test and tidy

We test the line under pressure, check for weeping joints, clean the work area and talk you through what we found.

Common questions

Pipe Leak Repair FAQ

Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most about this service.

As soon as possible. Even small leaks cause hidden damage to plaster, timber and tiles over time. If water is actively escaping, shut the main valve and call us so we can advise immediately.
In many cases we can narrow the location down to a small area using meter tests and moisture readings, which keeps any opening to a minimum. Some concealed leaks still need a small inspection opening to repair.
Yes. Where old GI pipe is badly corroded we may recommend replacing a longer section rather than patching one point, and we will explain the options and prices before starting.
Our workmanship is covered by a 12-month warranty. If the section we repaired leaks again because of our work, we will return and fix it at no extra labour cost.
