Best Way to Find Water a Leak

Step 1. Turn off all taps including the washing machine and dishwasher taps & irrigation system (if you have one)

Step 2. Read your water meter and either photograph the reading or write it down

Step 3. After at least one hour, check your water meter again. If the reading has changed, you may have a water leak.

Here are some concealed water leaks that we have recently detected, repaired and completed reinstatement works for:

The owner of this home in Little Mountain could hear a “hissing” sound coming from behind the bricks. Our plumber used leak detection to locate the leak then re-routed the hose tap. The concrete and tiles were then reinstated.

The owner of this block of units in Mooloolaba contacted us after receiving a call from the neighbouring property owner. Water was inundating the neighbour’s property, but they couldn’t work out where it was coming from. Using leak detection technology, our plumber pin pointed the exact location of the leak before using a concrete saw to cut out a small section of concrete. The leak was repaired and the concrete was reinstated with minimal disruption to residents of the unit complex.

The owner of this property in Moffat Beach contacted us to request stormwater drainage works on her property. She reported that the backyard was constantly soggy due to the rain. Within minutes of arriving at the client’s home, our plumber can identify a concealed water leak. Our team detected the leak with precision even before we removed a small section of turf. The leak was repaired and the grass was reinstated – the bottom right photo of how our plumber left the area.

After spending her weekend sweeping water off the patio tiles with a broom, the owner of this home in Little Mountain was puzzled about where the water was coming from. Our plumber attended early on the Monday morning and located the issue using leak detection technology. We removed two tiles, cut the concrete and repair the leak. After replacement of the concrete and tiles, the property was left immaculate.

The owner of this property contacted us after another plumbing company had attended her home and advised he couldn’t fix the leak due to the difficult location. Understandably, the client was stressing and thinking that she’d have to pay large water bills forever!

Our plumber visited the Little Mountain home the following day. He located the water leak, cut out a small patch of concrete. He then removed some bricks from the corner of the house. We were able to repair the water leak and reinstate the bricks.

Our plumber had some touch-up paint in his van, so he even refreshed up the faded downpipe vent. It’s this attention to detail that sets the McArthur Plumbing team apart from the rest!
