FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Find quick answers about leak detection methods, inspection costs, hidden leaks, reports, and what to expect.

Leak detection costs vary depending on the size of the area, access, and the complexity of the issue. You can request an instant quote, and we will let you know if an inspection fee applies and whether any part of that cost can be credited if you proceed with repair work.

Common signs include damp or soft walls and floors, discolouration, mould, musty odours, loose tiles, swelling skirting boards, and water damage near or outside the shower. In some cases, higher water bills can also be a sign of a leak.

In most cases, no. We use non-invasive leak detection methods to assess the likely source of the leak without opening walls or floors. If further access is needed, we will explain why before any work is done.

Most shower leak detection assessments take around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area, access, and the complexity of the leak. We will explain the expected time before we begin.

In many cases, yes. We use moisture testing and thermal imaging to assess signs of water behind walls and around the shower area without cutting into surfaces. If invasive access is needed to confirm the cause or complete repairs, we will explain the next step first.

Leak detection helps identify the likely source and pattern of water ingress, which can indicate whether the issue is more likely related to plumbing, grout/silicone failure, or waterproofing. In some cases, further inspection may be needed to confirm the exact cause.

If reporting is included in your service scope, we can provide a summary of findings and recommended next steps. We also offer detailed reporting for owners, property managers, and body corporate where required.

After the assessment, we explain the likely source of the leak and recommend the most suitable next step. This may be a leaking shower repair, regrouting, a plumbing repair, or a shower rebuild depending on the cause and condition of the shower.

Shower leak detection is the process of identifying the likely source of hidden water leaks in or around a shower. We use a combination of visual inspection and non-invasive leak detection methods, such as moisture testing and thermal imaging, to assess where water may be escaping.
