Plain-English advice
Tidy, respectful tradespeople
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle. Many leaks hide inside walls, under floors, beneath concrete slabs or underground in the front yard. By the time you notice, there could be serious water damage or a huge water bill.
Your Plumbing Pros helps Perth homeowners, landlords and businesses find hidden leaks and fix them with as little disruption as possible.
You can do a simple test before you call. Turn off every tap and water-using appliance in the house. Then check your water meter and take note of the reading or photograph it.
Wait 30 minutes without using any water, and check again. If the reading has changed, there's a good chance you have a leak somewhere. Let us know the result when you call, as it helps us plan the right approach.
Leak detection is about narrowing down the possibilities step by step instead of tearing up walls on a guess.
Once we've pinpointed the leak, we'll explain the repair, show you where we need to access and give you the cost before starting.

In Perth homes, we often find leaks in shower recesses and wall mixers, under-slab hot water pipes, the main water line between the meter and the house, toilet cisterns and connections, and irrigation lines.
Older copper pipes can develop pinhole leaks over time, especially where hard water and age combine.
A leaking shower is one of the most common causes of water damage in bathrooms. Water can escape through failed grout, broken waterproofing or a leaking mixer behind the wall.
We'll check whether the leak is coming from the plumbing itself or from the shower recess, so you know whether you need a plumber, a waterproofer or both.
Leaks in rental properties can cause tension between tenants and landlords. We give property managers clear reports showing what we found, where the leak was and what was done to fix it.
Perth gardens rely heavily on reticulation, especially through the summer. Irrigation pipes and fittings sit just below the surface, where they can be damaged by digging, roots or age.
A leaking reticulation line can waste a lot of water without being obvious. Signs include a patch of garden that's always wet, sinking soil or a sprinkler station with weak pressure. We can check the supply line and help you track down the problem.
Once we've found the leak, the repair depends on where it is. A leaking connection under a sink might be a quick fix. A pipe inside a wall may need a small access hole, which we keep as neat as possible.
For leaks under a slab, it can sometimes be better to reroute the pipe through the wall or ceiling instead of breaking up the floor. We'll talk you through the options and costs before deciding.
Leaks rarely fix themselves. The longer water escapes, the more damage it can do to timber, plaster and flooring, and the more water you pay for.
If something doesn't seem right, give us a call on 08 6118 4273. A leak check now could save you a much bigger repair later.

Watch for higher water bills, a moving water meter with taps off, damp patches, musty smells or the sound of running water when nothing is on.
We use pressure testing, acoustic listening, thermal imaging and moisture meters to pinpoint the leak before opening anything up.
Yes. Hot and cold water pipes often run under the slab. We can locate under-slab leaks and recommend the least disruptive repair option.
