A real person answers, day or night
A rising bill is always coming from somewhere
Water doesn't vanish without a reason. Call (02) 9072 0511 and describe what you've noticed, and the actual source gets traced properly instead of anyone guessing where to start opening things up.
Why leaks here can be tricky to pin down
Corrosion inside original galvanised pipe works silently for years
The plateau's slope carries water further than the fault itself
Leak detection services we provide
Instrument-led detection that skips the guesswork and the unnecessary digging:
Acoustic leak detection
Purpose-built listening gear amplifies the faint sound of pressurised water escaping through pipe, letting us zero in on roughly where along the run the actual failure sits.
Thermal imaging
A thermal camera picks up subtle temperature shifts caused by water sitting somewhere it shouldn't, behind a wall or beneath a floor, confirming what the listening equipment already suggests.
Slope-aware leak tracing
Built for properties where a sloping block puts real distance between a leak's visible sign and where the pipe genuinely failed, working methodically uphill until the true point turns up.
Pinhole corrosion checks
A targeted look at exposed galvanised and copper sections for early corrosion, catching a pinhole leak while it's still a straightforward fix rather than waiting until it becomes a bigger one.
Where detection calls come from most
Lower Plateau Road's original stock generates a steady run of corrosion-related callouts
The Outlook's sloped blocks see more than their share of slope-traced detection work
Common leak detection problems we solve
Two situations explain the bulk of our detection bookings:
An account that's climbing for no obvious reason
Nothing to see, nothing to feel, just a number on the statement that keeps ticking upward, and the equipment gives us a genuine answer rather than another round of guesswork.
A damp patch that doesn't line up with any pipe you know about
Water has a habit of turning up somewhere other than directly above the fault, so a mark on a ceiling or a soft spot in the yard often needs proper tracing rather than a shovel.
Why proper detection beats guessing every time
There's a real cost to guessing at a leak rather than finding it first:
- Breaking into the wrong spot solves nothing A wall or slab opened up without solid evidence behind it can leave you with a hole, a mess and the original leak still running.
- Time is never on the leak's side Every additional week a leak runs unnoticed adds to whatever it's quietly softening, staining or rotting somewhere out of sight.
- A confirmed cause makes for an honest number Pricing a repair against a known fault beats pricing one against a guess, every single time.
How it works
How a leak detection job runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0511 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Narrow it down properly
Both instruments work together to bring the location down to one confirmed point, so any access opened afterward lands exactly where the actual repair genuinely needs to happen.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Bilgola Plateau
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Bilgola Plateau works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.

Good questions, straight answers
Leak detection questions from Bilgola Plateau locals
The water bill went up but nothing looks wet anywhere. Where do you even start?
That pattern almost always means water's escaping somewhere unseen, and instead of pulling walls apart to chase it, our listening and thermal gear identifies roughly where the trouble actually sits.
Original galvanised pipe seems prone to pinhole leaks. Is that actually true?
Yes, corrosion eats through from the inside on ageing galvanised line, and by the time a pinhole leak actually shows on a wall or ceiling, it's often been forming for a long while.
Can a leak surface a fair distance from where the pipe's actually failed?
It can, particularly where a block slopes toward the plateau's edge, since escaping water tends to migrate downhill quietly before any damp patch ever becomes visible on the surface.
Does finding a leak this way mean fewer holes get cut in my walls?
Generally yes, the equipment narrows things down to a specific point first, so any access that follows is a small, targeted opening rather than a wide exploratory search.
How do you price a detection job when you don't yet know what's actually wrong?
The visit to locate it comes with its own set price, agreed before we start, and a repair afterward is a separate matter entirely, priced once we know exactly what we're dealing with.
If a leak's under the slab, does that mean the floor has to come up?
In most cases, yes, the combined readings get specific enough that a small access point is all that's genuinely needed, well short of digging up or breaking into the whole area.
