We cover all of Winston Hills for leak detection, the City of Parramatta streets and the ones in The Hills Shire, same day, seven days. From base it is 4.9km.

What you are paying for is not a bloke with a hammer and a theory. It is gear that hears water escaping through a slab, sees the heat signature of a hot line under a floor, and proves which section failed. Nothing gets cut until we mark the spot.

    About the suburb

    The plumbing here is mostly copper, laid when the project homes went up through the 1960s and 1970s, and most of those houses are brick veneer on slab-on-ground. Copper thins with age and gives a pinhole, and in a slab house that pinhole sits under concrete with a floor over it, running twenty four hours a day.

    The ground adds to it. These are the reactive shale soils of the Hills, swelling in a wet winter and shrinking back over summer, which is hard on rigid copper. Add the big blocks the estate was laid out with, where the run from the front meter to the house is long, and there are plenty of places for water to escape unseen.

    Most homes here are owned by the people living in them, so the usual trigger for a call is a bill that does not match the way the household lives.

    Common questions from Winston Hills homeowners

    How does acoustic leak detection work?
    Water escaping a pressurised pipe makes a noise. A ground microphone and amplifier let us hear it through concrete and tile, and the loudest point is where the water is getting out.
    Does thermal imaging work on cold water lines?
    Hot lines are easier, because a leak spreads a warm plume the camera sees. Cold lines show in reverse, as a cool patch. Thermal is one input rather than the whole answer.
    How accurate is the location?
    The aim is a spot to cut, not an area to explore. On a slab leak we mark a position. If we are not confident we say so before anything is opened.
    The bill jumped but the meter is not moving. Why?
    An intermittent leak that runs at certain pressures, a toilet seeping into the pan, irrigation on a sticking valve, or a meter reading estimated last quarter. We isolate sections and watch.
    Do you need access to the whole house?
    We need the meter, the main shut-off and usually the wet areas, because the test isolates sections and watches what holds pressure.
    Can you find a leak in a garden line?
    Yes, and on the larger blocks here that is a regular one. Buried garden lines are shallow, often poly, and easy to damage with a spade years later, losing a lot of water into a lawn that never looks wet.
