A bill arrives with a number on it that does not match how you live. Nobody filled a pool, nobody left a hose running, and there is not a wet patch anywhere in the house. Water is still going somewhere, and the meter is the only thing telling the truth about it.

We work across Pendle Hill and the streets around it, 4.3 kilometres from base, with same day appointments seven days a week. Leaks are not usually a midnight emergency, but they get worse and more expensive the longer they run, so there is no sense waiting a fortnight for a look.

    About Pendle Hill

    Pendle Hill is unusually consistent underground. Most of the freestanding housing went up inside one narrow window, the post-war fifties and sixties, so the pipe behind the walls tends to be the same vintage from one street to the next. That makes the era approach reliable here in a way it is not in a suburb built out over a century.

    What it means in practice: the oldest cottages may still be running galvanised steel, which rusts from the inside and gives out at threaded joints. The bulk of the stock is copper, and copper does not split so much as develop pinholes as it ages. Renovated kitchens and bathrooms, and the apartment stock that replaced older houses near the station, will be PEX. The ground under all of it is reactive clay that moves between wet and dry seasons and keeps working on every rigid joint.

    What we do in Pendle Hill

    Leak detection and repairs

    Meter isolation, acoustic listening, thermal imaging and pressure testing, then one small opening at the point we have marked. See leak detection and repairs for the full method.

    Blocked drains

    Roots in old earthenware are the usual cause around here. We clear the line and camera it so you know whether it will return.

    Hot water

    Gas, electric and heat pump, repaired or replaced, sized to the household. More on hot water systems locally.

    General plumbing and maintenance

    Taps, toilets, burst pipes, gas appliances and roof plumbing, all on one call. That is general plumbing in Pendle Hill.

    Common questions from Pendle Hill homeowners

    My water bill jumped but everything looks dry. What can I check myself?
    Turn every tap off, including the outside ones, and read the meter. Come back in an hour without using water. If the numbers moved, water is going somewhere. That one test tells us a lot before we arrive.
    What does the meter test actually involve when you do it?
    We isolate sections of the property and watch the meter for each one, which narrows the leak to a run of pipe rather than a whole house. It is the step that stops anyone cutting on a guess.
    Could it be the toilet rather than a pipe?
    Often it is. A cistern that weeps into the pan runs day and night and shows nothing on the floor. Drop some food colouring in the cistern and see if it reaches the bowl without flushing.
    Is a leak under my front yard my responsibility or Sydney Water's?
    The water service line from the meter into your house is yours to maintain. Sydney Water looks after their side of the meter. We locate it either way so you know who is wearing it.
    What signs should I be watching for inside the house?
    A section of floor that stays warm, paint lifting low on a wall, a musty smell in one room, or a tap that has lost pressure for no reason. Any of those with a high bill is worth a look.
    Do I get anything in writing for an insurance claim?
    We give you our findings in writing, with the thermal and camera images where we have them. What your insurer wants beyond that is between you and them, but the documentation of what failed and where is yours to keep.
