Can you find leaks caused by mine subsidence in Garden Suburb?

Yes, we focus on identifying leaks caused by ground movement. Our acoustic equipment detects fissures or pipe breaks caused by soil shift under historic homes.

Does the City of Newcastle Council require permits for major leak repairs?

Generally, internal plumbing repairs do not require council permits. However, if your leak involves major sewer line reconstruction or drainage, we advise on local guidelines.

How quickly can you attend to a suspected leak?

We aim for a 60-minute target for high-priority emergency callouts. Contact our office to confirm current availability in your specific area.

Is thermal imaging effective for finding wall leaks?

Thermal imaging is highly effective for identifying temperature variations caused by water saturation behind walls. This helps us narrow down the repair site accurately.
