How It Works
Getting professional plumbing help is easy. Here's our straightforward 4-step process from first contact to job completion.
Initial Consultation
Call us with your concerns — high bills, damp patches, running meter. We gather details to determine the most appropriate detection method and schedule a visit.
Non-Invasive Detection
Using thermal imaging, acoustic equipment, and moisture meters, we systematically survey the property to locate the leak with pinpoint accuracy — no unnecessary demolition.
Leak Repair
Once located, we repair the leak using the least invasive method possible. This may involve pipe clamping, section replacement, or pipe rerouting depending on the situation.
Verification & Report
We verify the repair is watertight, check for any secondary damage, and provide a detailed report documenting the leak location, cause, repair performed, and any recommendations.

Professional Plumbing Services You Can Trust
Hidden water leaks can cause devastating structural damage, mould growth, and skyrocketing water bills long before they become visible. Tradetek Solutions uses advanced, non-invasive leak detection technology including acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, tracer gas detection, and moisture meters to pinpoint the exact location of leaks without unnecessary demolition. Whether the leak is behind walls, under floors, in concrete slabs, or underground, our specialist equipment allows us to find it with precision.
Our leak detection process is methodical and non-destructive. We start with a comprehensive property survey using moisture meters and thermal cameras to identify affected areas. We then use acoustic equipment to listen for the sound of pressurised water escaping from pipes, narrowing down the leak location to within centimetres. This precision approach means minimal disruption — often just a small access hole is needed for repair rather than tearing out entire walls or floors.
Common Plumbing Issues We Solve
1Hidden Slab Leaks
Pipes running through or under concrete slabs can develop pinhole leaks from corrosion or ground movement. These leaks often go undetected for months, causing rising damp, floor damage, and significantly elevated water bills before being noticed.
2In-Wall Pipe Leaks
Leaking pipes inside wall cavities cause paint bubbling, damp patches, mould growth, and timber frame rot. Our thermal imaging and moisture detection equipment can locate these leaks without cutting open walls unnecessarily.
3Underground Water Main Leaks
A leaking water main between the meter and your home can waste enormous volumes of water. Signs include unexplained high water bills, damp patches in the yard, or a constantly running water meter even when all taps are off.
4Pool & Spa Leaks
Swimming pool and spa leaks can be difficult to locate as water can travel along pipe runs before surfacing. We use pressure testing and dye testing to identify leak points in pool plumbing, shells, and fittings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our plumbing services answered by our experts
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all taps are off, damp or warm spots on floors, mould or musty smells, paint bubbling or plaster cracking, and a water meter that keeps ticking over when nothing is in use.
Is leak detection non-invasive?
Is leak detection non-invasive?
Yes, our primary detection methods — acoustic listening, thermal imaging, moisture meters, and tracer gas — are completely non-invasive. We pinpoint the leak location accurately before any access holes are made, minimising damage to your property.
Can you detect gas leaks as well?
Can you detect gas leaks as well?
Yes, our licensed gas fitters use electronic gas detectors and soapy water testing to locate gas leaks in both internal and external gas lines. Gas leak detection requires immediate attention — if you smell gas, evacuate and call us immediately.
How much water can a hidden leak waste?
How much water can a hidden leak waste?
Even a small pinhole leak can waste over 10,000 litres per month. A running toilet can waste up to 60,000 litres per year. Early detection not only saves water and money but prevents serious structural damage from prolonged moisture exposure.
Will you repair the leak once you find it?
