Benefits of Timely Leak Detection

Early detection of water leaks helps prevent structural damage to your house. Water infiltrating walls, floors, and foundations can compromise the integrity of your building, leading to expensive repair work and potential safety hazards.

2

Reduces Water
Bills

Unnoticed leaks can cause a significant increase in your water bills. By detecting and fixing leaks early, you can avoid unnecessary water wastage and save money on your monthly utility expenses.

3

The longer a leak goes undetected, the more damage it can cause, leading to more extensive and expensive repairs. Early leak detection helps you address issues before they escalate, saving you time and money in the long run.

Advanced Water Leak Detection Methods at Eastside Plumbing

At Eastside Plumbing, we use a range of advanced and smart leak detection methods to accurately identify and address water leaks in your house. Our state-of-the-art technology and expertise ensure that we can pinpoint leaks quickly and efficiently, minimising potential damage and repair costs. Here’s an in-depth look at the sophisticated techniques we use:

Acoustic Leak Detection

Our acoustic leak detection method utilises advanced listening devices to detect the sound of water escaping from pipes. These high-sensitivity devices can pick up the faintest sounds of leaks, even through thick walls and concrete floors. By analysing these sounds, our technicians can accurately pinpoint the location of the leak, allowing for precise leak repairs without unnecessary disruption to your property.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is a cutting-edge technology that identifies temperature differences in building materials. Water leaks cause subtle changes in temperature, which our infrared cameras can detect. This method is particularly useful for finding hidden leaks behind walls, under floors, or in ceilings. Thermal imaging provides a non-invasive way to reveal leaks without causing any damage to your property.

Pressure Testing

Pressure testing is an effective technique for identifying leaks in pipes and plumbing fixtures. By monitoring changes in pressure within the plumbing system, our technicians can determine if there is a leak and its approximate location. This method is ideal for detecting leaks in water supply lines, irrigation systems, and other pressurised plumbing installations. Pressure testing helps us ensure the integrity of your entire plumbing system.

Video Inspection

Our video inspection method uses state-of-the-art cameras to visually inspect hard-to-reach areas within your plumbing system. These cameras are inserted into pipes and other confined spaces, providing real-time video footage of the interior conditions. This allows our technicians to identify blockages, cracks, and leaks with high precision. Video inspection is particularly useful for locating leaks in underground pipes, sewer lines, and other areas that are otherwise inaccessible.

By utilising these advanced techniques, Eastside Plumbing ensures efficient and accurate leak detection and repair, safeguarding your property from potential water damage and water wastage. Our team of expert plumbers is dedicated to providing top-notch service to homeowners in Melbourne.

Fixing Leaking Taps

A leaking tap may seem like a minor issue, but it can lead to water waste and increased bills. Our plumbers can identify the cause of your leaking tap and repair it effectively. We offer prompt and reliable services to fix leaking taps and stop the annoying dripping.

We couldn’t be more pleased with our initial experience and the service provided by Eastside Plumbing and Gasfitting over the last week. Had two emergencies in one week at busy times of day (4pm one day), gave them a try, and was able to rely on them to promptly attend, provide an extremely professional service, and at a reasonable price. The follow-up report and customer service are excellent; on each occasion, we received photos of the problem as well as a report. They don’t just talk the talk when it comes to service. I will definitely use them again.
