A wet patch on the ceiling, a musty smell, or grout that never dries — the damage almost never appears where the leak actually starts. Our job is to find the true source before anyone picks up a chisel.

Signs You Need Leak Detection

  • Water stains or bubbling paint on a ceiling or wall below a bathroom
  • A musty, damp smell in the bathroom or an adjoining room
  • Grout, silicone or skirting that stays damp long after the shower is off
  • Lifting or “drummy” floor tiles, or swollen vanity kickboards
  • An unexplained jump in your water bill

How We find Your Leak

Visual & moisture mapping

Calibrated moisture meters map exactly how far the water has tracked.

Thermal imaging

Infrared cameras reveal cold, wet zones hidden behind tiles and walls.

Flood & pressure testing

We isolate the shower, waste and plumbing to confirm the failure point.

Written report

You get a plain-English diagnosis and a fixed-price quote to fix it.

Real Plumbers. Leak Specialists.

Why It Matters

Getting the diagnosis right is the difference between a targeted re-seal and a full bathroom rebuild. Newcastle’s coastal humidity makes hidden leaks worse over time — early detection saves the floor, the frame and your budget.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

Common signs include water stains on the ceiling below, soft or spongy flooring adjacent to the shower, musty smells, peeling paint or wallpaper near the shower wall, and visible damp patches. If you notice any of these, get it checked quickly — leaks get worse, not better.

Not in most cases. We use non-invasive leak detection — moisture meters and thermal imaging — to find the source without unnecessary demolition. Many leaks can be fixed by resealing joints and applying waterproofing membrane to the affected area only.

Most repairs are completed in a single visit of 2 to 4 hours. More complex jobs requiring full waterproofing membrane or tile replacement may take a day. We’ll give you a clear timeframe when we quote.

We price by the job, not by the hour, so you get a fixed quote upfront. Basic reseals and targeted repairs start from $350. Full waterproofing jobs vary depending on the size of the shower and extent of damage. There is no call-out fee.

Yes — every repair comes with a written workmanship guarantee. If your shower develops the same leak within the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no cost. No arguments, no runaround.
