Detection Methods Used by State Wide Leak Detect

Acoustic Leak Detection

Acoustic equipment pinpoints leaks in pressurised pipes by picking up the sound of escaping water or gas. Specialist microphones and correlating sensors are placed along the pipe system, allowing technicians to identify the precise leak location even when the pipe is buried under pavers, concrete, or a driveway. The system remains live throughout, so water supply is not interrupted.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences caused by a leaking pipe or moisture behind surfaces. This method is particularly effective in Perth's climate, where leaks beneath sun-exposed slabs often produce a measurable thermal signature. Walls, floors, and ceilings can be assessed without cutting into drywall or lifting tiles.

Tracer Gas Detection

Tracer gas is introduced into the pipe system, and a sniffer alarm at the surface identifies where gas escapes. This method locates micro leaks that may not register on acoustic equipment alone, and works through bitumen, pavers, and compacted ground common across Perth metro suburbs and northern corridor developments.

Tips and Tricks for Perth Homeowners: Spotting a Hidden Leak Early

Catching a leak before it becomes a costly problem often comes down to knowing what to look for. Perth's sandy soils and hot summers mean surface signs can disappear quickly, so it pays to check in ways that go beyond a visual scan of your yard. Learning to recognise the early warning signs of a hidden leak is the first step toward effective water leak detection.

Start with your water meter. Turn off every tap, appliance and irrigation zone in your home, then check whether the meter dial is still moving. Even a slow, steady movement points to water escaping somewhere in the system. Note the reading before bed and check it again in the morning for a clearer picture of overnight loss.

Your Water Corporation bill is another reliable early indicator. If your usage has climbed without an obvious explanation, a hidden leak is one of the first things worth investigating.

Beyond the meter and the bill, there are several physical signs worth monitoring regularly:

• Unexplained damp or soft patches in lawn or garden beds, particularly in dry periods when irrigation is minimal
• Warm or discoloured patches on a tiled or concrete floor, which can indicate a hot water pipe leaking beneath the slab
• Low or inconsistent water pressure at taps or showerheads, especially if it has dropped gradually over time
• The sound of running water when every tap and appliance in the home is off
• Subsidence or cracking in driveways, paths, or garden edges, which can result from soil being eroded by a slow underground leak

One practical habit is to check under sinks and around the base of toilets and hot water systems every few months. Slow drips in these areas often go unnoticed until water damage appears in cabinetry or flooring. Similarly, if you have an older home with original pipework, scheduling a periodic inspection is a straightforward way to get ahead of age-related deterioration before it reaches a failure point.

If any of these signs appear, contact Statewide Leak Detect for an assessment rather than waiting to see if the problem resolves on its own.
