Has Your Water Bill Increased? Underground leak?

Got a leak under the ground?

If you’ve ever experienced an increase in your water bill or seen masses of water in your yard that you didn’t put there, then you may have a water leak under the ground that you can’t see. Put simply, not all plumbing work will remain in tact forever… and unfortunately we usually find out the hard way via a burst water pipe and/or an increased water bill.

Should you investigate the issue further, and what’s the solution?

Your water meter doesn’t just increase for no reason, and the good people at the council will usually send you a notice of excess water usage if there is a substantial change in the pattern of your water intake… that’s if you don’t physically see the water beforehand. If the council can’t find the problem on their side of the fence, then it’s up to you to sort out the problem within your property boundary.

We now use sonic leak detection equipment to help fast track and pin point water leaks appearing on the exterior surface of your property.

Wouldn’t it be easier to call a plumber?

Maybe… but most plumbers don’t have the equipment and training needed to find water leaks underground without needing to dig up dirt first. Some plumbers may have the experience to find these types of leaks, but you also need to remember that water can surface far away from the leak source… especially if there is a slope to the land. This is when our sonic leak detection equipment comes in handy!

What if the rupture in the pipe is under a sealed driveway or cement slab?

We can find it. This is actually a common place for pipes to burst, because when your foundations consistantly get wet or moist (over time) it causes the area to sink and fracture in places. This huge amount of weight pushes down on the underground pipe work and can crack pipes in an instant. We simply mark an ‘X’ over the top of where we detect the highest frequency, and the appropriate contractor can go directly to the source rather than digging up a large area of your driveway, house or factory (which you are responsible to pay for).

I enlisted Dean’s services 2 days prior to “D-day” of us purchasing our first NZ home. Dean proved to be an extremely efficient and knowledgeable technician. He has a very good understanding not only of his specific field, but also of general building requirements. He was easily able to spot, and talk me through, existing as well as potential problems, and was very open to answering the myriads of questions I fired his way. Most importantly, he gave me non-biased answers, allowing me to make an objective decision regarding the purchase of a potentially leaky home. Thanks again for excellent service Dean! Simone P - Titirangi

We have lived for some time in an old weather board cottage which we have renovated over a period of years. Recently we discovered a leak, so we googled “find a leak” and found a comprehensive and detailed website of the same name. Next we spoke to Dean and an appointment was made. He was punctual, courteous and his experience was obvious. His thermal imaging equipment is ‘state of the art’ and the source leak was quickly detected.

Dean was able offer practical solutions which we can act on with confidence. As a result of this experience we would recommend the use of his skills before the sale or purchase of any property to be reassured as to the integrity of the property. Dean is personable, a superb communicator and a true professional. Maggie & David M - Waiatarua

Dean was very professional and I would highly recommend anyone that is thinking of buying a property to get thermal testing done. Fortunately it was by pure chance that I even knew these tests were available after speaking to my neighbour and he advising me. The house we were looking at had water leaks and Dean has saved me many thousands of dollars in the long run. David G - West Auckland

Dean is a very professional and friendly guy. He goes step by step through the process which is very valuable. When he finds a potential problem he immediately notified to me and discussed with me in details on what actions could be taken. Anyway no major problems were detected in the property I wanted to purchase. However I greatly advice anyone to obtain Dean's professional service to make sure the property is in a satisfactory condition. Robbie P - Glen Eden

Thank you very much for the great service, very professional and appreciated the time taken to explain the process. Very glad to know that with all the stigma that goes with plaster houses, ours is not a leaky home. The report has helped pin-point some areas for maintenance which we plan to undertake sooner rather than later..Thanks again. Heather M - Maraetai

We were a bit apprehensive about what the leak detection might find, but found Dean’s confident, friendly and very capable approach extremely reassuring. While we were greatly relieved by the findings concerning the exterior of the house, Dean’s thoroughness in looking also for internal issues uncovered a surprise bath leak. Thanks Dean for solving the mysterious odour that’s been bothering us for the last 6 months! We highly recommend Dean to anyone with even the slightest concerns regarding moisture in their homes. Kevin - West Auckland

Thank you Dean for your prompt service. I was given 2 days to have a Building inspection done which found some dampness in the house. It was well worth the money spent as Dean found some other damp issues. He was very thorough and very informative and even though there were issues with the house they were all fixable so I was then able to re negotiate the purchase price. I would recommend anyone buying a house- any type of building structure to have ’Thermo Imaging’ as part of a building inspection. Thank you once again. Maree, Glendowie

We had some concerns about a recently renovation house including a lower basement. Being nosey I popped around to join Dean on his inspection. Apart from enjoying meeting him, Dean was enormously informative, approachable & friendly, I found the technology & information I gleaned fascinating. Fortunately, we identified no significant issues with the property. It gave us great peace of mind & we can enjoy our new home knowing we have bought a dry, water tight property with with hidden surprises. Thank you Dean for your help & reassurance. To my mind it is certainly worth the modest sum versus potential costs you could incur which could also mar one of most expensive purchases of your life.. Diane - Devonport
