Overview

Find it once, fix it once

Water rarely comes out where it gets in. It travels along slabs, joints, and services before it shows up as a stain or a drip, so repairing the wet spot often does nothing.

We assess the building, the affected areas, and the likely water paths before choosing a test. That narrows down the source and cuts down on exploratory or destructive work. Once we find it, the same team recommends and carries out the repair: waterproofing, crack injection, joint sealing, membrane replacement, or concrete remediation.

Leak Detection
Methods

How we find leaks

Thermal imaging

Shows temperature differences caused by moisture behind finishes, so wet areas can be traced without opening up walls.

Moisture testing and mapping

Readings across the area build a map of where the moisture is and where it is coming from.

Electronic leak detection

Finds breaches in waterproofing membranes on roofs and podiums.

Controlled water testing

Water is applied to one element at a time, such as a window or a joint, to confirm which one leaks.

Flood testing

A roof, balcony, or wet area is flooded to test the membrane over time.

Dye testing

Coloured dye shows the path water takes from where it enters to where it appears.

FAQs

Common questions

The questions we get asked most. Can’t see yours? Call 1300 665 325.

Why not just repair where the water shows?

Water travels before it appears, so the wet spot is often not where the leak is. Testing first avoids paying for a repair in the wrong place.

We use non-destructive methods first, such as thermal imaging and moisture mapping, to keep exploratory work to a minimum.

Yes. The team that finds the leak carries out the repair, whether that is waterproofing, crack injection, joint sealing, or concrete remediation.
