Leak Detection Cairns

Some leaks show you exactly where they are. Others disappear underground or behind walls while the meter keeps counting.

Signs of a possible leak

Clues include a sudden water bill increase, a moving meter when water is off, damp areas, unusually green patches, stains, running-water sounds or unexplained pressure loss.

Finding the source

We work through what is visible and what can be tested to narrow down where water is escaping and what repair is practical.

Private plumbing or Council infrastructure?

If the suspected leak is on the private side of the property plumbing, a plumber can investigate it. Problems at or before the meter may need Council attention.
