20 Years Finding Leaks Others Miss

How Thorneside Plumbing & Drains Locates Leaks Across Thorneside Without The Damage

Thorneside Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven detection methods to find the exact source of a leak before a single tile or floorboard is disturbed. Rather than relying on guesswork, our technicians build a clear picture of what's happening beneath the surface, then mark the precise spot that needs attention.

• Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping mains, copper and poly lines
• Thermal imaging to trace temperature changes left behind by hot and cold water leaks in walls, ceilings and slabs
• Tracer gas methods for plastic pipework and noisy sites where acoustic testing alone isn't conclusive
• Pressure testing and isolation checks to confirm whether a spinning water meter points to a leak between the meter and your house
• Written leak detection reports with photos and location markings, useful for insurance claims and restoration companies

Once we've confirmed the location, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a straightforward patch repair, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless pipe relining for leaks running under a slab or driveway. You'll always know the cost upfront before we start any work, thanks to our fixed-price approach.
