Two Decades of Leak Detection Expertise in Kippa-ring

How Kippa-ring Plumbing & Drains Finds Leaks Without Guesswork

Rather than opening up walls or breaking concrete on a hunch, Kippa-ring Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical approach to leak detection that narrows down the exact location before any repair work begins. Our Kippa-ring technicians combine several detection methods depending on the pipe material, location and how the leak is behaving.

• Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping mains and copper lines
• Thermal imaging cameras to trace temperature changes from hot and cold leaks hidden in walls, ceilings and slabs
• Tracer gas and non-invasive methods for plastic pipe or noisy sites where acoustic testing alone isn't conclusive
• Isolation testing and meter watches to confirm whether a high water bill is coming from a fixture, irrigation line or underground main
• Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations for insurance claims and restoration companies

Once we've pinpointed the source, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch, a section replacement or a broader repipe, so you can make an informed decision before any work starts.
