About This Service

Find Leaks Without Tearing Up Your Property

A hidden water leak inside a wall, under a concrete slab, or in an underground pipe can go undetected for months — quietly causing mould, structural damage and inflating your water bill. Traditional plumbing would mean breaking open walls or digging up your yard to find it.

Lightning Response Plumbing uses professional electronic and acoustic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of the leak with minimal disruption. We then repair it cleanly, so the damage to your property is kept to the absolute minimum.

Warning Signs

Signs You Need This Service

Don't ignore these warning signs — acting early saves money and prevents further damage.

💧

Unexplained Water Bill Increase

Your usage habits haven't changed, but your water bill keeps climbing — a classic hidden leak sign.

🟫

Damp or Discoloured Patches

Wet patches on walls, ceilings or floors with no obvious explanation can indicate a leaking pipe behind the surface.

🍄

Mould or Mildew

Recurring mould in areas that aren't near steam (away from showers/kitchens) often indicates ongoing moisture from a hidden leak.

🌿

Unusually Green Patch of Lawn

A section of lawn that's greener and lusher than the rest can indicate a leaking underground pipe feeding it.

🔊

Sound of Running Water

Hearing water running when all taps are off — especially at night — is a strong indicator of an active leak.

📉

Low Water Pressure

A drop in pressure combined with higher bills can point to a leak in the supply line before it reaches your taps.

How It Works

Our Process

Simple, transparent, and efficient — we keep you informed at every step.

1

Meter & Pressure Test

We start with a water meter isolation test to confirm a leak exists and quantify how significant it is.

2

Detection Scan

Using acoustic listening equipment and electronic pipe locators, we trace the pipe and listen for the leak signature.

3

Pinpoint & Mark

We mark the exact location — usually within centimetres — before any opening up or excavation begins.

4

Repair & Restore

We make the minimum-necessary opening, repair the leak, then restore and test the system fully.
