FAQs About Leak Detection in Gauteng
1. What is leak detection and how does it work?
Leak detection is the process of locating hidden water leaks in homes, buildings, or underground pipes using advanced tools such as thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, tracer gas, and CCTV inspections.
2. Why is professional leak detection important in Gauteng homes and businesses?
Hidden leaks cause high water bills, structural damage, damp walls, mould growth, and unnecessary water loss. Professional leak detection ensures accurate diagnosis without damaging your property.
3. What are the signs that I need leak detection services in Gauteng?
Common signs include damp patches on walls, low water pressure, continuous water meter movement, higher-than-normal water bills, mould smells, cracked tiles, or the sound of running water when taps are off.
4. Do you offer emergency leak detection in Gauteng?
Yes. We provide fast-response emergency leak detection in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Ekurhuleni, and surrounding areas.
5. How do leak detection specialists find underground leaks?
Underground leaks are located using acoustic detection, tracer gas, ground penetrating radar (GPR), thermal imaging, and specialized pipe tracing equipment.
6. Can leak detection identify a small, slow leak?
Absolutely. Using tracer gas and ultrasonic technology, we can detect even the smallest pinhole leaks accurately.
7. What leak detection methods do you use in Gauteng?
We use thermal imaging, acoustic detection, tracer gas, CCTV pipe inspections, moisture meters, GPR, dye testing, and data logging for advanced leak detection.
8. How much does leak detection cost in Gauteng?
Leak detection costs typically start from R1,600 for residential properties and vary based on the location and severity of the leak.
9. What areas in Gauteng do you service for leak detection?
We service Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Sandton, Randburg, Roodepoort, East Rand, West Rand, Ekurhuleni, and all surrounding suburbs.
10. Can you detect leaks behind walls?
Yes. Thermal imaging and moisture meters help us detect leaks behind tiled, plastered, or painted walls without breaking them open.
11. Do you repair the leaks after detecting them?
Yes, we offer both leak detection and leak repair services, including pipe replacement, rerouting, patching, and waterproofing.
12. What causes most water leaks in Gauteng properties?
Common causes include old pipes, high water pressure, corrosion, faulty plumbing joints, temperature changes, and ground movement.
13. How long does a leak detection appointment take?
Most leak detection jobs take between 1–3 hours, depending on the complexity.
14. Do you offer commercial leak detection in Gauteng?
Yes, we detect leaks in malls, hotels, warehouses, offices, factories, restaurants, schools, and industrial facilities.
15. Can you help with municipal water leaks?

16. Do you offer pool leak detection in Gauteng?
Yes. We specialise in swimming pool leak detection using dye tests, pressure tests, and acoustic methods.
17. How can I check for a leak myself before calling a specialist?
Turn off all taps and appliances. Check if the water meter is still moving. If it is, you likely have a leak.
18. Are thermal cameras effective for leak detection?
Yes. Thermal imaging is ideal for hot water lines, underfloor heating leaks, and leaks inside walls or ceilings.
19. Can a leak be detected without breaking tiles or walls?
Yes. Most leaks are found using non-invasive leak detection technology, meaning no damage to the property.

22. Do you detect leaks in fire lines or industrial systems?
Yes. We detect leaks in fire suppression systems, boiler rooms, industrial pipelines, and high-pressure systems.
23. How accurate is acoustic leak detection?
Very accurate. Acoustic sensors identify the sound of escaping water to pinpoint underground and hidden leaks.
24. Why is my water bill suddenly high?
A hidden leak—often underground or behind a wall—causes high water consumption and inflated bills. Leak detection can identify the source.
