Listening gear tells me where the water is escaping, so I only open up the spot that needs it. Then I fix it properly so it doesn't go again next winter. That includes the awkward ones under the slab and inside the walls.

Questions about burst pipes & leaks
A pipe has burst. What do I do right now?
Turn the water off at the meter, usually at the front of the property, then ring me.
How do you find a leak without digging everything up?
The gear picks up the sound of water escaping through concrete or plaster, which narrows it down to a small patch before I cut into anything.
Is a slab leak a big job?
It depends on where the leak is and what's around it. Once I've found it, I'll explain your options and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover my suburb?
I'm based in St James and work across Perth's river suburbs: the CBD, the eastern suburbs, most of the southern ones, and across to Nedlands and Cottesloe. The full list is on my home page, and if yours isn't on it, ring anyway.
Can you come out after hours?
Booked work is Monday to Friday, 7am to 4pm. After-hours work is by arrangement, so ring and ask.
Fixed price,
no surprises
Tell me what’s going on and I’ll ring you back with a number, usually same day. Asking doesn’t commit you to anything.
