Hidden water leaks can cause serious damage before you even notice a problem

Dripping pipes, damp walls, unusual water bills, or puddles around your property are all signs of leaks that, if left untreated, can lead to structural damage, mould growth, and costly repairs. Detecting the source can be difficult, especially when pipes are hidden underground, behind walls, or under floors.

At Friendly Plumbing, we understand how stressful and disruptive water leaks can be. You need a solution that’s fast, accurate, and non-invasive. That’s why our fully accredited plumbers use advanced detection technology to locate leaks quickly and efficiently, minimising disruption to your home or business.

With over 15 years of trusted service across Sydney, we combine professional expertise, modern equipment, and proven techniques to detect and repair leaks with precision. Our goal is to stop water damage before it escalates, keeping your property safe and your water system fully functional.

Recent Job: Damaged Water Pipe Re-Routed at an Inner-City Sydney Home

A damaged section of copper water pipe was running beneath the concrete at an inner-city Sydney home. Because the faulty section was difficult to reach, a new cold-water line needed to be installed around it.

We removed part of the concrete, exposed the old pipe and isolated the water supply. We then removed the old pipework and installed a new copper line and garden tap.

The new pipe was secured beneath the home, connected to the existing water service and tested. No leaks were found. We protected the pipework, reinstated the concrete and cleaned the area.

If the damaged pipe had failed beneath the slab, it could have caused a hidden water leak that went unnoticed. This could have wasted water, caused ongoing dampness and required a much larger section of concrete to be removed.

We prioritise clear communication throughout the entire process. From the moment you contact us until the job is complete, you will receive timely updates and easy-to-understand explanations so you always know what is happening.

We have written a whole post on how much plumbers charge in Sydney. Friendly Plumbing does not charge a call out fee to visit your property (during normal business hours). Before work begins, we provide a fixed price quote. That means there are no nasty surprises when the work is completed and the bill is presented. The friendly approach is all about clear quotes and transparent pricing before starting work.

If your property has its own water meter, you can check for a possible leak with this simple test:

  1. Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, including dishwashers, washing machines and irrigation systems.
  2. Find your water meter, usually located near the front of the property.
  3. Write down the numbers shown on the meter.
  4. Avoid using any water for at least one hour.
  5. Check the meter again.

If the numbers have changed, water is still flowing somewhere on the property, which may indicate a leak. A larger change may point to a more significant leak.
