At Champion Plumbing & Drains, we provide expert water leak detection for homes across Sydney’s Inner West. If you suspect a hidden water leak, notice an increase in your water bills, or see damp patches growing, our licensed plumbers use advanced leak detection equipment to locate the exact source without disrupting your property. With years of leak detection experience, we have the skills to service older properties in Ashfield and Newtown, as well as modern homes in Rozelle and Drummoyne, finding underground water leaks efficiently and often repairing them that same day.
Leak detection involves using advanced technology to locate water leaks in your plumbing system without tearing up floors, walls, or gardens.
Our licensed plumbers use acoustic leak detection devices that listen for the sound of water escaping from your pipes and thermal imaging to detect temperature changes caused by hidden water leaks. This approach saves time, reduces the cost or repairs, and protects your property from unnecessary damage because we find the exact location before any digging starts, compared to traditional methods that require extensive excavation.
Watch for these common warning signs in your inner west property:
Ignoring a hidden water leak can lead to structural damage, mould growth, and water bills costing you thousands. Our leak detection specialists locate the problem quickly so we can start repairs straight away.
We use acoustic leak detection technology to pinpoint water leaks in underground pipes, walls, and irrigation systems without digging. Unlike visual inspections, this method detects hidden leaks through concrete, driveways, and landscaping.
We use thermal imaging to detect hidden water leaks behind walls, under floors, and beneath concrete, making it ideal for older Sydney homes.
Our underground water leak detection service uses a combination of acoustic equipment, pressure testing, and tracer gas technology to find leaks in water mains and service lines buried under your property.

Yes. Our acoustic leak detection and thermal imaging technology help us find hidden water leaks without needing to dig up or demolish your property. We only dig or open walls after we have found the exact location of the leak. Find your leak today with Champion Plumbing & Drains.
Our leak detection plumbers can find your leak within 1-2 hrs, depending on your property size and the layout of your plumbing. Older homes in suburbs like Leichhardt and Balmain with complex drainage networks can take longer. For a more accurate estimate, give our team a call today!
In most cases, yes. Hidden water leaks can waste hundreds of litres of water per day, significantly increasing your water bills. A typical slow leak can waste 200 to 400 litres daily, sometimes adding $30 to $60 per month to your bill. Once we find and repair your leak, your water usage will go back to normal, and you should see a change in your next bill.
A quick assessment you can do at home is to check your water meter before you go to bed and again in the morning without using any water. If the meter reading has changed, there’s a good chance you have a leak. Other signs we see include increased water bills, damp patches, or the sound of running water when all taps are off.
