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.

EXCELLENT Based on 103 reviews Posted on Google Douglas Macpherson10 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Champion Plumbing & Drains because of their advertised "$0 call-out fee" to replace two laundry taps and a washing machine hose. Once on-site, the technician showed me an official quote on a screen for $1,300. To be clear: the replacement parts cost less than $50 at Bunnings, and the entire job took me 20 minutes to complete myself once I sent them away. I followed up via their official web chat to ask if this $1,300 figure was the standard company rate for such a minor task. They failed to respond. This business model relies on a "free" hook to get inside your home, followed by an astronomical quote thousands of percent above market rates. It is an exploitative tactic. Inner West residents: please look for a plumber with transparent pricing and avoid this company.Posted on Google Sally Oughton6 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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.
