Visual Inspection

Your Local Leak Detection — accurate, professional, and here when you need us most.

The First Step to Finding Hidden Leaks

How We Accurately Find and Fix Your Leaks

Before we bring out the high-tech gear, we start with a thorough visual inspection – checking your plumbing fixtures, fittings, and water meter to identify any obvious signs of a leak. This simple first step can often narrow down the problem and save unnecessary testing.

How Our Visual Inspection Works

Check the water meter

We turn off all taps and check for movement at the water meter, confirming whether water is escaping somewhere on the property.

Inspect fixtures and fittings

We examine taps, toilets, showers, and hot water cylinders for visible leaks, drips, or running water.

Compare readings

We compare your Watercare usage against your current meter reading to detect abnormal water loss.

Assess inside and outside

We check both indoors and outdoors – under sinks, behind appliances, in the ceiling cavity, and around the perimeter of your home for dampness or water damage.
