Commercial Leak Locating questions

Commercial Leak Locating for Adelaide businesses: what you need to know

These are the questions Adelaide business owners ask us most about commercial leak locating, answered by plumbers with 70+ years of local experience.

Why is my business water bill suddenly higher?

A hidden leak under a slab, in a fire service or in an underground main is the usual cause of a sudden jump in SA Water charges.

How do you find leaks on large commercial sites?

We use acoustic listening, tracer gas and thermal imaging to pinpoint leaks across car parks, slabs and long pipe runs.

Can leaks be found without closing my business?

Yes. Most leak detection is non-invasive and can be done during quiet periods or after hours.

Can I claim a leak allowance from SA Water?

Possibly. SA Water may offer an allowance for repaired concealed leaks, and we provide the report you need to apply.
