Pointer Leak Detection does one thing and we do it well: we find hidden water leaks, accurately and without damage to your property.
Commonly used water leak detection equipment cannot find leaks under 10 litres an hour.
Some old school techniques, combined with the modern technology we use today at Pointer Leak Detection, have successfully found those leaks.
Why we are called Pointer
The pointer dog breed is legendary around the world for its unmatched scenting ability, sharp focus and iconic "staunch point", freezing completely when it detects the target. The German engineered Sewerin acoustic equipment we use brings the same instinct and laser focused precision to your property.
Just like the pointer dog breed, we do not stop scanning until the exact source of your issue is found. If we cannot find it, our service is free with our no find, no fee guarantee.
Pointer Leak Detection is owned and operated by Leigh, a qualified cabinet maker and carpenter who holds a low-rise builders Licence with the Queensland Building & Construction Commission (QBCC 80586). This building background means Leigh understands how homes and sheds are put together, where pipes run and how water behaves inside walls, floors and slabs.
We offer Pointer Leak Detection services from Cairns to the northern beaches, including Palm Cove, and as far south as Gordonvale. We also travel to the Atherton Tablelands, encompassing Mareeba to Malanda. Additional travel expenses may apply.
Detection only, and proud of it
We are not plumbers, and that is a real advantage. We have nothing to sell you but the answer, so our findings are honest and independent. Once Pointer Leak Detection has found your leak, we will give you a clear report with the exact location. You can take it to your own plumber, or we are happy to refer you to a trusted local plumber.
Water bill going up? Let us find out why. We read a property the way a builder does, which helps us find the leak faster and explain it clearly.
