Cairns Leak Detection

Pointer Leak Detection will save you from unnecessary costs and unwanted downtime

Hidden leaks in your home or workshop line can quietly burn money for months

Why choose detection only

We are not plumbers, so our findings are independent and our only goal is the answer. We can refer you to a trusted plumber when you are ready for the repair.

Residential leak detection

Unexplained high-water bills, damp walls, wet patches or a meter that will not stop moving. We locate the leak, so your plumber knows exactly where to go.

Workshop and shed leak detection

Keep your costs down and your downtime at zero. We trace leaks in supply lines, amenities and outbuildings, often a long way from the meter, and we work around your schedule.

One job, done precisely: finding your leak

Pointer Leak Detection specialises in finding hidden water leaks quickly and accurately, so repairs are targeted and your property stays intact.

We work with homes, and with workshops and sheds for small to medium businesses.

Our promise

Our no find, no fee guarantee means we keep scanning until we find the exact source, otherwise it is free.

The Sewerin A200 is a multi-sensor tool, commonly paired with acoustic ground microphones and correlators, and the A200 handles things like moisture or leak-sound analysis. Our use and understanding of this technology allows us to locate leaks promptly and efficiently.
