What is Pointer Leak Detection?
We are a leak detection specialist. We find hidden water leaks in homes, workshops and sheds, and give you a precise location so the repair can be quick and targeted.
Do you fix the leak as well?
No, and that keeps our advice independent. We are not plumbers, so we have no reason to recommend anything other than what your property needs. We give you a clear report that any licensed plumber can work from, and we can refer you to a plumber if you would like.
What does no find, no fee mean?
We do not stop scanning until the exact source is found. If we cannot find your leak, you do not pay for our service.
What if I have a smart meter, or an older one?
Smart meters are being rolled out, but older meters keep turning slowly, which can make small leaks easy to miss. Either way, we can test your property and confirm whether water is going where it should.
Can you find small leaks?
Yes. Commonly used equipment cannot find leaks under 10 litres an hour, but the old school techniques and modern technology we use have successfully found them. Small leaks are often the ones that do the most damage over time, so we take them seriously.
Will you need to dig or break anything?
No. Our acoustic equipment listens to the leak, so we can pinpoint it before anyone picks up a shovel. That protects your tiles, slabs, gardens and your budget.
How long does an inspection take?
That depends on the size of the property and the type of leak. When you book, we will give you a clearer idea of what to expect.
Do you work on workshops and sheds?
Yes. We service small to medium businesses, including long underground supply lines to sheds and outbuildings. We can book around your operational hours to keep your team working.
Do you service units or multi residential properties?
No, multi residential properties and units are generally managed through a body corporate and licensed plumbers. We focus on residential homes, and on workshops and sheds for small to medium-sized businesses, so we can give each job our full attention.
Where do you work?
From Cairns to the northern beaches, including Palm Cove, and south to Gordonvale. We also travel to the Atherton Tablelands, from Mareeba to Malanda, where additional travel expenses may apply.
How much does it cost?
All properties vary in size, depending on how long we’re on-site and if we find a leak, we can give you an estimate. Call 0408 722 138 or email info@pointerleakdetection.com.au for a quote. Our no find, no fee guarantee means you only pay when we find your leak.
