Pointer Leak Detection locates hidden water leaks in homes, workshops and sheds from Cairns and surroundings to the Atherton Tablelands, without breaking your tiles, slabs or gardens.
Water bill going up?
A climbing water bill is often the first sign of a hidden leak. Water costs $2 for every thousand litres, so a slow leak adds up quietly, and the damage to slabs, walls and footings can cost far more than the water itself.
Smart water meters are being rolled out, but older meters keep turning slowly, which makes a small leak easy to miss. Seeing water running down your street, or a soggy patch in the yard that never dries? These are good reasons to book an inspection and get a clear answer.
Meet the pointer
The pointer dog breed is legendary for its scenting ability, sharp focus and its iconic "staunch point", freezing completely when it detects its target. Pointer Leak Detection brings the same instinct to your property, using German engineered Sewerin acoustic equipment to pinpoint the exact source of your leak.
How it works
For homes
From unexplained water bills to damp walls, we find the source quickly and tell you exactly where to fix it. Less mess, less stress and no demolition.
For workshops and sheds
Keep your costs down and your downtime at zero. A hidden leak in a shed or workshop line can quietly burn money for months, so finding it early keeps that money in your business. Pointer Leak Detection work around your schedule so your team keeps working while we do.
Our no find, no fee guarantee
We do not stop scanning until the exact source is found. If we cannot find your leak, our service is completely free.
