A real person answers, day or night
Get a suspected leak found properly
Call (02) 9072 0513 and describe what's been noticed, a rising bill, damp patches, or a sound of running water with nothing obviously on.
Leak's already visible and obvious? Skip straight to residential plumbing for the repair itself.
How it works
Signs worth a leak detection call
- 01
Usage on the water account trending upward with nothing to explain it
Often the only clue for weeks or even months.
- 02
A recurring damp patch showing up on plaster, paint or flooring
Won't genuinely go away until the actual source is found.
- 03
The sound of running water when every tap's off
Worth investigating rather than dismissing.
- 04
A patch of unusually green or soggy lawn
Can point to a leak in an underground supply line.
How it works
How a leak actually gets found
Acoustic detection equipment listens for the specific sound water makes escaping under pressure. It narrows the search area considerably before anything's opened up.
Thermal imaging picks up temperature differences caused by water where it shouldn't be. Combined with acoustic detection, it usually confirms exactly where the fault sits without any exploratory digging or wall-cutting.

Why older pipework complicates things slightly
Corrosion inside ageing galvanised supply pipe on streets like Manchester Road can distort the sound a leak makes, and mineral scaling can mask a temperature signature that would otherwise be obvious. It doesn't make a leak undetectable.
It just means the equipment and the person reading it both need to account for what an older cottage's original pipework typically does over decades underground.
How it works
The process, start to finish
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0513 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.

- 03
Located, then confirmed
The leak's pinpointed with proper equipment before any repair work is even discussed.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Gymea
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Gymea works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Leak detection runs to the same standard across Gymea Bay, Miranda, Kirrawee, Sutherland and Grays Point.

Good questions, straight answers
Leak detection questions locals ask
Water bill's crept up steadily with nothing obviously wrong around the house, is that worth a leak detection call?
Definitely, an account that keeps climbing with nothing obvious to blame is a strong pointer toward something leaking out of sight, and getting it located properly is exactly what this service exists for.
Does finding a leak always mean digging up the yard or cutting into a wall?
Rarely, acoustic and thermal detection gear usually pinpoints a leak's location without needing to open anything up on spec.
Original galvanised supply pipe under a Gymea cottage, is that harder to trace a leak in than modern copper or PEX?
A little, corrosion inside galvanised pipe can mask exactly where a leak's sitting, though the same detection approach still works, it just takes a bit more care.
Suspected leak somewhere inside a shared wall in a townhouse near the station, does that need owners corporation involvement?
Only if it turns out to sit in common property, and once the actual source is confirmed, dealing directly with an owners corporation is straightforward.
