 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a reticulation contractor, we are always looking for reliable plumbers to work with.

We had a client in Burns Beach who noticed water leaking down their driveway while they were overseas on holiday. After seeing it on their CCTV, it became an urgent priority to have it fixed as soon as possible.

We were initially called out, as it was assumed to be an issue with the reticulation system. However, upon inspection, we quickly identified a leak in the copper pipe coming off the water meter.

We contacted Brett from Mindarie Plumbing and Gas and sent through some photos. Brett was able to provide a prompt estimate and arrange a time to attend the property in Burns Beach.

He quickly repaired the leaking copper pipe near the water meter, and upon completion, sent through photos, giving us peace of mind that the issue had been resolved.

Outstanding service from a reliable local plumber. We highly recommend Brett and the team at Mindarie Plumbing and Gas for any plumbing work in Burns Beach and surrounding areas.

Charged us reasonably the whole way through. Didn’t ask for a review which means all of his reviews are organic. Probably the first review I’ve gone out of my way to make which speaks volumes about Brett.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does electronic leak detection actually work?

Electronic leak detection involves using highly sensitive acoustic microphones and electromagnetic wands to listen for the specific frequency of escaping water. When a pressurised pipe develops a crack, the water rushing out creates a distinct vibration that travels along the plumbing line and up through the ground.

Our licensed plumbers use specialised headphones to amplify these underground sounds while filtering out distracting ambient noise like traffic or wind. By carefully sweeping the area and tracking where the high-frequency hissing sound is loudest, we can pinpoint the leak's exact location beneath your property.

Can you find a leak hidden underneath a concrete driveway?

Yes, detecting water faults beneath solid, impermeable surfaces is exactly why we rely on advanced electronic equipment. While standard visual inspections are completely useless for sub-surface leaks, our acoustic sensors are powerful enough to hear water escaping deep beneath thick exposed aggregate or reinforced concrete slabs.

Once we have isolated the loudest point of the underground vibration, we mark the precise spot on the surface. This incredible accuracy allows us to cut a single, small access hole to perform the repair, completely saving the rest of your expensive driveway from unnecessary destruction.

Why is my water bill so high when I haven't changed my usage?

A sudden, massive spike in your quarterly Water Corporation bill is often the very first sign that you have a concealed leak on your property. If an underground pipe leading to your garden reticulation or outdoor taps splits, it can silently hemorrhage thousands of litres of water directly into the sand without ever pooling on the surface.

The easiest way to confirm this is to ensure all your taps and appliances are turned off, then go out to the street and check your water meter. If the small dials on the meter are still actively spinning, you definitely have a hidden leak that requires our immediate electronic detection services.

Will electronic leak detection work for hot water pipes?

Absolutely, our acoustic and electromagnetic sensors are highly effective at locating leaks on both cold and hot water pressurised lines. Because hot water pipes operate under significant pressure, a split or pinhole leak will generate the exact same high-frequency vibration that our electronic equipment is designed to detect.

In cases where a hot water pipe is leaking inside a wall cavity, we will often pair our electronic acoustic listening devices with thermal imaging cameras for a comprehensive diagnostic approach. This combined technology ensures we accurately identify the exact point of failure before we remove any of your interior plasterboard or tiling.

Do you fix the leaking pipe after you find it?

Finding the precise location of the hidden fault is only the first stage of our comprehensive leak resolution service. Once our electronic equipment has marked the spot, we will consult with you on the absolute best, most cost-effective method to access and repair the damaged infrastructure.

We then carefully perform a highly targeted excavation to expose the broken pipe, replacing the degraded section with heavy-duty materials that meet strict Australian Standards. Our experienced team always ensures the new connection is rigorously pressure-tested and your property is left perfectly clean and tidy.
