Trace it first, guess never
Water where it shouldn't be is a diagnosis problem before it is a repair problem, and guessing costs brick homes on big blocks dearly. See everything we do at Dural, or call for a plumber who finds the fault properly.
What leaks look like on one-to-five-acre blocks
A missed leak here rarely announces itself at the kitchen sink. Long supply runs, distant meters at the front gate and houses set well back from the road mean water can escape for weeks along a garden line or under a slab before anyone notices.
By then, the bill or the mould has done the talking. Reactive shale soils that swell and shift make buried joints work harder too, so a weep that would stay minor on sandy coastal ground can open up quickly in hills clay.
Core leak detection services: pinpointing the source before a single tile, paver or post is disturbed
Acoustic and thermal tracing. Sensitive listening equipment hears water escaping inside walls, under slabs and along buried lines, so the opening we make sits exactly over the fault rather than a metre beside it on your acreage.
Pressure isolation testing. We close the system section by section until the pressure drop reveals which run is losing water, separating hot, cold and garden lines across distances that defeat standard suburban diagnosis.
Camera and line locating. Cameras travel the pipe and transmitters mark the route above ground, mapping buried runs between house, street and tank so digging, when needed, happens once and in the right place.
Repair and reinstatement. Once the fault is proven, the same crew completes the fix, from a re-soldered joint to a relined section, and pressure tests everything before the site is left tidy and watertight.

Reactive clay, long runs and the faults they hide
Orchard-era plantings and tall gums push roots toward any moisture along buried lines off Quarry Road and the quieter side streets, and a hairline joint weep becomes a root magnet.
Three hiding places dominate. Add 1970s-to-90s brick construction where copper runs chased inside walls have simply aged, and the suburb's most common leaks sit under slabs along ageing hot water lines, at garden taps and irrigation tees far from the house, and inside wall cavities behind second and third bathrooms where a burst flexi hose can soak insulation for hours unnoticed.

How it works
Our leak detection process
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0520 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.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Locate, prove and repair
We trace the system using acoustic gear, pressure testing and cameras until the fault is proven, show you the finding, and carry out the agreed repair with matched parts, testing the line under pressure before reinstating surfaces.
- 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 Dural
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 Dural 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.
Detection work pairs naturally with our burst pipes response when a fault has already let go, and with maintenance plumbing for households who'd rather catch weak joints before they fail. Every tracing job routes back to the full trade range on our plumbing hub.
Where we work
Areas we service beyond the suburb
Along with the suburb itself, leak detection covers Westleigh, Cherrybrook, Glenhaven, Galston and Hornsby, and the semi-rural acreage that runs between them, where long private supply lines, dams and distant meters make precise tracing worth more than guesswork every time.
Good questions, straight answers
Leak detection questions Dural locals ask
How do you find a leak hidden inside a wall or under a slab?
We combine acoustic listening gear, moisture mapping and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak precisely, which means the smallest practical opening in your wall, floor or garden rather than exploratory demolition.
What does leak detection cost on an acreage property?
The call out is $0 and you receive a fixed written price covering the complete detection and repair before any work starts, so the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
Can you trace leaks on long private water and drainage runs?
Yes, and long runs between house and street or tank are routine here, so we carry enough tracing cable, camera reach and listening equipment to cover distances shorter suburban gear simply cannot.
Will finding the leak mean digging up my driveway or garden?
Usually not, because acoustic and camera locating lets us open only the small section where the fault actually sits, and pipe relining can often repair underground runs without excavation at all.
How long does leak detection take?
Most straightforward leaks are located within a single visit, while complex faults on long rural runs or behind multiple bathroom walls can take longer, and we tell you the realistic time frame upfront.
Do you repair the leak once you have found it?
Yes, detection and repair are handled by the same licensed crew in the one job, with the fix priced and approved before it begins and everything tested under pressure afterwards.
