Leak Detection and Leak Repairs

A damp patch on a wall, a warm spot on the floor, a water bill that keeps climbing — hidden leaks waste water and quietly damage your property. Plumbalot traces hidden leaks across Roodepoort, Honeydew and Weltevreden Park and repairs them at the source.

Finding the leak, not guessing

We work methodically: isolating sections, checking the pressure behaviour of the line and tracing the visible signs to the pipe route. That means the smallest practical opening up, and a repair aimed at the actual leak rather than the nearest convenient pipe.

Signs of a hidden leak

Watch for damp or discoloured walls and ceilings, mould in unexpected places, a hot water cylinder that runs cold quickly, the sound of running water with everything switched off, or a municipal water bill that rises without a change in usage. Any of these is worth investigating early.

What's included

  • Tracing of hidden water leaks
  • Hot water line leak checks
  • Repairs to the leaking section
  • Pressure testing after the repair
  • Guidance on monitoring for future leaks

Questions

How do I know if the leak is mine or the municipality's?

Close all taps and watch your water meter — if it still turns, the leak is on your side of the meter. We can help you confirm this and then find it.

The damp patch is far from any plumbing I know of.

Pipes rarely run the shortest route, and slab leaks travel along the underside before they show. We trace the actual pipe routes rather than assuming from the damp patch alone.

Available in Roodepoort, Honeydew, Weltevreden Park and surrounding areas.
