Hidden leak in your Henderson home? Old plumbing hides leaks behind walls for months. We find them fast and fix them before they cause serious damage.
Call Now — We'll Sort It 0800 322 322Henderson has a wide mix of housing — older state homes, 1970s–80s brick and tile, and newer townhouse developments. After the 2023 floods, many Henderson properties also have plumbing that took a hit from water damage, ground movement, and sediment contamination. Leaks can develop months or years later as weakened joints and corroded pipes finally give way.
Properties around Lincoln Road, Henderson Valley Road, and the streets near Opanuku Stream are particularly prone to underground and slab leaks. Clay soils shift, tree roots invade, and aging infrastructure does the rest. Even newer builds can develop leaks from poor workmanship or settling.
We approach leak detection in Henderson methodically. Pressure test, isolate, locate, and fix — with minimal disruption to your home. Find it, fix it, move on.
Unexplained high water bill — the #1 sign of a hidden leak in Henderson homes.
Damp patches on walls or ceilings — moisture appearing where it should not be. Common in villas with lath and plaster.
Sound of running water — when everything is turned off, you should not hear water flowing.
Musty smell or mould — persistent dampness behind villa walls breeds mould you can smell before you see it.
Drop in water pressure — a leak in the supply line reduces pressure to the rest of the house.
Wet patches in the garden — a soggy area in the lawn or path that never dries, even in summer.
Leak detection is part science, part experience. Here is how we approach it:
Most leaks are found and fixed in a single visit. For complex underground or slab leaks, we may recommend rerouting the pipe above ground rather than digging up concrete — it is often faster, cheaper, and avoids the same problem recurring.
We use a combination of pressure testing, visual inspection, and targeted investigation to locate leaks accurately without unnecessary damage to your home.
We charge a fixed callout fee to attend, investigate, and locate the leak. The repair cost depends on what we find. We will always tell you the cost before we start any repair work. Call 0800 322 322 for a quote.
