A HIDDEN LEAK IS WORSE THAN A BURST PIPE

Burst pipes announce themselves. Hidden leaks don’t. A pinhole in a copper pipe behind the kitchen wall can drip for months — soaking insulation, rotting floor joists, growing mould — before anything visible appears. By the time you see the ceiling stain, the structural damage underneath is usually significant.

EcoGas’s leak detection service exists to find the leak before it finds you. We use professional thermal imaging cameras, acoustic listening equipment and tracer gas to pinpoint the exact source — no smashing through walls, no guessing, no destructive investigation.

SIGNS YOU HAVE A HIDDEN LEAK

Any of these together usually means water is escaping somewhere it shouldn’t

HIGHER WATER BILL

Bill higher than the same quarter last year for no obvious reason — water is being used somewhere you can't see.

METER TICKING OVER

Water meter still moving when every tap and appliance is off, even slowly.

DAMP & PEELING

Damp patches, peeling paint, or bubbling plaster on walls or ceilings — fresh moisture present.

MUSTY SMELL

Lingering musty smell in a specific room that doesn't go away with ventilation.

MOULD GROWTH

Mould appearing in corners or behind furniture in spots that used to be dry.

WARM FLOOR PATCH

Warm spot on a floor or wall — usually a hot water pipe or central heating pipe leaking.

ECOGAS'S NON-INVASIVE LEAK DETECTION PROCESS

LAYERED DETECTION

Three layers of detection, each more precise than the last. We use the right tool for the type of leak, not whatever we own.

TARGETED REPAIR

Once located, the repair is straightforward — small targeted access, the failed pipe section replaced, full pressure test before the wall or floor goes back.

WHAT PERTH SAYS AFTER WE'VE FOUND THEIR LEAK

Janet K. — Perth

Our water bill doubled and we couldn't see why. EcoGas came out, walked round with a thermal camera, and within twenty minutes had identified a hot water pipe leaking under our hallway floor. Tiny pinhole, no visible damage. Tiny cut in the floor, pipe section replaced, problem solved.

Ravi M. — Perth

Damp patch on the bedroom ceiling that had appeared for no reason. EcoGas traced it to a pinhole in a heating pipe two rooms away — water had been tracking along the joist before dropping through. Without thermal imaging we'd never have found it.

Pauline S. — Perth

Convinced we had a leak somewhere because the boiler kept losing pressure. EcoGas pressure-tested the system, isolated each section, found a slow weep on a soldered joint in the airing cupboard. Fixed in 20 minutes. Boiler's been steady ever since.

Henry W. — Perth

Underfloor heating losing pressure constantly. EcoGas found the leak point using thermal imaging — no need to lift the screed across the whole room. Small targeted repair, system back to full pressure, no expensive flooring damage.

LEAK DETECTION FAQS

HOW ACCURATE IS YOUR LEAK DETECTION?
Typically accurate to within 30cm of the actual leak source — usually close enough that any wall or floor access is a small targeted opening, not destructive demolition. For most leaks we pinpoint the source within the first hour on site.
Yes, for safety and to authorise any work that follows. The detection itself usually takes 60–90 minutes for an average Perth home. If we proceed straight to repair on the same visit, expect to allow another 1–2 hours depending on the location of the leak.
Most home insurance policies cover ‘trace and access’ — the cost of finding the leak — as a separate item from the resulting damage. We provide insurance-format invoices with itemised costs and photographic evidence of the leak to make claims straightforward. We’ve yet to have a Perth customer’s insurer refuse a properly documented claim.
Yes — thermal imaging is particularly effective on underfloor heating because the system runs warm. Any leak shows as a distinctive thermal pattern at the surface, which means we can pinpoint the failure without lifting tiles or screed across the whole room.
It hasn’t happened yet — but if our equipment can’t locate the source within the survey window, you don’t pay for the detection. We refund the visit in full. We’re confident enough in the technology that we offer this guarantee on every leak detection booking.
Yes — central heating pinhole leaks are one of the most common jobs we get called for. The system being pressurised and warm actually makes detection easier with thermal imaging. We can locate and repair the failed section, then test the system at full pressure before signing off.
