Acoustic leak detection
Helps narrow pressurised leaks where pipework is hidden, buried or hard to access, before the wrong area is opened.
Leak detection Perth
Find the leak. Explain it clearly. Know what comes next.
Hidden leaks create stress because nobody knows what is happening. PFG finds the source, explains the evidence in plain English, reduces unnecessary damage and gives owners, managers and insurers a clear path forward.
Why fast diagnosis matters
The longer it stays unclear, the more expensive it can become.
Water leaks can sit behind walls, under floors, below paving or inside service areas without being obvious at first. By the time stains, swelling, mould or pressure loss appear, the priority is a straight answer before damage spreads.
PFG focuses on finding the source accurately, so decisions can be made with evidence instead of guesses, unnecessary cutting or opening the wrong area.
For strata and commercial sites, leak detection gives managers what they need for occupied buildings: what is affected, what needs immediate action, what evidence supports the finding and what can be reported to owners, tenants, committees or insurers.
For homeowners, the same standard matters. If a leak is hidden, recurring or causing damage, the goal is to locate the source, avoid repeat callouts and make the next step feel obvious.
Leak detection proof
Evidence from real leak investigations.
1 / 5
Evidence before damage
Leaks are stressful until someone can show what is actually happening.
Tracer gas testing
Useful when the leak is difficult to isolate and standard checks do not give a clear enough answer.
Thermal imaging
Temperature differences can help narrow leak paths, hot water faults and moisture-affected areas.
Moisture testing
Moisture readings help map affected areas, support documentation and guide repair decisions.
Warning signs
Small clues can become expensive when nobody finds the cause.
Unexplained water use
Higher bills, meter movement or pressure changes can point to a hidden leak that needs proof, not assumptions.
Damp, swelling or stains
Walls, floors, skirting, ceilings and cabinetry can show signs before the source is visible.
Mould or musty smells
Moisture trapped in building materials can create smells or mould growth around the affected area.
Hot spots or warm flooring
Hot water leaks can appear as temperature changes before the pipework is exposed.
Common leak situations
Hidden leaks, water damage and pressure loss need a clear answer.
Strata water ingress
Leaks affecting apartments, common areas, ceiling spaces, walls or neighbouring tenancies, where access, occupants and reporting all matter.
Commercial site leaks
Faults that affect trading, access, plant rooms, amenities, offices or service areas where downtime and disruption carry real cost.
High water bills
Unexplained usage spikes where the leak may be hidden underground, under paving or inside walls, with Water Corporation leak allowance paperwork support where applicable.
Hot water leaks
Leaks connected to hot water pipework, plant, valves or systems where occupants need answers quickly.
Residential hidden leaks
Premium residential leak detection for water stains, mould, damp flooring, low pressure or unexplained water movement where the homeowner wants the issue found properly.
Repeat leak symptoms
Issues that have been patched before but keep returning because the cause was not identified.
How leak detection runs
Find the fault, explain the evidence and make the next step clear.
Understand the symptoms.
PFG checks what has been noticed, where water is showing, who is affected and how urgent the issue is.
Narrow down the source.
Testing is used where appropriate to build evidence and reduce guesswork before repair work starts.
Explain what happens next.
You get a plain explanation of what was found. If access, parts and scope allow, PFG can move straight into the repair.
Less unnecessary damage
Accurate detection helps avoid opening the wrong area.
The goal is to narrow the fault before repair work starts. That matters for homes, strata buildings and commercial sites where unnecessary demolition, excavation or repeat repair work creates more cost, more approvals and more stress.
- Minimal invasive investigation where possible
- Clear fault location before repair decisions
- Find-and-fix approach where access and scope allow
- Premium residential diagnostics for homes that need a clear answer
- Photos and notes for strata teams, coordinators, owners or insurers
- Water Corporation leak allowance paperwork support where applicable
- Repair pathway explained in plain language
For strata & commercial clients
Clear findings for buildings with moving parts.
Leak detection helps strata managers, facility managers and site contacts understand what is happening, what is affected, what evidence supports the finding and what repair action makes sense next, without leaving committees, tenants or insurers waiting on guesswork.

FAQ
Questions people ask when they need certainty.
Can you find leaks without cutting into walls or floors?
Often, the first step is non-invasive testing to narrow down the source. Some repairs may still require access, but careful detection helps avoid unnecessary cutting, demolition or excavation.
What leak detection methods do you use?
PFG can use acoustic leak detection, tracer gas, thermal imaging and moisture testing depending on the symptoms and site conditions. The method matters less than getting clear findings.
Do you handle strata and commercial leaks?
Yes. Leak detection is especially useful for managed properties where water movement, tenant impact, access, insurance questions and repair approval need clear information.
Can you help with high water bills?
Yes. Unexplained water use can point to hidden leaks underground, under paving or inside the building. Detection helps narrow the fault before unnecessary repair work starts.
Do you repair the leak after finding it?
Where possible, yes. PFG aims to find and fix in the same visit when access, parts and repair scope allow. If the repair needs further work, you get a clear next step.
Do you provide notes or photos?
Clean notes and photos help strata teams, maintenance coordinators, owners, insurers and property managers understand what was found and what happens next.
Can you help with Water Corporation leak allowance forms?
Yes. Where applicable, PFG can help with the plumber details needed for Water Corporation leak allowance paperwork after the leak has been repaired. Approval is assessed by Water Corporation.
Do you help homeowners with difficult leaks?
Yes. Premium residential leak work is suited to hidden, disruptive or recurring issues that need diagnosis before repair work starts.
