Leaking shower repairs
Showers leaking into the next room or the ceiling below, fixed without lifting the tiles.
Shower and balcony leak detection Sydney Hidden leak? We'll trace it to the source.
Hidden leaks do the most damage. Water rarely shows up where it gets in, so we trace shower, balcony and flat roof leaks back to the source before we quote, and you only pay to fix what's actually leaking.

Hidden leaks cause the most damage
A leak behind tiles or under a balcony can soak the floor framing, swell joinery and stain the ceiling below for months before you see water. By the time a damp patch appears, the water has often travelled a long way from where it got in. That's why we find the source first, and why guessing at it costs more in the end.

Leaking into the unit below?
In apartments, working out whose shower or balcony is leaking is half the job. We inspect the area above and give a written quote that owners and strata managers can act on. Read what to do when a shower is leaking into the unit below, or see our strata leak repairs.
What we don't do
We find and fix leaks in tiled and waterproofed areas. We don't find or repair leaking pipes in walls or floors, taps, valves, hot water systems, water mains or underground pipes. That's plumbing work. If the inspection points to one of these, we'll tell you.
Leak detection questions
Can you find a leak behind shower tiles?
Usually, yes, without lifting a tile. The grout, silicone, waste and hob tell us a lot, and so does when and where the water shows up.
Is the leak inspection free?
Yes. We find where the water is getting in and give you a written quote to fix it. There's no charge for the inspection.
Can you tell if it's the shower or a pipe?
Usually. A leak that only appears after showers points to the shower; one that appears with nothing running points to a pipe. If it's a pipe, tap or valve, we'll tell you so you can call a plumber.
Will my insurance cover it?
Policies vary, so check yours. Many cover the resulting damage but not the repair of the shower or balcony itself. We'll give you a written quote you can pass on to your insurer.
Do you fix the leak as well?
Yes. Once we've found the source, we quote to fix it. Most shower leaks are fixed in one visit without removing tiles.
Do you find leaks in water pipes or mains?
No. Burst or leaking pipes in walls, under floors or underground are plumbing work. If your water bill has jumped or the meter runs with everything off, call a plumber first.
Can you issue a compliance certificate?
Yes. We can issue a compliance certificate for our waterproofing work. Just ask at the inspection.
