Find and Fix Hidden Water Leaks

Water leaks can cost homeowners thousands of rands per month in wasted water and hidden property damage. Many leaks occur underground, behind walls, or under concrete—invisible until serious damage appears. Borehole Pros uses advanced leak detection technology to find hidden leaks quickly and accurately, preventing costly damage and water waste.

Our leak detection service uses specialized equipment—acoustic sensors, thermal imaging, and tracer gas—to pinpoint leak locations precisely. Once located, we can repair immediately, saving you water costs and preventing structural damage to your property. Average hidden leaks waste 20,000+ liters monthly.

Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak

Unexpectedly high water bill
Damp patches on floors or walls
Mold or mildew growth
Running water sound when nothing is on
Soft spots in concrete
Dead patches in lawn or garden
Water meter running continuously
Musty or damp odors

If you notice any of these signs, a hidden leak is likely. The sooner you detect it, the less damage occurs. Call us immediately at 060 348 8268 for emergency leak detection.

Our Leak Detection Process

    1. Water Meter Check

    We read your water meter to confirm a leak exists and calculate loss rate.

    2. Visual Inspection

    Look for visible signs—damp patches, soft ground, vegetation changes.

    3. Advanced Detection

    Use acoustic sensors, thermal imaging, or tracer gas to locate exact leak position.

    4. Precise Location

    Mark the leak location precisely on your property.

    5. Repair Planning

    Develop a repair plan and provide cost estimate.

    6. Repair Execution

    Fix the leak with minimal property disruption.

    7. Verification

    Confirm the leak is fixed. Meter reading verification.

Advanced Leak Detection Methods

We use multiple technologies to locate all types of hidden water leaks.

Types of Water Leaks We Find

Underground/Slab Leaks

Water pipes under concrete slabs and underground can leak without visible signs above ground. Often caused by pipe corrosion, ground shifting, or pressure issues.

Detection Method:

Acoustic sensors or tracer gas locate exact position of underground leak.

Wall/In-Pipe Leaks

Leaks within walls are invisible until damage appears. May cause mold, paint peeling, and structural damage. Often in older homes with corroding pipes.

Detection Method:

Thermal imaging detects temperature differences from water flow.

Swimming Pool Leaks

Pools lose water naturally through evaporation, but significant loss indicates a leak. Can occur in structure, plumbing, or around the perimeter.

Detection Method:

Specialized pool leak detection finds cracks and pipe damage.

Roof/Gutter Leaks

Roof and gutter leaks cause water damage to interior walls and attics. Can be difficult to locate as water travels along beams before appearing indoors.

Detection Method:

Visual inspection plus moisture meters identify water damage sources.

Sewage System Leaks

Broken sewage lines cause foul odors, wet ground, and health hazards. Often caused by tree roots or pipe deterioration.

Detection Method:

Camera inspection reveals cracks, roots, and misalignments in sewage pipes.

Borehole/Well Leaks

Underground boreholes can lose pressure and water, indicating leaks in the bore casing or delivery pipes. Reduces borehole efficiency significantly.

Detection Method:

Pressure testing andborehole maintenance checks identify loss points.
