Leak Detection for Water & Gas Leaks in Shepparton
Specialists in Acoustic & Tracer Gas Leak Detection
At Husky Gas & Plumbing, we specialise in finding hidden water and gas leaks in homes and commercial properties across Shepparton, nearby towns and the wider Central Victoria region.
Using non-destructive methods, we can locate leaks without random digging or cutting concrete, often saving you significant time, mess and repair costs.
We use high-end German Sewerin acoustic and tracer gas equipment, paired with an Australian-designed leak detection manifold, to safely charge and test pipelines and pinpoint the leak location accurately.
If you suspect a leak in a pressurised pipe and don’t know where it is, we’re here to help.
How Our Leak Detection Service Works
Depending on the situation, we use a combination of acoustic leak detection, tracer gas, CCTV cameras and pipe locating to find leaks accurately. This lets us confirm if there is a leak, where it is and how bad it is before any repair work starts.
We can assist with:
Acoustic leak detection – using sensitive microphones to listen for leaks in pressurised water pipes.
Tracer gas leak detection – safely charging pipework with tracer gas to detect tiny leaks that don’t show up any other way.
Pipe locating – finding where pipes run underground or in walls and ceilings so we know exactly where to access them.
CCTV inspections – sending cameras through drains to see what’s happening inside and confirm the condition of the pipework.
Types of Leaks We Can Help With
We focus on locating leaks so repairs can be targeted and cost-effective.
Suspected water leaks in concealed pipework (in walls, ceilings or under slabs).
Gas leaks on residential and small commercial gas lines.
Remote or hard-to-access leaks where traditional methods would mean lots of cutting or digging.
Recurring leaks where previous repairs haven’t fixed the underlying issue.
Leak Detection FAQs
Higher than normal water bills, damp spots, mould.
Hissing or running water sounds, or hot floors can all be signs of a hidden leak.
If it’s safe to leave it on, that can sometimes help us detect the leak.
If there’s a clear safety risk or major leak, turn it off at the meter if you can and we’ll advise you over the phone.
Our main role to start with is leak detection – accurately locating the leak and confirming what’s going on.
In many cases we can also carry out the repairs or organise a separate repair quote, depending on the type and location of the leak.
Yes. We can provide information on what we’ve found, including location and likely cause, to support your discussion with your insurer or landlord.
Not with our electronic leak detection equipment – it relies on pressurising the system, which we can’t do on stormwater or waste pipes.
However, we can still help by carrying out a general plumbing inspection. A trained eye, testing, and checking access points can often pinpoint where the issue is coming from and what needs to be done next.
