Leak detection and repairs
- Friendly and professional advice
Finding the leak is half the job
A rising water bill, a damp patch on the ceiling, a stain on the wall that wasn’t there last month — leaks create anxiety because you often can’t see where they’re coming from.
Taro Flow approaches every leak investigation methodically. We start with a thorough visual inspection and pressure testing to identify the obvious causes first. If the leak is concealed and can’t be located through standard methods, we coordinate specialist detection equipment rather than opening up walls and floors speculatively. That keeps disruption and damage to a minimum and means any repair work that follows is targeted and efficient.
Once the source is found, we fix it. Full repair service on all identified leaks, with upfront pricing before any work begins.

What we cover
Leak investigation and pressure testing
Visual inspection and pressure testing to identify common leak sources before anything is opened up.
Concealed leak detection
For leaks inside walls, under slabs, or in ceiling spaces that can’t be located through standard methods, we coordinate specialist detection to find the source with minimal disruption.
Tap, toilet, and flexi hose leaks
The most common household leak sources — identified and repaired efficiently.
Pipe repairs and replacements
Damaged, corroded, or failing pipes repaired or replaced once the source is confirmed.
Meter-to-property supply line leaks
Leaks between the water meter and the property — often underground and only visible through a rising water bill.
Ceiling and wall leaks
Not sure what type of gas fitting solution you need?
Every recommendation is based on what’s right for your property and your household, not what’s easiest to fit or fastest to source. If you’re not sure what you need, that’s fine — an honest assessment is always the starting point.

Perth's water is hard on pipework
Perth’s water quality is among the hardest in Australia. The high mineral content accelerates corrosion in copper pipes and deterioration in older plastic pipework, meaning leaks that might take decades to develop elsewhere can appear sooner here.
The most common leak types we see in Perth homes:
- Copper pipe pitting corrosion: Perth’s water chemistry accelerates internal corrosion in copper pipes, causing pinhole leaks that can go undetected inside walls and ceilings for months before any visible damage appears.
- Failing plastic pipework: Older plastic pipe systems degrade and crack over time, particularly in properties that haven’t had a plumbing inspection in years.
- Concealed supply line leaks: Leaks inside walls, under slabs, or in ceiling spaces that only become visible through water damage or a rising water bill.
- Ceiling leaks: Often traced back to bathroom or laundry areas above, or failing roof plumbing connections.
- Flexi hose failures: A sudden burst under a sink or behind a toilet can cause significant water damage very quickly. Flexi hoses have a recommended replacement interval, and most homeowners have never had theirs checked.
Wet patches near the sewer line are often a drainage problem, not a supply leak. Our CCTV drain inspections find cracks and root intrusion without digging.
