If you’ve received an unusually high water bill or noticed that your meter is still running when the taps are off, you may have a burst water pipe hidden somewhere in your property.
While fixing a water leak is relatively easy, finding a broken pipe within your plumbing system can be a difficult job.
The plumbers at Tunnel Vision provide leak detection in Perth using state-of-the-art acoustic leak detection technology. This equipment is used by plumbing professionals to quickly and accurately detect water leaks in your walls, floor or ceiling.

How Does Acoustic Leak Detection Work?
Finding the source of a leak isn’t always easy, and hard surfaces such as paved driveways can compound the problem.
Acoustic leak detection uses sophisticated, purpose-built industrial microphones to detect the vibrations a burst pipe creates. These vibrations travel along the pipe's length and can be followed to the source of the leak.
Before leak detection technology, plumbers had to tear out large sections of floors or walls to find a leak.
Using acoustic leak detection, the team at Tunnel Vision can find the location of a leak without any unnecessary damage. Once the location of the water leak has been found, our licensed plumbers can get to work repairing it, saving you time and money.
How to Check for A Water Leak
If you think you may have a burst pipe or water leak, you can check this using the following steps:
The faster the numbers on your meter move, the larger your water leak is likely to be. However, even smaller leaks can still cause concern, as they can contribute to structural damage and increased utility costs.
If your meter is not recording a leak but you are noticing other signs of a leak, such as dampness, water damage, water stains and a hissing noise coming from pipes, contact the team at Tunnel Vision for professional advice with no obligation.
How to Fix a Water Leak
Burst pipes and water leaks can cause water to flow under critical structural elements of your property, leading to expensive damage and repairs.
A consistent leak can also damage paint, plaster, and flooring inside your property. Water leaks of all sizes should be detected and repaired regularly to reduce the risk of these larger problems developing.
At Tunnel Vision, our acoustic leak detection equipment lets us easily detect and repair burst pipes and water leaks. This equipment includes a ground microphone for hard surfaces and paving and a universal mic for leak detection within a property, such as in floors, walls or ceilings.
Once detected, our skilled plumbers can recommend the best course of action for repairing the issue. In most cases, you’ll benefit from our wide range of plumbing technology, including trenchless pipe relining.
These innovations will allow us to fix your unique plumbing problem quickly and cost-effectively, often without the need to dig.
