Factors that affect leak detection pricing in Sydney
What’s behind it

What moves the price

Beyond the first hour, a few things affect what a job costs.

  • Where the leak is — a shower, a balcony and a pool are different jobs.
  • How hard the area is to access — tiles, slabs and tight cavities take longer.
  • How hidden the source is — a visible drip is quick; a concealed leak needs more.
  • Whether you need a documented report for strata or insurance.
  • After-hours or weekend call-outs for an active leak.
