Frequently asked questions

Straightforward answers on pricing, methods, response times and our No Find, No Fee guarantee.

How much does leak detection cost in Pretoria?
Residential water leak detection is R1,850 flat across Pretoria and greater Gauteng. Pool leak detection is R2,150 and includes testing of a single-pump system. Commercial and specialised jobs are scoped individually — request a custom quote.
How do you find a leak without breaking walls or digging up the garden?
Every method we use is non-invasive by design — acoustic listening, tracer gas correlation, thermal imaging, moisture readings, and pressure testing. We only cut or dig once the leak is pin-pointed, so make-good is minimal. Read more on underground detection methods.
What tests do you use to detect water leaks?
Depending on the property we combine acoustic ground microphones, tracer gas (hydrogen/nitrogen mix), thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and pressure testing kits. Each callout uses at least two methods to cross-verify the finding — that's what makes the No Find, No Fee guarantee possible.
How long does pool leak detection take?
Most single-pump pools resolve within a standard site visit. The scope covers the shell, skimmer, main drain, return lines and pump/filter room. Multi-pump or feature-heavy pools (jacuzzis, water features) may take longer — we quote for that upfront on the pool detection page.
Do you offer emergency same-day leak detection?
Yes. We run 24/7 emergency callouts across Pretoria, Centurion, Sandton, Midrand and greater Gauteng. Phone or WhatsApp 072 899 3159 and we'll dispatch the closest available team.
What happens if you don't find the leak?
You don't pay. Our No Find, No Fee guarantee means if we can't confirm the leak using at least two independent detection methods on the visit, the callout is free.
What accreditations do you carry?
We're NSPI members (National Spa & Pool Institute, GP-SP-2026) and IPA-registered (Damon Pheiffer, Reg #847). Full membership numbers and certificates are on the accreditations page.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
Ideally yes, so we can walk the property with you, ask about symptom history and hand over the report in person. If you can't be there, arrange access with a trusted third party and we'll send the report by email.
How soon can I get the report?
The photographic report is delivered by email within 24 hours of the site visit. For urgent claims we can produce it the same afternoon — just flag it at booking.
Do you provide reports for insurance claims?
Every leak detection callout produces an insurance-approved photographic report — pin-drop findings, method notes, moisture readings and site photos. Insurers we've dealt with over the years accept our reports without additional inspections.

Our guarantee

No Find, No Fee — on confirmed leaks.

We only charge when there is a confirmed leak to find. If we confirm a leak by meter test or pool pressure test, and our technicians cannot locate its source using our full range of detection equipment, you receive a full refund. No time limit.
