Hidden leaks are expensive in two ways: the steady water you're paying for that you'll never use, and the damage to ceilings, walls, flooring and foundations that quietly escalates until something visible finally gives way.
Pretoria Elite Plumbers uses acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to locate hidden leaks — under slabs, behind walls, inside roof cavities and along buried supply lines — so the repair can be targeted, not exploratory.

Your municipal water bill has jumped without explanation, you can hear water running with every tap closed, you see damp patches on walls or ceilings, paintwork is bubbling near skirtings, tiles feel warm in one spot on the floor, or your water meter is ticking over with no taps open.
Any one of these is enough reason to investigate before damage spreads or insurance refuses the claim for negligence.
We start with a meter test to confirm whether you are losing water and roughly how much. Then we isolate sections of the supply system to narrow the leak to a zone. Acoustic listening equipment then pinpoints the failure to within centimetres on pressurised lines, and thermal imaging confirms warm-water leaks under tiles and slabs.
The result is a targeted repair — we lift one tile or open one section of ceiling, not the whole room.
We provide a leak-detection report with the location, suspected cause and recommended repair scope, plus before/after photos. This documentation is accepted by all major South African household insurers and complex/HOA managing agents.
