Prevention
In order to provide you with the most innovative, stream-lined, up-to-date and competitive service, Leak Detection WA now offers preventative solutions. Our team continually strives to make your life easier. With over 15 years’ experience in the industry, we have been doing more than just fixing leaks. Behind the scenes we have been researching and assessing the market, collecting data, and looking for ways to reduce future stress for both commercial and residential clients. Think of us as your one-stop shop, providing holistic and environmentally friendly solutions, tackling the issue from all angles, not just one. Considering the majority of leaks stem from the natural wear and tear that occurs over years in pipework, here’s an example of five preventative solutions – trialled and tested, resulting in exceptional outcomes.
It is not unusual for some of our clients to contact us in despair and distress, reporting a history or recurring leaks and repairs. For example, Jim in South Perth tells us that he has experienced a leak issue, had it found and repaired, only to notice weeks later, a leak further down the line in a different area. We don’t just look at the presenting issue, we look at the bigger picture and with our expert assessment, we provide you expert advise, giving you information and options along the way to troubleshoot the issue from all angles, and to provide a solution that best suits you, your budget, and your needs.
How we work
Find
We use acoustic detection, gas sniffers, and pressure testing to pinpoint gas leaks accurately — whether indoors, outdoors, or underground.
Fix
If we can resolve the issue during the visit, our licensed gas fitters will take care of it on the spot. Otherwise, we’ll give you a quote and lock in a time to return.
Prevent
We can recommend upgrades to old systems, pressure regulation, or inspection plans for high-use or high-risk properties like rentals, short stays, or commercial facilities.
WA Leak Detection re-piping
When it comes to piping, is it natural for the material used (such as copper) to experience wear and tear over time. Think of piping as a repair and a preventative solution. We will talk you through the various piping materials and whether for example Auspex or Copper is best suited to you. At Leak Detection WA, the majority of our pipework is done using Australian made Auspex. It can reduce building’s total energy consumption over their lifespan by offering lower process energy requirements and more efficient installation with fewer fittings. It’s environmental impact is also lower than other materials due to its less-energy intensive manufacturing. Whether it’s copper you’re after, Auspex, or something else, when it comes to re-piping repair and preventative issues, we will work as a team and take into account your unique needs, to come up with the best salutation for you and/or your company and business.
WA Leak Detection shut off systems
Have you ever worried about going away on holidays and coming home to a flooded home or garden? This is unfortunately the reality of some of the leak issues we have experienced over the years. We have even experienced clients going to bed at night, only to wake up to the damage caused by a leaking or burst pipe. Installing shut off systems is now a method we use to reduce the damage and overall anxiety caused by leaks. A shut off system attaches to your water metre and monitors the levels of water running through your pipework. If for example a pipe bursts, the monitoring system will shut off the flow of water to your residential or commercial setting, consequently completely eliminating the damage that can be caused. Think of the insurance claim, and how this method can save you both time and money.
WA Leak Detection teams up with whole home filtration system
A whole home water filtration system does more than just increase your levels of health and well-being. The water that flows through your pipework and comes out in your bathroom, laundry, and drinking taps is filled with chlorine and by-products including a range of heavy metals and contaminants. It is detrimental to both your health and the longevity of your residential and commercial pipework – increasing the likelihood of burst pipes, home flooding, malfunctioning fire-systems and a significantly increased water bill! At Leak Detection WA, we have collaborated with Australia’s trusted and major Award winning water filtration company in order to reduce your headache – physically and psychologically. Installing a filtration system to your home or commercial property, is a method we now use to prevent leak issues. For more information, visit www.completehomefiltration.com.au
Some practical benefits of a quality filtration system include reducing corrosion, sediment, and mineral buildup on pipes and taps, as well as protecting appliances from leaks, scale, and premature wear – all of which help extend the overall lifespan of your plumbing system. You’ll notice fewer issues, cleaner fixtures, and less maintenance over time.
A good home filtration system also supports better health and a cleaner environment by reducing organic particles, chlorine, and limescale, giving you fresher, gentler water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. You’ll rely less on bottled water, which helps you cut down on plastic waste and lower your carbon footprint.
Benefits of Whole Home Water Filtration
Installing a whole home water filtration system delivers practical, health, and environmental benefits that extend well beyond drinking water alone.
From a practical perspective, filtered water is significantly less corrosive on pipes and fittings. By reducing chlorine, limescale, and other contaminants, filtration systems help minimise internal pipe degradation, reduce scale build-up on taps and shower screens, and lower the likelihood of leaks and burst pipes over time. This leads to fewer plumbing issues, longer pipe life, and reduced maintenance costs.
There are also clear health benefits. Whole home filtration reduces organic particles, chlorine, and limescale throughout the entire property, meaning cleaner water is delivered to every tap, shower, and appliance — not just the kitchen sink.
Environmentally, filtration systems reduce reliance on bottled water, helping to lower plastic waste and your overall carbon footprint. It’s a preventative solution that supports both the longevity of your plumbing system and a more sustainable household or commercial operation.

Testimonials
Fred in Hamilton Hill received a water bill four x larger than his normal bill. Once he did a water metre test, could see that his water metre was spinning really fast, even though he had gone and checked everything inside and outside the house. With nothing to go off, he engaged us to come through, and we used our equipment to pin-point the leak location. And it was found to be underneath his driveway. So we then put forward a quote to get the repair done. On his approval, the very next day we had repeated the repair, and provided a report with the quality of pipework and potential risk going forward.
