Fixing the Pipe Once the Leak Is Found
Can you hear water running behind the plaster, or see damp, but can't reach the pipe? Our licensed team marks the leak first, then repairs the pipe through one small opening at that spot.
Water Leak Repair Services
A water leak repair follows where the pipe leak sits, in a slab, hose, copper line or service line:
-
Slab Leak Repairs
Get a quoteOur slab leak repair fixes a water line leaking inside a concrete slab by rerouting it through the roof or walls, or cutting into the slab at the marked spot.
-
Flexi Hose Replacement
Get a quoteSuncorp tied one in ten of its 2025 home insurance claims to flexi hoses, braided hoses joining supply to taps. Our flexi hose replacement swaps worn hoses before they fail.
-
Copper Pinhole Leaks
Get a quoteWhen a copper water pipe gets a pinhole, water starts leaking inside a wall or ceiling. Our copper pipe leak repair removes the pinholed length and joins in new pipe.
-
Water Service Line Repairs
Get a quoteSydney Water often repairs the service line free up to one metre inside the boundary. Our water main repair covers the owner's line from that point through to the house.
Why Is My Water Pipe Leaking
Water pipes leak from high pressure, rusted or kinked connectors, damage near the meter, or worn and loose joints:
-
Pressure Above the Average
Sydney Water says most properties on its network get between 15 and 65 metres head, the height that pressure lifts water. Water pressure that runs too high can break pipes.
-
Rust, Twists and Kinks
When Suncorp traced failed flexi hoses back to the cause, it found rust and corrosion, or a hose left twisted or kinked when it was first fitted to the tap.
-
Damage Near the Meter
A car, a lawnmower or vandals can damage the meter tap and the pipe beside it. Sydney Water can then charge the owner extra to repair that kind of damage.
-
Worn or Loose Joints
Once a joint or fitting works loose or wears down, the connection starts to leak. Our repair puts a new fitting on the worn joint, which stops the water escaping.
How Much Does Leaking Pipe Repair Cost
We price each leaking pipe repair in a written quote, by where the pipe runs and how much needs replacing:
- Access: An opening comes first for a pipe in a slab, a wall or underground, while one under a cupboard sits in reach. The quote prices that access work up front.
- Repair size: A pipe leak repair ranges from a new fitting on one joint to a damaged length cut out and replaced. The marked spot shows that scope before we quote.
- Our pricing: A $0 call-out fee covers every visit from We Find It Leak Detection. Each written quote is agreed before work starts, with fair, upfront pricing, no surprises.
Why the Right Pipe Repair Matters
A repair matched to the marked leak keeps the opening small and the rest of the line in service:
-
Spot Repair or Replace the Run
Spot repair means repairing the leaking section, which suits one failed joint or a short damaged length. A line leaking in new spots calls for replacing the whole pipe run.
-
Repairs to the Current Standard
When a plumber repairs an existing water service, the work falls under AS/NZS 3500.1:2025, the water services standard. Standards Australia applies it to repairs as well as to new work.
-
Bill Credit After the Repair
Sydney Water's hidden leak allowance credits the worst-hit billing quarter with 50% of the water usage charge, once a licensed plumber or qualified technician repairs the hidden leak on site.
Our Process
Our leaking pipe repair follows six steps, from a meter check through to a retest of the repaired line:
-
Confirm the Leak on the Meter
We read the water meter with every tap off, then read it again after at least an hour. A moving dial confirms that water is escaping before any search starts.
-
Pinpoint the Spot
When the leak hasn't been marked yet, our water leak detection traces it to one spot before anything is opened. The repair plan then starts from that one marked spot.
-
Written Quote First
A written quote sets out fair, upfront pricing, no surprises, for the exact repair the marked spot needs. You approve that price before anyone cuts an opening in your home.
-
Open Only What's Needed
Our access is one small opening at the marked spot, whether in plaster, a cupboard floor or the ground. We leave the rest of the wall, floor or yard closed.
-
Repair the Damaged Length
The plumber cuts out the damaged length and joins in new pipe, or puts a new fitting on a failed joint. We keep the sound pipe either side in place.
-
Retest the Line
Once the new section is in, we retest the whole line with every tap in the house off. A second meter reading that stays still shows the repaired line holding.
Common Leaking Pipe Problems We Fix
A leaking pipe shows up as spraying water, a drip at a joint, failed tape or a worn connector:
-
Split Line Spraying Water
When water sprays from a split line, the supply goes off at the meter tap first. Our burst pipe repair then fixes that split length as an urgent same-day job.
-
Dripping Pipe Joint
We fix drips at a pipe joint under a basin or behind a toilet with a new fitting or a remade joint. Either fix stops the drip at that connection.
-
Taped Leak Dripping Again
If a leak is taped or held with a hardware store clamp, the drip slows but the failed part stays. A licensed plumber replaces that part, and the drip stops.
-
Frayed or Rusty Connector
Suncorp advises checking the hoses under each sink for fraying, rust or kinks at least twice a year. We replace any frayed connector the check turns up before it fails.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Fix a Leaking Pipe Myself in Sydney?
No, the NSW Government's plumbing licence page says any plumbing work needs a licence or certificate, regardless of the cost. Sydney Water limits owners to minor jobs like tap washers, so licensed plumbers fix pipes.
Can a Leaking Pipe Joint Be Fixed Without Replacing the Pipe?
Yes, a leaking pipe joint can be fixed with a new fitting or a remade joint, as long as only the joint has failed. Pipe damaged beside the joint needs that length replaced.
Can a Leaking Pipe Be Fixed With the Water On?
No, a lasting leaking pipe repair needs the water off while the damaged part comes out. Where fitted, an isolation valve shuts off that line alone, so the rest of the house keeps water.
Who Fixes a Leaking Meter Tap in Sydney?
The owner is responsible for a leaking meter tap. Sydney Water fixes that tap free within 10 working days on request, or a licensed plumber fixes it sooner at the owner's cost.
How Long Does a Leaking Pipe Repair Take?
The time a leaking pipe repair takes comes down to where the pipe runs and how much of it needs replacing. The marked leak spot shows that scope before you get a written quote.
How Do I Book Leaking Pipe Repairs in Sydney?
You book leaking pipe repairs in Sydney on (02) 9073 7896, noting where water shows and whether the meter moves. We Find It Leak Detection visits under Same Day Service, for a $0 call-out fee.
