About Us
Leak Hunters are the leading plumbing experts in Newcastle with over 25 years’ experience in the plumbing industry.
About Leak Hunters
Owner-operator Michael Feneck is a qualified plumber and gas fitter with 25 years in the trade. More than 10 of those years were spent running his own plumbing company in the Bega Valley, specialising in maintenance plumbing, before he relocated to Newcastle and founded Leak Hunters. He keeps his qualifications current and continues to train as equipment, materials and standards change.
We use industry-leading German diagnostic equipment to resolve plumbing faults efficiently, including the leak detection equipment our team uses to pinpoint a leak without cutting into walls, floors or paving.
Unlike many plumbers who work mainly on new home construction and take on maintenance jobs only occasionally, our Newcastle plumbing services are built around maintenance and repairs. That focus means we handle the more complex and difficult jobs, which is why other local plumbers refer customers to us.
Our attention to detail and our commitment to getting the job right the first time is what separates us from other operators. We tell clients what a job involves and what it will cost before we start, not after.
Our Newcastle plumbing team works with homeowners, tenants, landlords, real estate agents, strata managers, insurance companies and government facilities, including police stations and schools. We hold all the necessary Certificates of Currency for insurance and licence requirements.
We’re known for our on-site video reports, recorded before and after repairs alongside diagnostic footage. These let clients see the fault for themselves and approve further work and spending as the job progresses.
We also know the other trades and services operating across the region, so we can advise clients on the additional services they may need alongside our plumbing work.
