Got a Leak in Merewether? We'll Find and Fix It

Leak Hunters specialises in leak detection for showers, pools, balconies and taps, including the hidden leaks that are hardest to trace.

Why Choose the Leak Hunters Team?

Being local to Merewether, we understand how our climate and buildings can create unique challenges for homeowners, from weather extremes to older plumbing hidden behind tiled walls. Our team finds hidden leaks across Merewether and its surrounds before they cause expensive structural damage. 

Our Leak Detection Services

Leaking Shower Repair Merewether

A leaking shower in Merewether will often start small, but it can quickly grow to cause damage to your walls, ceilings and timber frames. Moisture trapped behind tiles creates mould and makes your grout weaker, leading to expensive repairs if ignored.

We’ll fix your leaky shower without pulling out your tiles!

Our team uses non-invasive tools to locate the source of the leak, whether it is old or broken waterproofing, cracked grout, or a faulty shower screen. We provide specific, targeted repairs that protect your bathroom without unnecessary demolition, saving you both time and money. Because our team are all licensed plumbers, we make sure we check the entire shower for any hidden issues others might miss.

Leaking Pool Repair Merewether

Pool leaks in Merewether can lead to you losing thousands of litres of water in as little as a week, wasting your money and potentially damaging the surrounding paving or gardens. Many Merewether homeowners will start to notice higher water bills, but can’t seem to find where the leak might be coming from. 

At Leak Hunters, we make finding pool leaks simple. Using advanced methods like dye testing, pressure testing, and thermal imaging, we can pinpoint the issue without having to drain your pool or dig up the garden. Once we find the leak, our local Merewether team repairs the cracked shells, plumbing issues, or damaged tiles to get your pool back in perfect shape. 

Whether it’s in a hot Aussie summer or a cooler winter, when leaks go unnoticed, acting fast can save you money and unneeded stress.
