About leak detection
An unexplained jump in your water bill, damp patches or the sound of running water when everything is off usually means a concealed leak. Leak detection specialists use acoustic listening gear, thermal imaging and tracer gas to pinpoint leaks under slabs and in walls without ripping anything open on a guess. Accurate location first makes the repair dramatically cheaper.
Getting quotes in the Hill
Before booking a plumber for leak detection, ask whether the price includes GST, callout and materials, and get it in writing. The quoting spread between operators in the same suburb is bigger than most people expect, which is exactly why comparing pays.

Quick answers
How much does a plumber cost in Australia?+
Most plumbers charge a callout fee of $60 to $120 plus an hourly rate of $80 to $150. Simple jobs like a leaking tap are often quoted flat, around $100 to $250. Getting two or three quotes for anything over a few hundred dollars is the easiest way to avoid overpaying.
Do I need a licensed plumber for small jobs?+
Yes. In every Australian state, plumbing work including tap replacement, pipe work and anything touching drinking water or drainage legally requires a licensed plumber. DIY plumbing can void insurance and cause compliance issues when you sell.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?+
Burst pipes, uncontrollable leaks, blocked sewer drains backing up into the house, no hot water in winter, and gas smells all count. Turn off the water at the meter (or gas at the bottle/meter) first, then call. After-hours rates are higher, so if it can safely wait until morning you will usually pay less.
