Subtronic

At Subtronic, we specialise in water leak detection in Perth. If you know you have a leak somewhere, due to damp walls, cracked foundations, or a running water meter even when your taps are off, but can’t find the source of the leak, you need to give us a call.

We use highly specialised advanced detection equipment to find leaks in hard to reach areas, such as under concrete floors, underground areas, and in wall cavities. This equipment is not available to the majority of plumbers, so if you have a hard to find leak in your home, business, or building site, or if you’re a plumber that’s been called in but lack the specialised experience and equipment, then you should call Subtronic for your leak detection in Perth.

We have 14 years of industry experience in both the public and the commercial sectors, ensuring we will be able to locate your leak both quickly and efficiently. Not only that, but unlike a lot of other specialised leak detectors in Perth, we are also capable of doing general plumbing work in addition to our leak detection services. This means we not only detect the leak, but if required we can fix it. We can also carry out other plumbing work on your property, to ensure that any further leaks don’t occur. We’re fully licensed, so you can rest easy knowing that all work has been completed in the correct and legal manner.

However, if you would prefer to work with your regular plumber to have them repair any leaks, we are happy to work with them to provide a solution. To minimise disturbance to your property, we will provide your plumber with suitable access to the leak once it has been discovered.

A water leak can be very expensive in terms of water wastage, as well as possibly causing extensive damage to your home. That’s why it’s important that you find the source of the leak and stop it as soon as possible. At Subtronic, we know how urgently you might need an emergency plumber in Perth, which is why we provide a 24 hour emergency service. The sooner you act, the less money and water you will be wasting, preserving this important resource.

With a friendly and personalised service that is both honest and reliable, we are sure that you’ll be satisfied with our work. If you suspect you have a leak, and need it detecting urgently at a competitive price, give Subtronic a call today. We will provide you with a no obligation free quote, and offer fixed priced fees and serviced for your peace of mind.

We’ll return your property to as good as new
Detecting a leak is just part of the total service package we offer at Subtronic. There’s no point having a leak fixed if you’re left with a bigger mess afterwards than before. Once we detect a leak our team can fix it in no time before returning the area to as good as new. Check out some before and after examples of our water leak detection and repair service.

When you feel that you may have a leak, whether in your home, business premises, building site – in fact anywhere, it’s important to use the services of a recognised leak detection expert. These problems may be found in inaccessible spots, and located only by a professional assessment of the evidence. Such clues as sudden dampness seeping through a wall, or the warping of wooden floors and the like will alert you. You may simply notice that your water meter is still active when you are not actually using your supply.

For more than fourteen years, Clive and the fully-licensed professional team here at WA have owned and operated Subtronic, and have been the go-to solution for water leak detection throughout Perth. Clives wide experience, backed up both by our professional emergency plumbing team, and our highly specialised advanced detection equipment, means we’re often the guys that other plumbers, as well as home owners, business managers, and site supervisors, call in to help detect those frustratingly hard to find leaks.

While some companies only offer either leak detection or plumbing options, Subtronic offers you a 24 hour emergency plumber service throughout Perth, and one which offers so much more. All general licensed plumbing work can also be undertaken, helping to prevent those annoying leaks happening in the first place, or to make sure they don’t occur again.

Much of the work undertaken here at Subtronic is through word-of-mouth recommendation from family, friends, or colleagues, impressed by the professional standard of our work, and friendly, helpful attitude on every call. Over the years, a large number of folk have been grateful for the quick solutions we have provided, ones that have helped limit the costly damage that a single leak can cause.

Our Leak Detection and Emergency Plumber Services
The moment you spot a leak, in your Perth home or business premises, or believe that you might have one that isn’t yet fully visible, then it’s best to call in some expert help. The evidence might be obvious, water everywhere, or you might have found a damp patch on a wall or ceiling. There may be mould or mildew where it wasn’t the last time you looked, or simply a musty smell in a corner of your room. Perhaps your water bill has increased though the charges haven’t.

The Immediate Action to Take
It’s time to call in the experts here at Subtronic. We can locate burst pipes and leaks, and electric cables, using our advanced electronic systems. It’s a very highly specialised service, using equipment which is unavailable to most other plumbers throughout Perth. In fact, we are often called in by others who have been unable to locate a leak. For example, our Subtronic team can find those hard-to-find leaks under concrete floors, in underground areas, and in wall cavities.

Our Equipment

What We Use To Find Your Leaks
At Subtronic we use the latest cutting edge technology to locate damaged and leaking pipes and fittings. We use a variety of equipment based on the conditions we are presented with. There are different types of plumbing materials used within Perth, each with their own have unique characteristics, that require different methods for reliable leak location and detection.

Some of the skills and equipment we use at Subtronic include thermal differentiations, acoustic detection (using both frequency and volume as an indicator), compressed air, advanced noise filtering techniques just to name a few. However, all the equipment in the world means nothing without skilled and experience people operating it. With over 30 years being a plumber, Clive has all the knowledge and training to expertly locate and fix virtually any kind of water leak. For a visual demonstration check out our how we locate water leaks video.

The moment you believe there may be a leak in your plumbing system, you need expert help. The quicker we can source any such leak, the more the damage can be contained. Some leaks are obvious, others are more subtle. It might be a sudden and spreading damp patch on a wall or ceiling, a crack you have suddenly noticed in your foundations, or a musty smell when you open a cupboard door. It could simply be that you can’t work out why your water meter is ticking over when all the taps are off, or your bill has increased when it shouldn’t have.

What happens when you call Subtronic?
A large proportion of water leaks aren’t immediately visible to the naked eye. We have a range of highly specialised hydro-sonic, acoustic leak detection equipment that isn’t available to the vast majority of plumbers, that’s why they often call us in when they simply can’t source a leak. Using this gives us the best chance to detect that leak, quickly. We can also pinpoint poly pipes, underground pipe-work, data and electric cables, water mains, fire-lines and standpipes, to gain a complete picture of the situation.

Our equipment is truly state of the art which makes us one of the leaders in Perth for leak detection. Unlike many other leaks detection equipment, our instruments not only detect faint sound, but can also sense frequency which helps up to determine the distance with even greater accuracy. This means we can find leaks in harder to detect areas such as underground and even through concrete surfaces. We have also worked in a range of building environments, from private homes to commercial premises, and in single storey to multi-storey buildings.

For example, it could be that your leak is several feet underground. When you watch us using the equipment, it seems as if we are using a microphone to listen. That’s basically what we are doing. If the sound is loud enough, our sophisticated equipment will start to detect it from as far away as thirty feet on the surface, and up to five feet below ground level. Even for smaller, quieter leaks, we will detect them from a good few feet away as our nitrogen injection system is ideal for spotting these smaller leaks.

Our Fixed Price Fee

Avoid The Hassles Of Unexpected Extra Fees
We know that you hate it if you find, or think you may have found, a water leak in your home, shop, restaurant, bar, office, factory or building site in Perth. It might be quite obvious, with water everywhere. It could be that you have noticed nothing more than some unexpected mildew or mould or a sudden cracking of your foundations or even suspect that your meter is still running, when the water supply itself isn’t being used.

What can be even more annoying, when you call in professional help, is when a hard-to-locate source of your leak means that the bill to find it seems to be increasing like a running taxi meter! Luckily, here at Subtronic, Clive and our experienced team use advanced and highly specialised detection equipment to eliminate the guesswork from finding that leak. At the same time, we have also taken that guesswork out of knowing just how much you’ll be charged.

Don’t Pay A Cent More
This simply doesn’t happen when you call 0412 087 848 and speak to Clive and our superb team here at Subtronic. We operate on a guaranteed fixed price. This means that, whether it takes a single hour, or several, and involves use of our highly specialised detection equipment not available to the majority of plumbers, the price we quote up-front for leak detection is what you actually pay.
