From the first call to the final re-test, we find the leak carefully, keep opening-up small, then repair only what needs repairing.

Talk through symptoms and recent work. Check fixtures. Isolate and pressure-test where useful to confirm cold, hot, or a branch line.

Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, moisture metering, and CCTV for drains when it is a waste-line issue. Mark the source before we cut.

Show you the evidence. Quote the repair. Fix it. Re-test so the meter holds and moisture settles. Advise on drying / make-good if other trades are needed.
Hidden leaks do not fix themselves. Call Old Mate on (07) 5241 1939. 24/7 Monday to Sunday.
