Common Causes of Water Leaks in Melbourne Homes (and How We Find Them Fast)

Written By Emily Grove

Water leaks are more common than many Melbourne homeowners realise. But knowing the source — and proving it — is key to fast insurance claims and builder rectification. The most common causes we see include:

  • Failing balcony membranes

  • Cracked shower recesses

  • Blocked or collapsed stormwater drains

  • Poor flashing installation

Our team uses non-invasive testing like tracer gas, thermal cameras, and pressure drops to trace leaks without damage.

This helps us produce reliable plumbing reports for disputes, insurance, or builders — without guesswork.
