Very through & professional inspection way better than draining the pool & trying to determine where leaks may or may not exist. Liquid dye detection is a very positive way of identifying the leaks & Trevor is experienced in resolving these where practical in an underwater situation. I was very comfortable with communications & suggested solutions & have no hesitation in recommending South East Leak Detection.

Trevor is on time , professional and has a lot of experience. He spent time locating the pool leak and was 100% confident he had found where the water was leaking. I would recommend him to anybody that has pool issues.

We were very happy with the service we got from this company. I got a call back within an hour of emailing a query about my leaking pool and was able to book within a few days. We were given honest, straight-forward advice, and not 'up-sold' anything we didn't need. I was very happy with the outcome, and my pool was fixed very quickly. Thanks so much! Will definitely use this company again. Genuine 5 star review (no discounts/incentives needed).

We reached out to South East Leak Detection, and the service and professionalism were outstanding. Trevor guided us over the phone, helping us try to locate or fix the leak ourselves. Our pool hasn’t been the easiest to deal with in the past, but he was incredibly kind and patient. First time pool owners. He even came out in person, conducted thorough checks and a pressure test, and shared his expertise with us. We’re forever grateful for his help!

I recently used South East Leak Detection and was incredibly impressed with the quality of their work. They were extremely thorough—far more meticulous than any other leak detection service I’ve used in the past. From start to finish, they took the time to investigate every possibility and didn’t cut any corners.What really stood out was the detailed report they provided afterward. It was clear, comprehensive, and showed just how careful and professional their approach was. I felt confident in their findings and appreciated the transparency.If you're looking for a reliable, professional, and highly detailed leak detection service, I highly recommend South East Leak Detection. They truly went above and beyond.

A very professional and prompt service. Trevor was at my home in less than 24 hours of calling. His work was thorough and, as a client, I appreciated being made aware of every step of the whole procedure. Excellent work from a true professional.

We have a vinyl-lined pool at our home, where we’ve lived for 11 years, and it’s prone to small tears and leaks. Over that time, we’ve had Trevor from South East Leak Detection visit on four occasions. Each time, he’s successfully located and repaired the leak.We only have positive feedback to share—Trevor is a wonderful person, extremely thorough and committed to his work. Most importantly, he is honest and fair. On a couple of occasions, Trevor has struggled to get a good earth at our property, making leak detection difficult, but he’s always persevered and ensured his invoices fairly reflect the work performed.For our most recent issue, Trevor spent a couple of hours trying to detect the leak but couldn’t get a solid enough earth for his equipment. He didn’t give up—instead, he went away, did some late-night troubleshooting with the equipment manufacturer in the USA, and came back with fresh ideas, determination, and plenty of earth cable!. Within a couple of hours, he had found four separate leaks and repaired them all.The tell-tale continued to drip for a couple of days afterwards, and Trevor kindly offered to return and add more putty at no charge. This was extremely generous and showed his commitment and integrity. However, after two more days, the dripping stopped on its own—it turned out to be residual trapped water under the vinyl—saving a return visit.I remain a very happy and grateful client. I highly recommend Trevor and thank him sincerely for his outstanding service.Cheers Trevor!Scott & Gris

Called them late on Friday and explained the problem. Trevor attended at 6:30 the following morning, and the problem was fixed in 1 hour. He is obviously very knowledgeable, and his attitude and professionalism were outstanding. Very thorough. He took the time to explain what he did, and provided valuable advice. I could not recommend him highly enough.

Worth it! Trevor was straight to the point both in explaining, and his work - in and out in no time - friendly and professional. We had one little, little tear in the middle of the pool, not along a seam nor a fitting making it impossible to find. My recommendation from this experience is to act fast, spend the money on Trevor rather than spending the money on cleaning up the pool etc after a long malfunction. Hoping I won’t need Trevor’s services again, but if I do, I know who to call. Thanks ☺️

Trevor from South East Leak detection was fantastic. We had a potential pool leak, and Trevor was quick to offer professional advise and a likely solution.

I initially texted and sent a few pics of my pool losing water through to Trevor on a weekend and wasn't expecting any reply until the Monday . However Trevor got back to me reasonably quickly and there was a bit of back and forth where he advised me of costs and his thoughts and ideas of what he believed would be causing my vinyl pool problems . He fit me in to his busy schedule a day later and after a complete and thorough going over of my pool the cause was identified and the leak rectified . He explained the process to me during and as he completed each step. Fair pricing , a great service and a helluva nice down to earth bloke . Later that night received a real time video showing my pool leak . Would highly recommend Trevor !

Trevor helped find a hole in a pipe going to our pool. Found it within 30min and tested the other pipes to be 100% sure. Very happy with the service!

Contacted Trevor yesterday morning regarding a leak in my pool and despite being finished up for the year he came out this morning at 6 am to fix my hydrostatic valve. Very much appreciate how quickly he helped! Highly recommend

Trevor was great every step of the way, from having us do some pre-arrival tests that saved both time and a significant additional cost due to multiple callouts that were not required. Trevor was able to locate the source of our leak within 2 hours, while being completely transparent about what he was doing and why. He also clearly explained not only his process but also helped us understand how the pool at our new house is constructed, which will be very helpful in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend South East Leak Detection.

Trevor is a lifesaver & has literally saved me thousands of dollars in locating my 2 concealed water leaks (that prior tradespeople could not isolate, or claimed to have fixed). A really genuine, honest/trustworthy, highly skilled & knowledgeable person, who will do an absolutely thorough job. I highly recommend Trevor - was a positive experience & he has helped us tremendously. I just wished we had contacted him sooner.

Received an excess water notice?

Each year, tens of thousands of letters are sent out advising rate payers around Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan and Ipswich of unusually high water usage. Leaking toilets, taps and more particularly, leaking underground pipes can waste a significant amount of water and therefore lead to extremely high water bills.
