I have to say that Trevor and Sam are absolutely brilliant at what they do. Right from the first phone conversation I had with Trevor, it was clear that he knew his stuff. He listened to my water issues and took the time to explain what the procedure was to identify and fix the problem. Trevor and Sam came over the next day and were very thorough with their testing and repaired our major water leak.Trevor also explained to me that we could possibly claim on our insurance for finding the leak, which of course, he was correct and we now have a claim without us paying our excess. He also sent me the link and guided me through claiming the rebate from urban utilities. A big thank you to Trevor and Sam. They make a great father and son team. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

While watching my pool empty through a pipe I had just put my pick axe through, I called for help, these guys offered me free advice on how to fix it, and called later to see how I was going. I managed to fix the pipe, and will be calling them first next time I need some help. Thanks.

Trevor and team were fantastic. I had a leak in my pool that was driving me mad. I had a pool leak specialist from another company take a look. After two weeks, $$, and my time...still had an obvious leak somewhere.I decided to call Trevor for a second opinion - who provided me great advice over the phone.Trevor and team found the leak and fixed the issue on the same day ....and thankfully it was a simple non-expensive fix. I should have called South East Leak Detection to begin with. They are professional, thorough and honest.A bit more expensive than the initial company I had called to fix the leak, however, Trevor and his team are worth the money - like they say, you get what you pay for.

Trevor was great! We had an underground leak and apparently it wasn’t as bad as everyone thought and didn’t take to much work to fix it. And it showed in the price! Very affordable and even gave us some tips on how to clam insurance on it. Thank you so much!

Recently I received my water bill statement & to my shock it was about $250 more than my water average. I realised I must have a concealed water leak somewhere. After research of reviews, I contacted Trevor from South East Leak Detection. He was very knowledgeable & polite & explained the process to detect the leak.He was upfront with the cost involved which I found fair & reasonable. He also suggested I contact my insurance company & they covered his detection cost with no excess. Trevor & his plumber son Sam arrived on Saturday morning & were straight into it .After pressure testing & a couple of pilot holes they located a significant leak under a concrete slab. They repaired the problem leak, pressure tested it again , a job well done guys to my relief & peace of mind. I sincerely recommend Trevor & Sam from from South East Leak Detection to everyone. No need to look any further, this father & son duo are the best. Very professional. Thanks again. John Hamilton.

After having several local plumbers take a look at a tricky leak on our property and not being able to diagnose the exact problem, we called South East Leak Detection and are very pleased that we did. From the first phone call, where Trevor took his time to explain the common causes of leaks etc and even ran us through some basic checks over the phone, right through to the end of the repair, both Sam & Trevor demonstrated nothing but professionalism and real pride in their work. Sam was bang on time (on a Saturday no less) and within 2 hours had located and repaired the leak, despite the fact that it was located under a thick concrete slab.We would highly recommend South East Leak detection for any leak location and repair work - their prices are extremely competitive and the work is done professionally and quickly.

06:15 20 Aug 19

Trevor was able to diagnose my problem and tell me how to fix it over the phone for free... could just as easily have made a quick buck on a call out fee and I would have been none the wiser. Can't recommend him enough!

We thought they did a great job.. Took the time to walk us through their very thorough routine for detecting leaks. Once they has inspected the property they provided detailed feedback. They were courteous and supportive. Charges were very reasonable. We would certainly use them again and are happy to recommend their service to others.

Recently had a leaking pipe under driveway. Trevor and Sam were prompt, honest, quick and reasonable with charges. They even reinstated the garden bed that my son had dug up (while doing our own investigative work)Highly recommend.Thank you both.

The service Trevor provided was excellent. Even though it was a public holiday he talked me through a range of tests over the phone that eventually allowed me to establish that I did not have a leak to be concerned about. This avoided me having to get Trevor to attend the property. His response was prompt and professional and i would highly recommend this company to anyone with concerns about their level of water usage.

After receiving a very high water account, we contacted South East Leak Detection Pty. Ltd.Trevor and Sam found a leak and repaired it within a couple of hours at a reasonable cost. We found them very helpful and professional. They were a pleasure to deal with. Tony and Karyn Gutteridge.

We received a letter from the local council that our water usage was high. Contacted Trevor to fix the leak, he was thorough, professional and easy to talk to. Would highly recommend.

Very professional and friendly! Trevor did his job perfectly and took extra time to explain me what he found and even who I can contact to try fixing the problems. I would recommend his services to anyone who is looking for a prepurchase pool inspection (structural).

Immanuel Joseph

We were having issues with water usage for a long time. When I first called Trevor, I was really surprised by the way our conversation went. Trevor offered me some suggestions over the phone to check the issue further. We weren't able to nail down the problem over the phone so we booked in an appointment. Trevor and Sam were highly professional. They arrived on time. Trevor was able to identify the leak spot very quickly and Sam fixed the plumbing for us. The job was very clean. I liked the fact that it's one quote and you know what you're signing up to. Even to fix they issue Trevor gave me a quote as soon as they identified the issue. It made it easier for us to be sure of the cost before hand.Thank you guys, you've helped us to save a lot of water. Will definitely recommend them to anyone who has an issue with water leaks. Tremendous professionalism.

Lily Norman

01:04 22 Feb 19

Trevor and Sam were extremely professional. Trevor spent 20 minutes on the phone at my first enquiry, explaining and asking questions to then make a thorough and proactive decision as to what job needed to be done. He explained it very well. When he and Sam came to assess the water leak, they used their specialist equipment to make a thorough investigation and because the leak was found very quickly, the costs were reduced appropriately. I liked it that it was a one off quote for the job, rather than the idea that you're quoted by the hour to find the leak. I would highly recommend South East Leak Detection and would definately use them again. Another plus was when they said they would come, they arrived exactly on time too, reliable and conscientious.

Gordon Blake

21:02 11 Feb 19

What can I say, Trevor and Sam are true professionals and ggive me faith that there are still decent tradies out there. Everything explained and done with the minimal disruption. The job site was left in as clean a condition as possible. Well done gentlemen.

I would like to recommend South East Leak Detection for underground leak detection and repairs. They were working very hard to find a broken pipe on my property under a large tree. They were efficient and effective and very easy to communicate with.

Completely happy with the service of this company.Prior to coming out Trevor took the time to speak to me about the possible issues. Once they came out they were punctual, professional, friendly and most importantly very through. Found the leak within a short time frame. Cleaned everything up and gave me a detailed report. So happy with their service highly recommend this company. Wish there were more people out there like these guys. Thanks

Would highly recommend Trevor and Sam for any leak detection work you may need. They were punctual, professional and easy to communicate with. They responded quickly to our call and conducted the CCTV investigation of our sewer and storm water drains efficiently and with no fuss. After completing the investigation they clearly explained their findings and provided us with a narrated copy of the cctv footage. As such, no guess work involved. Was very impressed with the accuracy and thoroughness of their work.

I recently utilised the services of Trevor and South East Leak Detection due to my suspicions that I had a concealed leak. I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and efficiency by which the detection and repair was carried out. Trevor was thorough and transparent about the process and cost of detecting a concealed leak, and when he found the leak (which was a failed t-piece), was able to quote me a reasonable price to have this fixed (and it was fixed straight away). I calculated that this repair has saved me over $200 per water bill!! He even provided me with a leak to obtain adjustment of my recent water bills from Urban Utility due to the concealed leak.Overall I would highly recommend South East Leak Detection to anyone needing leak detection services. Thanks again Trevor for your help!Henry

SE Leaks came at the agreed time and determined where the leak was. Gave a quote to repair the leak under the concrete driveway. Completed the complicated repair that afternoon for the agreed quote and cleaned up afterwards. I recommend them.

Clea Thorne

09:37 09 Jul 18

Highly recommended, honest, reliable, fast, efficient and informative trade professional. I received a very expensive water bill and instructions from my provider weren't sufficient for me to establish that I even had a leak. Trevor was able to answer all my questions over the phone and then came on site to determine that I had a slow concealed leak. He involved me in the detection process, gave me honest advice and options for repair. Truly a great and genuine service - don't hesitate.

Mark Green

07:22 24 Jun 18

Had a leak in our pool. Advised by Trevor to run a test to confirm volume of loss and to ensure it wasn't just evaporation. Once confirmed Trevor and Sam identified the leak and fixed exactly as discussed. Very prompt, extremely professional and gave great insight into the cause and outcome. Highly recommend this company.

Trevor took time to explain possible problems. He told me to do a simple test. We found out how much water I was losing per day. This was all before I decided to go ahead with his company. Sam explained what he was going to do and found and fixed the leak. He went to get a part that he doesn’t usually carry so I didn’t have to get a normal plumber. Trevor gave me a follow up call. Very professional. I will highly recommend them. Thank you, Trevor and Sam.

We learned that we had a major leak when a council worker let us know after a meter reading After much messing around on my part I called Trevor. Even though it was on Saturday, Trevor and Sam found the issue and repaired it, no fuss and no bother. It was so refreshing to me a couple of old school tradesman who put customer service firstI would recommend this company to anyone needing good old fashion service

I called South East Leak Detection to investigate any potential drainage issues we may have had after being advised by a forensic engineer to eliminate this as the cause of a major crack down the side of our house. Trevor answered my initial phone call and after hearing of my request gave me a description of what he would be able to do, how long it would take and how much it would cost. He was amenable to my request that we work around a time that would suit my day off work and we agreed on a time. On the day he was due to arrive he called two hours beforehand to check that it was still ok to come around. At the designated time he and his son Sam arrived and immediately set to work. They are both friendly, respectful, knowledgable and efficient. Throughout the whole process they continued to include me in all their findings, explaining what they had found and leaving above ground markings to show exactly where the issues are and how deep the drains are so we are able to get someone in to do the repairs. They have also provided us with a USB of the video and photo footage taken. I highly recommend South East Leak Detection for any plumbing investigative work needed and will use them again in the future should we have any other issues.

Far cheaper than other leak detection companies that I contacted. Great value for money and did an excellent job in locating and repairing our underground water leak.

Jackson Lee

23:12 28 Mar 18

Gave Trevor a call regarding a leak problem dealt by another plumber. He has been helpful and gives some instructions for preliminary testing before really asking him to come out. He saved me hundreds or possibly thousands of dollars . I thank him for his free advise and will definitely ask him for my future plumbing jobs and recommend to anyone who is having plumbing issues.

I was extremely happy with the service that South East Leak Detection provided with my underground leak. I had my plumber come out and he could not find the leak, he recommended I get a leak detection company. I did some research on Google and called the boys from South East . They were upfront with their pricing for the detection . They arrived on time found the leak then quoted a reasonable price for the repair which they completed on the same day. Would recommend this company for sure many thanks

Extremely satisfied by the level of service, professionalism and attention-to-detail shown by South East Leak Detection. Their communication throughout the whole process was both accurate (they did exactly as described, with no surprises along the way) and reassuring - a rare quality that is hard to come by especially when dealing with tradesmen these days. In the unfortunate event of another water leak, I will certainly not hesitate to use this company again. A genuine a pleasure to deal with. Thank you South East Leak Detection!

Woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of water running when there was no tap being used by anyone in the house. Noticed water meter ticking over also. Rang South East Leak Detection first thing in the morning based on the great reviews by previous clients. Trevor was professional and friendly over the phone and was happy to run through basic checks with me before coming out. He was here on time and explained everything to me in layman's terms. He was upfront and transparent with price also. Grateful that he was able to come and detect the leak and fix the leak at reasonable price on the same day. Highly recommended, and I unfortunately don't get to say that about many tradies these days. Thanks Trevor

I noticed leak in water mains through high water bill compared to previous quarter and started reading the meter which confirmed leak somewhere. No visible signs in the house so had to be somewhere else. I found SouthEast Leak Detection through Google search and left message on their website. Trevor responded promptly though it was during Xmas break time and requested meter reading to work out the water loss in a day. Based on this I was quoted the price for detection and explained the entire process of using pressure and gas and also the repair process after that. Trevor arrived on the agreed day and started the work with pressure test and followed by gas to locate a leak. Small leak was detected but that was not the main leak. Trevor through his experience traced the pipe work and found the main leak and quoted the price to repair and retest. Overall took him more time than he had estimated but still charged quoted price and organised his son,licence plumber, to repair the leak on the same day. I would recommend SouthEast due to very professional/honest advice and open communication with customer and also one company can do entire job detection of leak and then repair making it cost effective.

I had received the notification from Urban Utility about leakage possibility at my place, I contacted several companies and all quoted me charges which was quite high. I came across Trevor from google search and I called him up, he was so honest and told me all that I should do by myself before asking to come out and spend anything. I did everything as he explained and it seemed that there was no leak but as we know if it has any chances of leak, the bills could go in thousands of dollars, so for the peace of mind - I called him to do leak test and he charged me very reasonably and was upfront about his charges over the phone before coming out. Great value for money service and most importantly works out things with very honest advice and in cost-effective manner. Certainly would recommend him...Thanks Trevor...Cheers! Kevin

We had a concealed leak at our property which was located by Trevor (owner) from south east leak detection. He did a good job and explained us in detail what the process was. Really down to earth person to deal with and even gave us a discount for finding the leak quicker than expected. Thanks again Trevor.

How nice to find an honest reliable business. I rang Trevor after receiving a few high water bills. He gave me some tips and advice over the phone on how to check for leaks, he even called me on a Sunday. Extremely helpful and professional, saved me money by not even having to come out. No cash for him but hugely impressed, would use him any day of the week. Highly recommend.

02:40 19 Jan 18

I put in a request online around 7.30pm, regarding a water leak I had detected. Trever rang me within 10 minutes, we discussed it, and we made an appointment for him to come find the leak. Trevor was on time, and found the leak with his detection equipment very quickly. We were losing approx. 1350l of water per day. As it was underground, he dug a trench, found the broken pipe, isolated it, and then arranged for Sam to repair same day. I would highly recommend South East Leak detection, for fast efficient and friendly service. It was appreciated. Regards Robert

I'm new to the pool game and after getting ripped off by Pool servicing guys, Trevor gave me excellent honest advice to hopefully rectify the problem prior to the boys coming out. If it doesn't work they will be the first people I call. Quality customer service & highly recommend!

I had South East Leak Detection out to my house to find an underground leak after receiving an excess water notice from the council. They were extremely professional, friendly, and great with their communication. They found the leak and repaired it on the spot which was a great result for us. I would highly recommend using this company.

Lynda Shields

22:32 10 Sep 17

I had a tricky situation given it was the highest water leakage they'd seen - 9600 litres (not a typo) / per day was being lost and no evidence of where the water was going! It took 4 hours for Trevor and Sam to locate and fix the problem and it was Sunday! Trevor provided much needed guidance and a step by step plan on managing the situation through to Sam fixing the Leak. Highly Recommend Trevor and Sam.

Jenny Stuckey

01:04 08 Aug 17

I'd highly recommend South East Leak Detection to anyone having problems with a concealed leak. They were able to find and repair a tricky concealed leak on our property within a few hours. Trevor and Sam were very professional in their dealings with us and in the way they went about the repairs. They turned up on time and explained exactly how much the work was likely to cost and how long it would take to repair. I can't thank them enough.
