Hi there, ​I need a specialist leak detection technician to locate an underground leak. ​Yarra Valley Water recently fixed a stop tap, but a leak has shown up near the tap since. My normal plumber came out to investigate and dug down as far as he could, but has now hit concrete and can't go any further. He suspects the pipe is leaking somewhere near the meter or underneath the driveway. ​I need someone with acoustic or electronic leak detection equipment to accurately pinpoint the exact location of the leak so my plumber knows precisely where to cut and dig. I also have a photo of the current hole/dig site available to share. ​Please let me know your experience with buried and under-driveway leaks, your availability this week, and your quote for the job. Thanks!
