Specialists in Leak Detection & Burst Pipes
Burst Pipes are no joke. We are fully qualified to repair it the RIGHT way. Burst pipes can sneak up on you, slowly leaking water for weeks or months without notice…and then you receive an alarmingly expensive water bill. On the other hand, massive pipe bursts can cause damage quickly and require instant repair.

How do I know if I have a leak?
Not all leaks are obvious, and they can be secretly burning a hole in your wallet. One of the easiest ways to test for a hidden leak is to turn off your entire water supply. If your water meter continues to rise, then you know there is a leak hidden somewhere.
There are some common household areas you can check regularly for leaks to avoid unwanted water charges. For example:
Toilet — Remove the cover over the cistern and listen closely. Leaks tend to be accompanied by a low hissing sound. Also check to see if there is leaking down the back of the toilet bowl itself.
Shower — Shower heads can become clogged and actually hide evidence of a leak until they overflow. Remove the head regularly to clean it and check for unwanted water back ups.
Outdoor Taps — If your outdoor taps are leaking you will often find growth around it. This will be especially noticeable when the weather has been dry. If your tap is surrounded by grass or other foliage, this is a sure sign of leaking. Double check there are no holes in your hoses or irrigation systems.
Many things can cause leaks, but copper pipes tend to cause even more issues because they can become brittle and weak over time. If you continue to experience leaks you may want to look into replacing your pipes with something more sturdy, like plastic pipes. Contact us for a repair quote today.

Reece did a great job & had my leaking waterpipe fixed in no time. He never left a mess behind either. Very professional.
Christine O’Connor
Excellent professional prompt courteous service. Sent an email to get a quote and heard from Tap Doctors early the next morning. Alan came out that day and provided a reasonable quote and gave great advice about what was required. Alan replaced a couple of cisterns in a timely fashion and left both bathrooms neat and tidy. Highly recommend this service.

Dr Brian arrived like Superman and fixed every issue
So impressed with this company
I had contacted two other well known plumbing companies: still waiting for one to get back to me over a week later & the other; the guy actually said “oh; the phone doesn’t ring very often” ….and ” I could pop out on Saturday and have a look for you”
Tap Doctor was efficient: has a regular communication set up so you’re on top of timing
I totally trusted the assessment of issues & the overall workmanship
Brilliant 🙂

We recently had an awesome experience with The Tap Doctor South branch & the mrs said we should share the experience because we are pretty happy with the outcome & think it could be valuable to others.
Our hot water tank was leaking water from the bottom of the tank and we had no hot water pressure in our house.
We built this house in 2003, and we’ve had a couple issues with the tank not re-lighting and valves leaking in the past, so we were not surprised when we were informed we needed a new one.
We called them because my old man told us to as he had used them before and he was happy.
We had a lady plumber arrive (I was a bit surprised to see a lady plumber if I’m honest but she was bloody fantastic) and we think she is an asset to the company.
She was easy to deal with, professional, & the new system looks awesome.
The thing we liked about the company mostly was we were given a quote first with all inclusive costs upfront and it was the same figure on completion, so no hidden charges.
We didn’t have to pay for her to come and give us a quote.
She was on time – a bit earlier actually &
Job was done same day.
Yes we would use this company again if needed.

I’ve used the Tap Doctor for a few years now and they are reliable, accommodating (especially when its urgent), honest, and the price is reasonable. I can recommend Charlie and his team. Living in an older home, I’ve had a few different things repaired or replaced and they’ve always done a great job, I’ve had no issues.
