Water leaks are often hidden beneath tiles, membranes and building structures, making them difficult to diagnose without specialist equipment. At SCR, we identify the true source of water ingress using professional testing methods, allowing repairs to be targeted accurately without unnecessary demolition.

Whether you’re dealing with a leaking shower, balcony, terrace, bathroom or tiled area, our experienced team provides independent leak investigations, detailed reports and practical repair recommendations.

Professional Water Leak Detection Done Properly

Finding the source of a water leak is the most important step before commencing repairs. Incorrect diagnosis can lead to repeated repairs, unnecessary costs and ongoing water damage.

Our leak detection investigations help you:

  • Identify the exact source of water ingress
  • Avoid unnecessary demolition and repairs
  • Understand why the waterproofing has failed
  • Receive independent reporting for informed decision making
  • Minimise ongoing property damage
  • Plan repairs with confidence

Using industry-leading diagnostic equipment and proven testing methods, SCR provides accurate leak detection services across Melbourne for homeowners, builders, strata managers and commercial property owners.

After two failed attempts with other companies, I enlisted SCR and my first floor balcony/terrace no longer leaks. Major relief! Mark and Asad are generous with their time and knowledge and their work speaks for itself, ie no more leaks. My neighbour ended up using them too.

I cannot recommend SCR highly enough; as a property manager and owner, SCR successfully saved my property from a major leak, caused by a construction issue. Their assessment of the issue, and options provided, allowed me to make an informed decision on repairs needed on both immediate and long-term repair options.

For the repair of an ongoing balcony leak, I found SCR on google. A site inspection was arranged with Mark who I found to be very professional and gave me confidence and that the leak could be repaired effectively in a short time. The work was carried out by Asad who I found was very knowledgeable and professional.

What an incredible company with which to deal. We had fairly major issues with the blue stone paving on our front porch and landing and also the porcelain tiles on first floor balcony. Our builder was never able to correct the problems despite numerous attempts so we decided to try SCR. From the initial contact with front office to having an inspection and quote done by Mark you knew that these guys know their stuff. Very professional outfit. Asad & Craig who did the repairs were 1st class tradesmen. Mark followed everything up from start to finish and ensured all went well from Day one. Well done guys - excellent job- and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. Ray Lane - Mordialloc
