Melbourne Leak Detection & Repair — By a Registered Builder

Leak Masters is a Melbourne-based leak investigation and rectification service run by Brad Hunt, a registered domestic builder with more than 20 years of hands-on construction and renovation experience.

Where most leak detection companies focus only on finding the leak, we go further. We combine technical testing with deep building knowledge to identify the cause and design the correct, long-term repair. Every assessment is carried out with a builder’s eye for structure, waterproofing, drainage, and compliance — not just plumbing symptoms.

For homeowners, landlords, body corporates and builders, this means you receive clear answers and a practical path to resolution, not a vague report that leaves you chasing multiple trades.

Why We’re Different

Builder-Level Diagnosis

Leaks are rarely just a plumbing issue. They often involve roofing, waterproofing, flashings, cladding, drainage or structural movement. With decades of renovation and defect-repair experience, we diagnose the true source, not just the visible moisture.

Detailed Written Repair Scopes

We provide a written scope of works explaining exactly what needs to be done to rectify the leak properly — including materials, method and sequence. This allows you to obtain competitive quotes or engage us to manage the repair.

End-to-End Service

Unlike most leak detection businesses, we don’t stop at the report. We can quote, coordinate trades and manage the rectification as a small building project. Our goal is to deliver a permanent fix with minimal disruption and full transparency.

Independent & Practical Advice

We don’t push unnecessary works. Our recommendations are based solely on what will solve the problem in the most cost-effective and durable way.

Our Process

1. Inspect & Diagnose Moisture testing, visual inspection, storm pattern analysis, and building assessment.

2. Report & Scope of Works Clear findings, photos, and a detailed repair methodology.

3. Repair & Project Management Engage our team to carry out or manage the rectification — or use your preferred trades with our scope.

Who We Work With

• Homeowners and landlords

• Owners’ corporations and strata managers

• Renovation builders seeking independent diagnosis

• Property managers dealing with recurring leaks and water ingress

• Insurance claim support where required

About Brad

Brad began his building career working across renovations, extensions and complex defect-repair projects throughout Melbourne. Over time he saw how often property owners were given incorrect advice, temporary fixes, or conflicting opinions — usually because the assessor lacked broad building experience.

Leak Masters was created to fill that gap: a leak detection service backed by real building expertise, capable of diagnosing, explaining and fixing problems at the source.

Brad handles every assessment personally to ensure accuracy, consistency and accountability.

Our Commitment

• Honest, builder-grade advice

• Clear pricing and transparent reporting

• Permanent solutions over temporary band-aids

• Respectful communication and reliable scheduling

• Compliance with Victorian building and waterproofing standards
