Services
Leak Detection
Our leak detection service utilises acoustic microphones, thermal imaging, and tracer gas to pinpoint hidden water or gas leaks in walls, underground, or industrial systems. This non-destructive method reduces repair costs and property damage. Clients benefit from rapid, accurate diagnostics for residential, commercial, and mining applications.
Hydrojet Drain Cleaning
Hydrojet cleaning employs high-pressure water to remove blockages in drains without mechanical damage. This eco-friendly solution prevents future pipe wear and is ideal for multi-story buildings. Clients experience faster clearance and reduced risk of recurring clogs compared to traditional methods.
Insurance Reports
We provide detailed insurance reports for water damage claims, including leak location, repair recommendations, and compliance documentation. Our custom reporting system meets adjuster requirements and streamlines claims processing. Clients receive accurate, court-admissible evidence to support their cases.
Pipe Relining
Pipe relining restores damaged pipelines without excavation, using cured-in-place liners for durability. This method suits sewer, stormwater, and industrial systems with minimal disruption. Clients benefit from extended pipe lifespan and reduced restoration costs for landscapes or structures.
Gas Leak Detection
Specialised gas leak detection identifies underground or concealed leaks using correlators and tracer gas. This critical service prevents safety hazards and regulatory breaches for domestic and commercial properties. Clients receive prompt, non-invasive resolution to maintain operational safety.

Report
Due to a water pipe leak, I had engaged two other plumbing companies but unfortunately they were unable to detect the location of the leak. I found Priority Plumbing on Google and decided to give them a try. It was a wise decision! Chris found the location of the leak in no time. Not only did he manage to locate and fix the leak, he managed to get another job done for me by liaising with the office and getting another plumber, Christian, in to help finish the additional job I requested. Thank you Chris, Christian and Priority Plumbing for being professional, flexible and doing a great job.
