A strong foundation built on experience
Shayne had already spent eight years working in the industry when the Christchurch earthquakes gave him extensive exposure to damaged drainage systems and the challenges involved in identifying problems below ground.
That experience strengthened his interest in specialist diagnostics and underground infrastructure and helped shape the problem-solving approach behind Leak Solutions today.
Now based in Auckland, Leak Solutions works with homeowners, property managers and other trades to diagnose and resolve water leaks, drainage problems and underground service requirements throughout the region.
Comprehensive services for fast, effective solutions
Our specialist services cover the investigation, repair and installation work needed to solve a wide range of underground plumbing and drainage problems:
- Leak detection and repair, locate hidden and underground water leaks using methods including acoustic detection and pipe tracing, then determine the appropriate repair.
- Underground service detection, locate water pipes, electrical cables, gas services and other underground utilities before excavation or construction begins.
- Directional drilling, install water lines, electrical conduits and other underground services with significantly less surface excavation.
- Drain unblocking, investigate and clear blocked drains using methods including CCTV inspections and high-pressure drain jetting.
A customer-focused approach to every job
Every property and every underground problem is different, so we start by understanding what is happening before deciding how to approach the job.Our process is built around:
- Accurate diagnosis, using specialist equipment and practical experience to narrow down the cause and location of the problem.
- Clear recommendations, explaining what we have found and what we recommend doing next.
- Minimal unnecessary disruption, using non-invasive or trenchless techniques where they are appropriate.
- Practical solutions, looking beyond the immediate symptom to determine how the underlying problem can be resolved.
Where Leak Solutions can complete the repair or installation, we can continue through to the solution. If another specialist is required, we will explain that clearly rather than carrying out work outside the appropriate scope.
Guaranteed workmanship for peace of mind
Leak Solutions stands behind the quality of its work. We provide a one-year workmanship warranty on our services, giving customers added confidence in the work we complete.
We are also members of Master Plumbers, providing the additional protection available through the Master Plumbers Guarantee on eligible work.
Leak Solutions is a member of NULCA, the National Utility Locating Contractors Association, reflecting our commitment to recognised practices when locating underground services.
These memberships support the same approach we bring to every job: work safely, use the appropriate methods and provide customers with information they can rely on.
