Local, Fast, Reliable Leak Detection in Cape Town
With over 30 000 hours "hands on" work experience; I am a skilled, cost effective leak detection specialist. Using specialised innovative technology I find hidden water leaks underground, inside walls, in concrete slabs and under drive ways. My proven methodical approach to leak detection, ensures that I use non-destructive, precise techniques when detecting leaks in plumbing systems and swimming pools.
Leaks can be costly. Often the first indication of a leak is a high water bill. If you believe you have an uncontrolled flow of water on your property contact me today for an inspection.
Using the latest technology I am able to find a leak fast.
I had the most wonderful service from your company (Atlantic Leak) when I had a possible leak at my tenanted home in Sea Point. I received a very high water bill on 3 May 2025 (Saturday), contacted you with a message on your website on Sunday, got a call from Werner the next day early morning and he was at the house before 10.30 that morning!
He not only did an outstanding job but sent me a comprehensive report the next day. This meant that my plumber was immediately able to fix the problem and save me accumulating a high bill for the following month. Santam must have also been impressed because I received my insurance payment in full for your bill on 12th May.
Congratulations on running an efficient and effective company and many thanks for so quickly attending to a most stressful situation.
Wendy Bloom - Sea Point, Cape Town
Werner was spot on and exactly what we needed. After receiving a sky-high water bill, I found him online and he was able to help us quickly on a Saturday morning. Previous leak detection professionals had given us various possibilities, but Werner was precise and exact - he pinpointed the burst pipe under our driveway using professional equipment and marked the exact location. No guesswork, just results. Highly recommended.

Heidi from The Plumbery - Durbanville, Cape Town
I was worried when I noticed my water bill suddenly shooting up, especially since there was no visible leak anywhere but my water meter was spinning. Werner came to the rescue! He arrived exactly when he said he would and tracked down the problem to two spots on my old irrigation line - something I never would have found on my own. He didn't just find the leaks, he also gave me clear advice on how to fix them. I followed his suggestions and now my water usage is back to normal. His service was reliable and really solved the problem.
Trevor Herbert - Kuils River, Cape Town
Werner was absolutely wonderful to work with. When we discovered our water meter was running even when no taps were on, we were worried we had a hidden leak.
Werner not only responded the quickest when we called around, but also provided the most cost-effective quote - which was so important in what felt like an emergency situation. He was completely professional throughout the entire process. He found our underground leak and confirmed that nothing else was causing the spinning meter.
What really impressed me was how he went above and beyond the leak detection itself. He took the time to explain our options for claiming from both our insurance and the City of Cape Town, which we had no idea was even possible! His friendly, helpful approach made what could have been a stressful situation much more manageable.
I would definitely recommend Werner to anyone facing similar water problems.
