A leak you cannot see is often more damaging than one you can. Water moving through a wall cavity, under a tile, or behind a shower lining causes structural damage slowly and silently, and by the time it becomes visible, the repair scope has grown significantly. Gemini Property Maintenance Group provides leak detection and repair in Newport, Melbourne for homeowners, strata managers, and commercial property owners who need the source found accurately before any repair work begins. We are a registered builder (DBU70140), certified waterproofers, and a family-owned construction business with decades of experience fixing leaks across Melbourne properties.

Why Finding the Source Before Repairing Matters

The most common mistake in leak repair is fixing the wrong thing. Re-grouting a shower that has a failed membrane behind the tiles does not stop the water. Repainting a water-stained ceiling without finding what is leaking above it means the stain comes back. Gemini starts every leak job with a proper detection process, because the repair is only as good as the diagnosis behind it.

Sources we regularly identify during leak detection in Newport properties include:

·Failed shower waterproofing

·Balcony waterproofing failures

·Plumbing joint and pipe failures

·Roof and gutter failures

·Drainage failures

·Sealant failures around fixtures

Once the source is confirmed, Gemini carries out the repair using the appropriate trade, all managed in-house.

How We Carry Out Leak Detection in Newport

Leak detection in Newport properties starts with a visual inspection of the affected area and the areas surrounding it. Water does not always leak directly downward, and the visible damage is often some distance from the actual source. Our team traces the water path and identifies where it is entering the building fabric before recommending any repair work.

Where the source is not immediately clear from inspection, we use additional methods including:

·Water testing of suspect areas to confirm the entry point

·Checking plumbing pressure to identify supply-side leaks

·Assessing drainage flow and ponding patterns on balconies and roofs

·Inspecting roof and gutter condition following rain events

The assessment is honest and straightforward. We tell you what we found, why we think it is the source, and what the repair involves before any work starts.
