Leak repairs often fail when the person sent to site is guessing, rushing, or handing the job between people.
With Leak Proofing, Paul comes out himself, checks the source, explains the repair, and stands behind the work. You are dealing with the person responsible for the result.
- Paul is the licensed plumber on site
- No apprentice sent to diagnose difficult leaks
- Clear explanation before work starts
- Same-leak guarantee

About
“Most leaks aren't complicated. They're just hidden. I've been finding them in Melbourne homes for 8 years. If I can't fix it, no plumber can.”

Common questions
Things people ask before they call.
Can't find your question? Just call - we'll answer.
Will Paul come out himself?
Yes. Leak Proofing is owner-run, and Paul handles the inspection himself. You are not sent an apprentice to diagnose a difficult leak.
How fast can you get to my Melbourne home?
For urgent leaks, Paul aims to get there the same day where possible. Non-urgent repairs are booked as soon as the schedule allows.
How much does a leak repair cost?
It depends on the source and severity. The on-site quote is free, and we'll give you a clear price before starting any work. No surprises, no call-out fee.
What should I do while I wait for you to arrive?
Turn off your water main if the leak is from a pipe. Place towels or a bucket under the drip. Don't try to fix it yourself - you might make it worse. Call us and we'll walk you through it.
What if the same leak comes back?
We guarantee our work. If the same leak returns, we come back and fix it - free of charge.
Which suburbs in Melbourne do you cover?
All of Melbourne - we regularly work across Brunswick, Coburg, Reservoir, Preston, Northcote, Campbellfield, Pascoe Vale, Carlton, Fitzroy, Thornbury, Essendon and Moonee Ponds. Outside that radius, just call and we'll let you know.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes - fully licensed plumber, public liability insurance in place. Required by Victorian regulation, and the right thing to do.
