Booking, Payment & Service Terms.
Clear terms so there are no surprises. Read these before booking.
Booking & Payment Policy
Bookings are confirmed only once upfront payment reflects. Payment is required before technicians can be dispatched. Emergency and after-hours bookings may require full advance payment.

Pricing Conditions
Final pricing may vary depending on property size, accessibility, pipe complexity, multiple leaks, concealed infrastructure, testing duration and the diagnostic methods required.
Non-Invasive Testing
We prioritise non-destructive testing wherever reasonably possible. Certain conditions may require limited exploratory access or exposure of plumbing infrastructure to confirm leak locations.
Insurance Reports
Insurance reports are factual diagnostic findings only and are not engineering certificates. Acceptance of claims remains solely at the discretion of the insurer.
Limitation of Liability
The Leak Detection Guru shall not be liable for concealed defects, inaccessible infrastructure, municipal faults, intermittent leaks, secondary failures, water loss, delayed repairs or indirect damages. Findings are based on observable evidence and testing conditions present during inspection.
