Landscaping project in Sunshine & underground cable and pipe locating?

Posted by ThreadHunter on July 23, 2026, 11:27 pm

Hi folks! We’re about to start a fairly big backyard landscaping project at our property in Sunshine—putting in a new paved patio and digging post holes for a heavy pergolas structure. Before we start digging up the yard, my partner wants to make 100% sure we don't accidentally strike a hidden water supply pipe or underground utility line. We also suspect there might already be a minor slow leak near our garden bed because the soil stays weirdly wet even in hot weather. Can anyone recommend a solid service for water leak detection melbourne that also does proper underground pipe and cable locating? We really need someone with specialized scanning equipment who covers the Sunshine and Braybrook area to survey the site so we don't end up with a burst pipe emergency mid-renovation!

Smart move checking before you dig! Striking a main water line or hitting hidden cables with a post-hole digger is a total nightmare. When we built our timber deck over in Kensington, we used https://leaksrus.com.au/service-areas/ for a full ground scan. Besides their standard leak detection work, they actually specialize in underground pipe and cable locating using non-invasive scanning technology. They service all across Sunshine, Braybrook, Flemington, and the surrounding suburbs. The tech mapped out our whole underground utility layout, marked the exact line paths on the ground, and even found a tiny weeping joint near our outdoor tap that we didn't know about. Super accurate work and saved us from a massive potential repair bill!
