Types of leaks we handle

Six categories, with honest price ranges for each.

water_drop

Visible pipe leak (PVC, ABS)

RM 150–300. Accessible run, ≤1m of replacement pipe.

plumbing

Visible pipe leak (copper)

RM 250–450. Solder or compression fitting repair.

wall

Hidden pipe leak (in wall)

RM 450–1,200+. Detection + opening + repair + basic re-skim. Tile reinstatement quoted separately.

foundation

Concealed slab leak

RM 800–2,500+. Most expensive category because access often requires breaking and reinstating floor finish. Flooring not included.

roofing

Roof leak / waterproofing

RM 350–2,000. Acrylic, polyurethane, or cement-based depending on substrate and exposure.

water_damage

Drain pipe leak

RM 200–600. Usually accessible from cabinet underside.

How we detect concealed leaks

Four detection methods. Written summary and fixed repair quote before any opening up.

thermostat

Thermal imaging

Water-affected surfaces have different thermal signatures. We scan the suspected area with a FLIR camera and locate the leak's heat footprint, usually within 10–20cm.

hearing

Acoustic detection

Pressurised pipe leaks produce sound at specific frequencies. Acoustic listening equipment lets us hear them through walls and floors.

speed

Pressure test

If the leak is suspected but the location is unclear, we pressurise the line and monitor pressure drop to confirm and bracket the leak's location.

colorize

Visual + dye test

For drain leaks, we run dye-tracked water and observe where it appears.

Detection fee RM 150–250. We give you a written summary of findings and a quote for the repair before any opening up.

Our process

Five steps from diagnosis to warranty.

01

Diagnose

Visual inspection, then detection equipment if concealed.

02

Quote

Written, fixed price for the detected scope. If we open up and find materially different scope, we stop and re-quote.

03

Repair

Replace the failed section, pressure test, restore service.

04

Basic re-skim

Opened wall sections get a basic plaster/skim ready for paint.

05

Warranty

30 days on the specific repair point.

When it's an emergency

Some leaks aren't urgent — a slow drip from a tap can wait days. Others are: any active flow that's spreading, anything affecting your downstairs neighbour, anything near electrical (sockets, DB box), or anything in a strata building where the JMB will fine you for tenant damage.

For emergencies, message us — we'll triage on WhatsApp and tell you the real ETA. AMC Gold clients get a 2-hour SLA; others get the next available slot or a holding measure we walk you through over the phone (shut-off valve location, towel placement, electrical safety).

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Thermal imaging detects temperature differences caused by water; acoustic listening detects pressurised pipe leaks by sound. Combined, they let us pinpoint within 10–20cm before opening anything up — meaning we cut a tile-sized hole, not a wall section.

Diagnostic patterns

Common leak problems by symptom

Five recurring leak patterns we diagnose. Each has a different detection approach and a different price range.

wall

Paip pecah dalam dinding

Burst pipe inside wall

Thermal imaging plus acoustic detection locates the pipe before opening. Detection RM 150-250, repair RM 450-1,200+ including basic re-skim (full tiling/painting is a separate trade).

faucet

Tap bocor

Tap leaking

Worn cartridge or seal. Basin tap replacement RM 160-330 total. Kitchen mixer RM 250-600 total. Shower mixer RM 320-980 depending on diverter complexity.

wc

Tandas bocor

Toilet leaking

Flush valve mechanism (RM 120-240 repair), tank-to-bowl seal, angle valve, or full toilet seat/bowl replacement (RM 110-250 seat, RM 600-1,800 full bowl).

water_drop

Pancuran air rendah

Low water pressure

Either supply-side (Air Selangor schedule, building booster) or property-side (clogged shower head, broken pressure regulator, pinhole leak draining pressure). Diagnostic walks through each.

opacity

Air berkarat

Rusty water

Galvanised iron riser at end of life — the standard fix is GI-to-PPR or copper repipe, not patching. Full single-storey terrace repipe typically 1 day.
