Melbourne's shower leak specialists
At After Hours Plumbing Melbourne, we take a high-tech approach to diagnosing shower leaks. Using advanced thermal imaging cameras, we can pinpoint not only the exact source of the leak but also track where water is travelling beneath tiles. Areas often invisible to the naked eye. We begin by visually inspecting the shower for common issues, followed by pressure testing pipes and fittings to detect hidden leaks. The thermal imaging camera then highlights moisture paths under tiles, allowing us to identify areas of water damage that could lead to further problems if left untreated.
Why that shower leak can't wait
What starts as a tiny drip behind your shower wall slowly soaks into your home's structure. Before you know it, that small leak silently drives up your water bills while creating the perfect environment for toxic mold growth. In Melbourne's climate, it doesn't take long for moisture to compromise your home's structural integrity, potentially leading to repairs costing thousands.
Health risks you can't see
That musty smell isn't just unpleasant, it's a warning sign. Hidden moisture creates perfect conditions for mold growth, which can trigger serious respiratory issues for your family.
Damp conditions are also perfect for termites.

What people say about After Hours Plumbing
I am very happy with Nathan’s quality work and his service. He was incredibly prompt, arriving shortly after I reached out about a pipe leakage issue in my house. His customer service was top-notch, he kept me informed every step of the way, explaining the process and ensuring I understood what needed to be done.Not only did he fix the pipe leakage with diligence and great attention to quality, but he also helped me with my kitchen tap while he was here and resolved it on the spot! Additionally, he provided me with a reasonable quote for replacing my aging hot water system, which I’ll definitely consider in the near future.I highly recommend Nathan for anyone looking for professional, reliable, reasonable and efficient plumbing services.Great work Nathan!
We have no hesitation in recommending Nathan. His work was thorough, professional and meticulous. He clearly takes great pride in his work. Our 24 year old hot water service died and Nathan was able to replace it the next day. He arranged purchase and delivery of the new heater and removal of the old hot water service. He is an excellent communicator and kept us in the loop re: arrival time etc.Thanks Nathan, Peter and Yvonne.
Twice we had Nath Schofield to do our projects. One to fit an outdoor sink for my outdor kitchen and next to fix the irrigation system for our garden. He did an amazing job and I highly recommend his services to anyone. He is very professional, knowledgeable and you will be very happy & contented with his neat work.
