Stop That Leak! Clear That Drain!
Have you overlooked a hidden water leak or a gurgling drain in your Adelaide home? Ignoring these early warning signs can lead to foundation erosion, mould growth, and costly structural damage. At Sharpe Trade Services, we specialize in identifying the problems you can’t see before they turn into the emergencies you can’t ignore.
With 30 fully equipped vans on the road and 45 years of experience, we handle everything from minor drips to complex drainage rebuilds across all Adelaide suburbs.
Why Early Detection is Your Best Defence
A “small” leak is rarely small for long. In Adelaide’s reactive clay soils, water escaping from a pipe can cause the ground to swell, putting immense pressure on your home’s foundations.
- Hidden Leaks: Water seeping behind walls or under floors can rot timber frames and attract termites. Our in-house technicians use acoustic leak detection and thermal imaging to pinpoint the source without unnecessarily tearing up your home.
- Blocked Drains: Gurgling toilets or slow-draining sinks are often caused by aggressive tree roots seeking moisture. If left uncleaned, the pressure can cause pipes to crack or sewage to back up into your laundry or bathroom.
- The “Dovetail” Advantage: Because we are a multi-trade company, if a plumbing leak has damaged your electrical wiring or affected your gas hot water system, we don’t need to call a subcontractor. Our plumbers and electricians work together to finish the job quickly and efficiently.

FAQ
Check your water meter before bed and again first thing in the morning (ensure no taps or toilets are used overnight). If the numbers have changed, you have a leak. Other signs include damp patches on walls, a musty smell, or a sudden patch of lush green grass in your yard.
Most liquid drain cleaners are highly corrosive. They can damage older earthenware pipes and rarely remove the “root” cause of the problem, such as tree infiltration or solid obstructions. A professional hydro-jet is safer for your pipes and more effective.
