Outstanding service. John was not only quick and professional but also a great communicator. His industry knowledge and experience made finding a very tricky water leak easy. Highly recommended.

Prompt service. Didn’t need a report as a conversation with John was sufficient enough to not warrant a written report in this case.

Great report from John. Real thorough and communication is excellent. Easy to talk to and explains everything really well. Would highly recommend.

Very thorough.

John thank you for your support in finding the source of the leaks in my caravan, unfortunately I cannot persuade the repair company to take any responsibility, even after they were paid to reseal the van twice over the last 18 months. Again my sincere and grateful thanks to you for your Expert assistance.

I would recommend John Pope of Detect A Leak without hesitation. We have used his services twice and would definitely use him again. John went the extra mile to explain the technical aspects of his reports and building condition to me. John fitted in with our urgent date and changed his plans to accommodate us. A poorly written or inaccurate building report can be damaging for both purchaser and vendor, if you choose John Pope I can vouch that you are in good hands.

John was great, he responded promptly and carried out a very thorough inspection. John’s inspection identified water penetration and high risk exterior cladding type in the house we were looking to purchase. I firmly believe he saved us making a big mistake purchasing a leaky building.

John Pope was great to deal with, explained to me in detail of areas of concern. We were very grateful for the fast service and the depth of his inspection. I was able to ask questions and he was so professional and helpful.

Google helped us find a company to look at a growing mould patch on our bathroom roof. Detect a Leak had an easy to follow website and I filled in the enquiry form and received a response soon after. John came out in person the next day and was polite and professional. He helped pin point the problem so we knew who to approach to get it fixed. Thanks John!

John replied to my email promptly and when we decided to go ahead with the work it was carried out within a week. John was very thorough, knowledgeable and happy to advise us on any areas of concern. The inspection took about 3 hours and I was impressed how he methodically tested and photographed all areas. Once we had paid the account the 38 page report was emailed within 4–5 days. We thoroughly recommend Detect a Leak as an efficient and comprehensive procedure.

Highly recommended. We engaged John to do a pre-purchase inspection on a potential leaky home. He was incredibly thorough and his combination of practical knowledge, moisture readings and thermal imaging provided us with very useful information allowing us to obtain estimates for work from a builder. Would certainly use again in the future.

John performed a focused examination and provided a likely reason for high moisture readings, and practical solutions. The photos (digital and infrared) are related to the areas being assessed and clearly identify readings and site. This makes a useful adjunct to the builder’s report.

I was very impressed with John’s knowledge and experience. Not only did he look at the fault I called him in for but he also did a thorough inspection of my house. He was able to explain the issue and the potential remedial action in layman terms. His report was thorough (with photos and images) and very professional. I would highly recommend John.

John is excellent and I would highly recommend him. I met John onsite, he was very thorough and provided commentary all the way through to ensure I understood the process and any areas of concern.

Examined leak in aluminium joinery. Quickly identified localised cause of leak, and proceeded to conduct an in depth examination of construction and possible problems which may arise in the future — his knowledge and corresponding report was both persuasive and impressive.

John is very knowledgeable and very good at explaining issues or potential issues. The report provided is clear and understandable. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend John. I have used him twice in the past month. He is very knowledgeable with regard to building construction and weather tightness issues. The report was very comprehensive. While on site, John was doing a lot of explanation on his findings — not just saying what the issue was, but how to rectify it. I found John to be very trustworthy, and a generally nice guy.

John was prompt in all respects from initial inquiry to conducting the inspection and providing a report of findings. I was present during the inspection and found him professional, efficient, a clear communicator and educational. Great job John, I won’t hesitate to recommend to others.

Awesome report. This report is well worth completing for any purchase. I will be recommending John to all my clients.

John recently undertook a pre-purchase building inspection. I was grateful that John insisted I be present for the inspection as he pointed out things I needed to be aware of, and gave advice on treatment and maintenance as we walked around the property together. It was obvious to me that John is highly experienced and I appreciated his friendly and frank approach. I have no hesitation in recommending his services to others.

Found John very approachable and knowledgeable with a desire to explain the process being used and the results. An excellent experience and final report.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was a real estate agent for 3 years and never in my time had I seen such a well written, well constructed, hugely detailed report of a home. I extend a huge gratitude to you for all your work. Keep doing what you’re doing. This is wonderful information and was easy for someone like me with limited building knowledge to understand. I read the entire report so I can truly know what we are in for!

Very happy with the comprehensive and professional service that John provided to our kindergarten.

Report is practical, relevant and concise at a reasonable cost. Being present at the inspection provides insights. I am a repeat customer.

Very valuable report — could not have asked for more.

John from Detect-A-Leak did an excellent job, very professional and efficient with follow up report and also great with explaining the process and recommendations for repairs.

John was very thorough in his inspection and reporting on the two jobs he did for us. I would recommend this inspector for any pre-purchase inspection.

I wouldn’t consider using anybody else for building inspections. The quality of work, diligence and knowledge shown by John was outstanding. On one job John found multiple problems in a property that the vendor’s inspector had completely missed. All of his feedback is clear and concise and leaves you in a position to make an informed decision.

John was very thorough and helpful with ideas on how to fix the few problems we had.

Prompt, on time, complete, highlighted important areas, made constructive suggestions and gave us confidence to make an informed offer for the purchase of the property inspected. Would recommend this operator to any prospective house purchaser.

Extremely thorough and professional.
