A hotel loses money two ways on a leak: the water, and the room that cannot be sold while it is wet. The second is usually the larger number.
Work is scheduled around occupancy and done discreetly. Wider scope at Leak Detection Cape Town.

- Stacked bathroom cores - rooms sit above one another, so a failed shower membrane travels down several floors.
- Shared risers in the service duct serving a whole column of rooms.
- Laundry and kitchen plant, running near-continuously with fittings under constant load.
- Pool and spa circuits, where top-up masks the loss entirely.
- Roof, parapet and balcony failures reaching top-floor rooms.
- Irrigation on the grounds, running overnight where nobody sees it.
Working Around Guests
Overnight testing gives the cleanest readings, since the building is closest to rest and the acoustic background is quietest. Room access is arranged block by block around housekeeping. Detection is non-invasive throughout, so nothing is opened until the location is confirmed and the room can be taken offline deliberately.

These are indicative market ranges, not a quotation. They are compiled from published South African leak detection and plumbing pricing to give you a starting point for budgeting. They are not the rate card of any company on this platform.
Ask for the loss in kilolitres per day and convert it at your tariff step. On a property drawing at the top of the City's stepped tariff, a modest continuous leak funds the detection several times over in a month.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be done without closing rooms?
Detection itself is non-invasive and needs only brief access. Rooms come offline at the repair stage, once the location is confirmed, which is precisely why locating it first matters commercially.
Our water account has climbed but occupancy has not. Why?
Most often a continuous loss that occupancy figures hide: a passing cistern in a rarely used room, an irrigation solenoid, or pool top-up covering a shell leak. Overnight meter testing separates the base loss from guest usage.
How quickly can a wet room be back in service?
That depends on the repair and the drying time, not the detection. Where a shower membrane has failed the bathroom is out for the strip and re-waterproof, so plan around the works rather than the diagnosis.
