Water Meter Still Spinning Perth
No taps on — but your meter won’t stop ticking? We’ll sniff out the cause.
A constantly spinning water meter is often the first sign of an unseen leak. Whether it’s a slow underground seep or a gushing burst behind a wall, our licensed leak detection plumbers in Perth can find and fix the problem fast — using the right tools and experience.
We don’t just inspect and leave. At Plumbdog, we offer leak detection and licensed plumbing repair in the same visit — saving you time, hassle, and return callout fees.
Why Is My Water Meter Still Running?
Some of the most common reasons your water meter may be spinning:
- Hidden leak in a pipe under concrete or lawn
- Constant flow through a leaking tap or cistern
- Burst pipe behind walls or ceilings
- Faulty reticulation system or solenoid
- Mains pipe damage between the meter and your home
What Happens On Site
We start with a short walkthrough of your property and meter. Based on the layout and water line configuration, your Plumbdog will provide a fixed-price quote for leak detection.
If you approve, we’ll get to work right away — using acoustic detectors, pressure testing, and thermal imaging where required. If we find the leak and it’s something we can repair on the spot, we’ll quote and fix then and there — no third party needed.
If you don’t go ahead, you’ll only be charged the standard $125 site visit fee.

FAQs – Water Meter Spinning
Not always — but in most cases, yes. If your taps and retic are off and the dial still spins, it’s usually water escaping somewhere it shouldn’t.
We’re licensed plumbers, not just “detectors” — so in most cases, we can quote and repair during the same visit.
If we detect and repair a hidden leak, we can provide paperwork to support your case with Water Corp — just ask us on site.
This is common. Water may be escaping underground or into a wall cavity. That’s why professional detection is crucial.
Usually between 1–2 hours depending on access and property size. We’ll always provide a clear estimate before starting.
