Caravan Leak Detection in Hobart

Tasmania's wet winters and coastal air are brutal on caravan seals. By the time water damage is visible inside, the damage in the walls, floor or roof is usually significant.

A leak detection inspection catches problems early — while they're still a $200 reseal, not a $10,000 wall rebuild. We inspect on-site and give you a clear written report of what we find.

What's included

Moisture meter testing

Systematic wall, floor and roof testing with a calibrated moisture meter.

Full roof walk and inspection of sealant condition and hardware mounting.

Why it matters

Why this service is worth doing properly

  • Water ingress is the leading cause of insurance write-offs on older Australian caravans.
  • Soft floors, delaminating walls and rotten framework almost always start as a small seal failure.
  • Catching a leak in year one costs a fraction of catching it in year three.

FAQs

Leak Detection & Water Ingress — your questions

How do I know if my caravan has a water leak?+

Look for soft walls, staining, mould, a musty smell or bubbling in the wallpaper. Any of these means it's time for a moisture inspection.

How often should caravan seals be checked?+

Every 12 months, and always before and after long trips. Seals age and shrink over time — especially in Tasmania's UV and cold.

Do you carry out the reseal work as well?+

Yes. We can reseal hatches, windows, awning rails and roof joints on-site, and repair minor water damage. Larger repairs are quoted before we start.
