Frequently Asked Questions

What is RV leak detection?

RV leak detection is a process used to identify where water may be entering a caravan, motorhome or RV. At Spotless RV Leak Detection, we use a specialized pressure testing system to locate even the smallest leaks without causing damage to your vehicle.

How does RV leak detection work?

We gently pressurize your caravan or motorhome and apply a specialized solution to external seals. Air escaping through small gaps creates visible bubbles, allowing us to accurately pinpoint leak locations.

Why is leak detection important for caravans and motorhomes?

Water leaks are one of the most common causes of damage in RVs. If left undetected, leaks can lead to timber rot, mould, internal damage and costly structural repairs.

How long does a leak test take?

Most leak detection inspections take between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the caravan or motorhome.

Do you offer a mobile service?

Yes — Spotless RV Leak Detection is a fully mobile service. We come directly to your home, storage facility or park, so there is no need to move your caravan or motorhome.

What areas do you service?

We service Melbourne and surrounding areas, as well as Geelong, the Surf Coast and regional Victoria.

Can you repair leaks once they are found?

Yes — in many cases we can assist with repairing identified leaks, helping restore the integrity of your caravan or motorhome and prevent further water damage.

Do I need a leak test before buying a caravan?

Yes — a pre-purchase leak inspection is highly recommended. It can identify hidden water damage or active leaks before you commit to buying, potentially saving you thousands in repairs.

How often should I have my caravan or motorhome checked for leaks?

Regular inspections are recommended, particularly before and after long trips, or at least annually to ensure seals remain in good condition.

Will leak detection damage my caravan or motorhome?

No — our pressure testing method is safe and non-invasive. It does not require dismantling any parts of your RV.

What happens after the inspection?

You will receive clear information on any leaks found, including their location and recommended next steps. If repairs are required, we can discuss suitable options with you.

How do I book an inspection?

You can contact Spotless RV Leak Detection by phone or through our website to arrange a convenient time. As a mobile service, we come to you.
