Common signs include:

Higher than normal water bills

Damp patches on walls or ceilings

Mould or musty smells

Warm patches on floors

Water meter spinning when nothing is running

If you’re unsure, we can perform a controlled meter test.

We use specialised leak detection equipment including:

Acoustic listening devices

Thermal imaging cameras

Tracer gas

Pressure testing

Our goal is always to locate the leak precisely before excavating.

Yes.
We are licensed plumbers — not just leak locators. Once located, we can usually repair the leak same day.

Yes.
We regularly locate:

Under-slab water line leaks

Internal slab leaks

Heated slab issues

We use non-invasive methods to narrow down the area before any cutting is done.

Common causes in SE Queensland include:

Tree root intrusion

Ground movement

Pipe corrosion

Poor previous installation

High water pressure.

A hidden underground leak can run continuously without visible signs.
Even a small pinhole leak can waste thousands of litres per week.

Yes.
We carry specialised gas detection equipment and can pressure test gas lines in accordance with Australian Standards.

If you smell gas, call immediately.

Acoustic detection uses high-sensitivity listening devices to hear the sound of water escaping under pressure.

It works well for underground water services.

Tracer gas detection involves:

Introducing a safe, non-toxic gas into the pipe

Using sensitive equipment to detect where it escapes

It’s particularly effective for slab and retaining wall leaks.

No.
Our process is systematic — we narrow down the location first so excavation is minimal and targeted.

Yes.
We can provide clear documentation, photos and testing results to assist with insurance assessments.

Yes.
We locate:

Internal wall leaks

Shower leaks

Bathroom membrane failures

Burst copper inside cavities

We prioritise active water loss and internal flooding.
Same-day attendance is often available in Logan and Brisbane Southside.

Proper detection saves money.
Random digging and trial-and-error repairs often cost more than a systematic detection process.

Leak detection requires specific training and equipment.
We are frequently called in after unsuccessful attempts by others.
