Recent utility surveys indicate buried leaks are prevalent: Water Corporation discovered that almost 15% of homes have a leak on any given day and that approximately 30% of households experience any type of plumbining leak at least annually. The majority of the water sector recognises that early detection results in a considerable cost reduction downstream in repairs and water loss — coordinated leak programs typically return several saving dollars for every spent dollar detecting leaks and acting to repair them.” Water Corporation
If you see any of these signs, take note — undetected leaks can lead to structural damage, a weakening foundation or health problems such as mould growth.

Don’t Let a Leak Turn Into a Disaster
Common Leak Problems We Fix
- Bathroom & Shower Leaks Here are some of the more frequent and harmful. Poor waterproofing, eroded grout and corroding pipes often result in silent leaks that quietly spread into walls and floors.
- Underground Water Leaks Hard to detect without equipment. Indications are splotchy wet patches on the ground, water pooling or a surprisingly lush area of grass.
- Roof & Gutter Leaks Very often associated with big Brisbane storms. Our inspection equipment finds exactly where the leak is taking place.
- Burst Pipe or Split Pipe Leaks Commonly, as a result of age, corrosion or soil movement. We figure out what the problem is, and we fix it.
- Hot Water System Leaks Slow leaks that deteriorate over time can be the result of pressure, age or a faulty valve.
The Leak Detection Process
- Inspection & Diagnosis We kick things off with a conversation about what’s been on your mind, followed by some diagnostics – thermal imaging, acoustic listening, pressure checks, or CCTV (depending on what kind of leak we’re talking about).
- Confirming the Leak Location We employ several methods to avoid guessing your precise location, and we want to save you money on unnecessary repairs.
- Providing a Clear Explanation & Quote We take you through what we found — and what your options are to fix it, with all pricing upfront.
- Repairs or Next Steps In some cases, we can fix the problem right away or get a date down at your convenience for the work.
- Final Testing & Reporting We re-test to make sure there are no more issues - and supply a report for your records.

Any Questions?
Everything You Need to Know—Answered.
Leak detection damaging my walls or floors?
No, and that is the biggest misconception. Current Leak Detection is Typically Non-invasive. Using tools such as acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging, moisture meters, tracer gas and more, experts can find leaks from the outside with no drilling until they are sure of the exact spot.
How can I have a professional find and fix it instead of spending time searching myself?
Because hidden leaks are tricky. You may see the wet patch; however, the leak may be metres away from that point. A pro can identify the source with pinpoint accuracy, so you’re not left guessing, and won’t have to spring for speculative repairs or replacements.
What if the leak is inside a wall, or it’s under concrete? Can you still find it?
Yes. There are gear and athletes designed exactly for that. Thermal imaging can spot temperature changes behind walls, acoustic instruments hear water moving underground, and tracer gas reveals even the smallest pinhole leaks under concrete.
Would the repair for the leak be included in the same visit?
I see a lot of companies that offer this find-and-fix service. Depending on how it was discovered, minor leaks may sometimes be fixed on the spot as soon as the detection is complete. They’ll provide you with a quote for bigger plumbing repairs and get the job scheduled in no time, so they can quickly respond, not leave you hanging.
What if I don’t do anything about a small leak for the time being?
A small leak can turn into a larger one. It can cause mould, ruin foundations, bulging walls and exorbitant bills. The best way to avoid it is early detection, and this will help keep your home safe from long-term damage.
