Noticed Something Isn't Right?

Common Signs of a Hidden Water Leak

A hidden leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe. More often it shows up as a damp patch on the lawn that never dries out, a musty smell in a particular room, or tiles that feel warmer or cooler than the rest of the floor. These are classic signs of a slab leak or an in-wall pipe leak, and they tend to worsen the longer they're left unchecked.

An unexplained jump in your water bill, a water meter that keeps ticking over even when every tap is off, or ceiling stains that reappear after painting are also worth investigating. Left alone, a leaking pipe under a concrete slab or behind plasterboard can undermine footings, encourage mould growth and turn a straightforward repair into a much larger, more disruptive job.

If any of this sounds familiar, it's worth arranging a professional leak detection assessment before the damage spreads further through your home or business.

    Our Solution

    How Narangba Plumbing & Drains Finds Leaks in Narangba Without Guesswork

    Rather than randomly opening walls or jackhammering slabs, our team follows a structured, technology-led approach to leak detection. We listen, test and map before a single tile or brick is disturbed, which keeps repairs targeted and your property intact.

    • Acoustic listening devices to hear pressurised water escaping in mains, copper and poly pipes
    • Thermal imaging cameras to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Isolation and pressure testing to confirm whether a leak sits before or after the water meter
    • Tracer gas methods for plastic pipe or noisy sites where acoustic detection alone isn't conclusive
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations for insurers or restoration teams

    Once the leak is located and marked, we discuss your repair options in plain language, from a simple patch repair to pipe relining or a section replacement, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

      Locate & Mark

      Acoustic, thermal and tracer gas methods pinpoint the exact leak position, which we mark clearly before any opening up.

      3

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection Questions From Narangba Homeowners

      Leak detection can feel unfamiliar if you've never needed it before, so we've answered some of the questions we hear most often from Narangba homeowners and business owners. If your question isn't covered here, our team is happy to talk you through it over the phone.

      The most common signs are a water meter that keeps moving when every tap and appliance is switched off, an unexplained rise in your water usage, a damp or unusually green patch in the yard, or musty smells and stains appearing on walls and ceilings. Some leaks under a slab also create warm patches on tiled floors if they're coming from a hot water line. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth having a professional leak detection assessment before the issue causes further damage.
      In most cases, yes. We rely on non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any excavation or demolition begins. This means we can usually mark the precise spot to open up, rather than guessing and causing unnecessary damage to your tiles, garden or driveway.
      A slab leak occurs in the plumbing running underneath your concrete foundation, often showing up as a warm patch on the floor, a musty smell, or a spike in your water bill. An in-wall leak usually involves a riser, shower mixer or cavity pipe, and tends to show as damp plaster, bubbling paint or water tracking down to skirting boards. Both need a different detection approach, which is why we assess the property first before choosing the right method.
      Yes, we can provide a written leak detection report that includes photos and the marked location of the leak, along with our findings on the likely cause. This kind of documentation is often required by insurers and restoration companies before they'll approve or begin repair work, so we make sure the report is clear and easy for all parties to act on.
      Older copper hot water lines can develop small pitted holes over time due to water chemistry, pipe age or manufacturing inconsistencies from certain eras. These pinhole leaks are often hard to spot because they can be slow and hidden within a wall or under a slab. Once we locate a pinhole leak, we'll talk you through whether a section replacement, patch repair or broader repipe is the most sensible long-term fix.
      We do both. Once we've pinpointed the source of the leak, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot in many cases, whether that's a patch repair, valve replacement or a section of pipe relining. If the fix is more involved, we'll explain your options clearly so you can decide how you'd like to proceed, and we stand behind every repair with our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
