We've handled everything from pinhole leaks in ageing copper hot water lines to slab leaks hiding beneath concrete floors. That depth of hands-on experience means we can usually diagnose the problem faster and with far less disruption to your property than guesswork ever could.

Noticed a Spike in Your Water Bill? We Can Help

Glengarrie Plumbing & Drains provides comprehensive leak detection across Glengarrie and the wider Brisbane region, using acoustic listening, thermal imaging and tracer gas methods to find leaks hiding in walls, under slabs and along underground mains. Whether it's a mysterious wet patch on the lawn, a spinning water meter or damp creeping up an internal wall, our licensed plumbers can trace the source and recommend the right fix. We back every job with upfront fixed pricing and a lifetime workmanship guarantee, so you know exactly what you're paying before any work begins.

If you've spotted signs of a hidden leak in your Glengarrie home or business, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Small leaks can quietly damage foundations, timber flooring and plasterboard long before they become visible. Give our friendly team a call and we'll arrange a technician to locate the leak, explain what's involved and get it repaired properly the first time.

Common Warning Signs

Could You Have a Hidden Water Leak?

Hidden water leaks rarely announce themselves. Many Glengarrie property owners only discover a problem after noticing an unusually high water bill, a damp patch on the ceiling or ground, or the faint sound of running water when every tap is switched off. Left unchecked, even a small pinhole leak in a copper hot water line or a cracked poly pipe under the slab can lead to swelling timber floors, mould growth and structural damage over time.

Some leaks are more obvious, such as a burst pipe or a failing hot water system, while others hide behind walls, under concrete slabs or along the mains running from your water meter to the house. Sewer and stormwater issues can also be mistaken for a water leak, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters before anyone starts digging or opening up walls.

If you've noticed soggy patches in the yard, peeling paint, a musty smell in a particular room or a water meter that keeps ticking over with everything turned off, it's worth having a licensed plumber investigate before the damage spreads further.

    Our Solution

    Precision Leak Detection From Glengarrie Plumbing & Drains in Glengarrie

    Glengarrie Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven detection methods to locate leaks accurately, so repairs target only the affected section of pipe. Rather than guessing or opening up multiple areas of a property, our technicians use specialised equipment to confirm exactly where a leak sits before any repair work begins.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to trace pressurised water escaping mains, copper and poly pipes
    • Thermal camera leak location to trace hot and cold water trails hidden in walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Slab and under-house leak detection for concrete floors and timber flooring, without random digging
    • Non-invasive tracer gas methods for plastic pipe or sites where acoustic testing is inconclusive
    • Meter-to-house pressure testing and written insurance leak detection reports with photos and marked locations

    Once we've confirmed the source, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a patch repair, section replacement, or a broader repipe for older, pitted copper lines. Every leak detection job in Glengarrie comes with clear communication and a fixed price, so there are no surprises once the work is complete.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Leak detection can raise plenty of questions, especially if you're dealing with an unexplained water bill or damp patch for the first time. Our team has put together answers to some of the questions we hear most often from Glengarrie home and business owners.

      Common signs include a noticeably higher water bill without any change in usage, a water meter that keeps spinning when every tap and appliance is switched off, damp or musty patches on walls, ceilings or flooring, and unexplained wet areas in the yard or driveway. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth having a licensed plumber investigate before the leak causes further damage to your property.
      Not necessarily. We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras and tracer gas methods to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any digging or demolition takes place. This non-invasive approach means we can often confirm the source of the problem and open up only the specific section that needs repair, rather than searching blindly.
      Yes, slab leaks are one of the more common issues we investigate. They often show up as warm patches on the floor, unexplained water usage, or a musty smell in a particular room. Using acoustic and thermal equipment, we can trace the leak's location beneath the slab without resorting to random jackhammering.
      Ageing copper hot water pipes are prone to pitting and pinhole leaks over time, which is why hot water leak detection often uncovers issues in older plumbing systems. Ground movement, tree root intrusion, corrosion and general wear on poly, PEX or galvanised pipework can also lead to leaks developing gradually, often without any obvious signs until the damage becomes more significant.
      Yes, once we've located a leak we can provide a written report with photos and marked locations that your insurer or restoration company can use to process a claim. This documentation helps confirm the source of the leak and supports any repair or restoration work that follows.
      Water leaks come from your drinking water supply, whereas sewer leaks involve wastewater and stormwater issues relate to rain and surface drainage. Each requires a different approach, which is why it's important to have a plumber correctly diagnose the source before any repair work begins, so the right team and equipment are used for the job.
