Signs You’ve Got a Leak
Most water leaks don't start with a massive flood; they start quietly behind a wall or under your floor. By the time you actually see water, the damage is already well underway.
If you notice any of the following, it’s time to stop guessing and get a professional plumber to take a look:
The "Hissing" Sound
You can hear water running or a faint whistling sound even when every tap in the house is tightly shut.
Warm Spots on the Floor
If you’re walking across your kitchen or lounge barefoot and feel a sudden warm patch on the tiles, you likely have a hot water leak under the concrete slab.
The Spinning Meter
Take a look at your water meter. If the little dial is turning while no one is using water, you’re literally watching money go down the drain.
Damp Patches or Mould
Mysterious wet spots on the carpet, bubbling paint on the skirting boards, or a sudden musty smell are all signs that water is escaping where it shouldn't.
Cracked Paving or Extra Green Grass
If one patch of your lawn is suddenly much greener than the rest, or your driveway is starting to lift, you probably have a leak in the main line.
Non Invasive Leak Detection Technology
The old school way of finding a leak involved a lot of guesswork and even more holes in the wall. We do things differently. We use advanced leak detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of the break before we even think about picking up a tool.
Acoustic Sonic Imaging
We use ultra sensitive microphones to "listen" through concrete slabs and walls. It allows us to hear the specific frequency of a leak, even if it's buried a metre underground.
Thermal Imaging
Our cameras see what the human eye can't. By detecting temperature differences, we can track hot water leaks behind cabinets or under floors without moving a single piece of furniture.
Common Types of Leaks We Find
Water is stubborn, it will find the path of least resistance and stay there until it causes a mess. Here are the most common causes we deal with around Brisbane:
💦 Under-Slab Leaks
In many modern homes, your pipes are buried right in the concrete foundation. When one of those copper lines develops a pinhole leak, it doesn't just go away. It can wash away the soil under your house, causing the slab to drop or crack.
We find these slab leaks using thermal imaging and acoustics so we can fix them without jackhammering your entire lounge room!
💦 Wall & Cavity Leaks
A tiny drip inside a wall can go unnoticed for months until you see the paint start to bubble or smell mould. These are often caused by a "nicked" pipe or a joint that’s slowly given up.
We pinpoint these internal leaks quickly, meaning we only have to open up a tiny, specific spot to fix it rather than guessing where the pipe runs.
💦 Underground Main Leaks
The pipe running from your water meter at the street to your front door is under constant pressure. If the ground shifts or a tree root gets too close, you can lose thousands of litres of water into the garden without ever seeing a puddle. If your water bill is high but the house is dry, this is usually where the invisible underground leak is hiding.
💦 Bathroom & Shower Leaks
Not every leak is a burst pipe. Sometimes it’s a failed waterproof membrane or a slow leak behind the shower taps.
We can test your water lines to see if it’s a plumbing issue or a sealing issue, saving you from an expensive (and unnecessary) bathroom renovation.
