Two Decades of Local Plumbing Experience

Nundah's Trusted Leak Detection Team

For more than 20 years, Nundah Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Nundah track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our technicians know the character homes around Nundah Village through to the newer builds further out, and understand exactly where leaks tend to hide in these properties. We rely on acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to locate a leak's source accurately, without smashing through tiles or digging up your yard unnecessarily. That local knowledge, paired with genuine technical expertise, is why so many residents call us first when their water bill doesn't add up.

Suspect a Hidden Leak?

Nundah Leak Detection Without the Guesswork

A dripping tap is easy enough to spot, but a leak hidden behind a wall, beneath a concrete slab or under the lawn can go unnoticed for months while it quietly damages your home. At Nundah Plumbing & Drains, we use acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact location of a leak before any digging or wall cutting begins. Homeowners and business owners throughout Nundah and greater Brisbane rely on us to find pipe leaks, slab leaks and underground main leaks accurately the first time.

If you've noticed a spiking water bill, damp patches on the ceiling or a musty smell in one particular room, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Call our Nundah team and we'll send a technician out to assess the situation, locate the source of the leak and talk you through the most sensible repair option. Whether it's an older Queenslander with copper pipework or a newer build on a concrete slab, we have the tools and experience to find the leak quickly.

Could a Hidden Leak Be Costing You?

Signs You May Have an Undetected Water Leak

Not every leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we're called out to find in Nundah are hidden inside walls, under floors or beneath the slab, and the only clue is a water bill that doesn't make sense or a patch of lawn that never seems to dry out. Left alone, these hidden leaks can lead to mould, warped flooring, damaged foundations and a far larger repair bill than if they'd been caught early.

If your water meter keeps ticking over even when every tap in the house is switched off, or you've noticed a warm patch on the tiles, a musty smell in a cupboard, or ceiling staining with no obvious cause, there's a good chance you've got a leak that needs professional attention. Pinhole leaks in ageing copper hot water pipes and cracked poly fittings underground are two of the most common culprits we find in local homes.

The good news is that most of these issues can be located without invasive digging or demolition, provided the right equipment and experience are used from the outset.

    How We Locate Your Leak

    Nundah Plumbing & Drains's Leak Detection Solution for Nundah Homes

    Nundah Plumbing & Drains combines acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to find the exact location of a leak before any work begins. This means less disruption to your home and a faster path to getting the problem properly fixed.

    • Ground microphones and correlators to pinpoint pressurised leaks in mains, copper and poly pipework
    • Thermal camera scans to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Isolation and meter testing to confirm whether a high water bill is caused by a leak
    • Pinhole leak location in ageing copper hot water lines
    • Written leak detection reports with photos, suitable for insurers and restoration companies

    Once we've marked the exact source of the leak, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch, a section replacement or a broader repipe, so you can make an informed decision backed by fixed, upfront pricing.

      Common Questions

      Leak Detection FAQs

      Leak detection can feel like a bit of a mystery if you've never dealt with it before, so we've answered some of the questions we hear most often from Nundah homeowners. If you can't find what you're looking for below, give our team a call and we'll happily talk you through it.

      We rely on non-invasive methods wherever possible, including acoustic listening devices, ground microphones and thermal imaging cameras. These tools let us listen for the sound of pressurised water escaping or trace temperature changes caused by a leak, meaning we can usually pinpoint the source before any digging or demolition takes place. Once the leak is marked, we discuss the most sensible way to access and repair it with as little disruption as possible.
      Slab leaks often show up as a warm or damp patch on the flooring, a musty smell in a room with no obvious source, or unexplained cracking in tiles or walls. Some homeowners also notice their water meter still running when every tap and appliance is switched off. Because these leaks sit beneath the concrete, they aren't always obvious straight away, which is why it's worth having them checked as soon as something feels off.
      Yes, this is one of the most common reasons we're called out. We start with an isolation test on your water meter to see whether it's still moving with everything turned off, then narrow down whether the issue is a leaking toilet, an underground main, irrigation or something else entirely. This process helps rule out simple explanations before we go looking for a more hidden leak.
      We do. Where a leak has caused damage you're looking to claim on insurance, we provide a written report with photos and the exact location of the leak clearly marked. This kind of documentation is often what insurers and restoration companies need to assess a claim and get repair work approved.
      Pinhole leaks in copper pipework are usually caused by pitting corrosion that develops over time, particularly in older hot water systems. Water chemistry, pipe age and even the quality of the original installation can all play a role. Once one section starts pitting, it's common for others nearby to follow, which is why we often check the wider system rather than just patching the one visible leak.
      This comes down to understanding where the water is actually coming from and how the different systems in your home connect. We look at factors like whether the water is clean or has an odour, where it's pooling, and how it behaves during rain compared to normal use, alongside CCTV inspection where needed. Getting this distinction right matters, because a stormwater or sewer issue needs a different approach to a leaking water pipe.
