Don't Ignore a Hidden Leak

Call Cornubia Plumbing & Drains for Leak Detection in Cornubia

A hidden leak rarely stays hidden for long. What starts as a small drip behind a wall or beneath a slab can quietly damage timber flooring, lift tiles, feed mould growth and push your water bill up month after month. Cornubia Plumbing & Drains offers dedicated leak detection across Cornubia and greater Logan, using acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to find the exact source of the problem before we recommend a repair.

Whether you've noticed a damp patch on the lawn, a spinning water meter, or a musty smell in a room that won't go away, our team can get to the bottom of it. We work on homes, units and commercial properties throughout Cornubia and the wider Logan area. If something doesn't feel right with your water usage or you've spotted early warning signs, pick up the phone and speak with one of our leak detection specialists today.

Facing a Water Leak?

Signs Your Cornubia Property Has a Hidden Leak

Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a flood across the kitchen floor. Many leaks develop slowly beneath concrete slabs, inside wall cavities or along the line that runs from your water meter to the house, staying hidden until the damage is already done.

Common warning signs include a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap is off, unusually high water bills with no obvious explanation, warm patches on tiled floors, or musty smells and soft plaster around bathrooms and laundries. Left unchecked, these leaks can lead to structural timber rot, mould growth, lifted flooring and even foundation movement in older Cornubia homes.

Pool leaks, stormwater seepage and sewer smells can look similar to a water supply leak but need a different approach entirely. Getting the diagnosis right the first time means the correct trade is sent out, saving you from unnecessary excavation or repairs that don't address the actual cause.

    Our Solution

    How Cornubia Plumbing & Drains Locates Leaks Across Cornubia

    Cornubia Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven technology and hands-on experience to find leaks other plumbers might miss. Rather than guessing or opening up walls and floors on a hunch, we narrow down the leak's location first, so any repair work is targeted and minimal.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to hear pressurised water escaping through mains, copper and poly pipe
    • Thermal imaging cameras to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Hot water copper pinhole location for older, corrosion-prone copper pipework
    • Non-invasive tracer gas testing on plastic pipework and noisy sites where acoustic methods alone aren't conclusive
    • Slab and under-house leak detection to avoid random digging through concrete or timber floors

    Once we've marked the leak's exact position, we'll talk you through the most practical repair option, whether that's a patch repair, section replacement, pipe relining or a broader repipe. Cornubia Plumbing & Drains can also provide a written leak detection report with photos for insurance and restoration purposes.

      Our Process

      How Our Leak Detection Service Works

      We follow a clear, methodical process on every leak detection job across Cornubia, so you always know what's happening and why. It starts with listening to your concerns, moves through precise location using specialist equipment, and finishes with a straightforward recommendation for repair.

      1

      Initial Inspection & Diagnosis

      We start by asking about your water bill, damp patches or damage, then carry out a visual inspection and isolation test to narrow down the likely area.

      2

      Precise Leak Location

      Using acoustic sensors, thermal cameras or tracer gas, we pinpoint the exact spot the leak is coming from before any digging or demolition begins.

      3

      Repair & Confirmation

      Once the leak is marked, we complete the repair and re-test the line to confirm the problem is fully resolved.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection FAQs

      Leak detection can raise a lot of questions, especially when you're unsure what's causing a damp patch or a high water bill. Here are some of the questions we're asked most often by Cornubia home and business owners, answered by our experienced team.

      We rely on non-invasive methods wherever possible, including acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras and tracer gas testing. These tools let us narrow down the leak's exact position before any digging or demolition happens, so only the affected section needs to be opened up.
      Look out for a water meter that keeps moving when all taps and appliances are off, an unexplained rise in your water bill, warm or damp patches on floors, musty smells, and soft or bubbling paint or plaster on walls and ceilings. Any of these can point to a leak somewhere in your pipework.
      Yes, slab leaks are more common than most people realise, particularly in older homes with ageing copper pipework. They often show up as a warm patch on the floor, a musty odour in a particular room, or a water bill that's climbed without any change in household usage.
      We can provide a source-of-leak report with photos and marked locations that your insurer or restoration company can use to process your claim. This documentation clearly shows where the leak was found and what caused it.
      A high water bill with no visible leak is often a sign of a hidden leak underground, under a slab, or within a wall cavity. It could also be a running toilet, a faulty irrigation valve or a leak on the line between your water meter and the house. We use isolation testing and meter monitoring to work out exactly where the extra usage is coming from.
      We handle both the location and the repair. Once we've pinpointed the leak, we'll explain the most practical repair option, whether that's a straightforward patch repair, replacing a section of pipe, relining, or a broader repipe for older systems. You'll get a fixed price for the repair before we proceed.
