Licensed & Insured Technicians
Every leak detection job is carried out by fully licensed plumbers who follow Queensland plumbing standards.
For 20 years, Pinkenba Plumbing & Drains has been tracking down hidden water leaks for homes and businesses throughout Pinkenba and greater Brisbane. From ageing hot water copper in Pinkenba's older homes to slab leaks beneath newer industrial units near the airport precinct, our licensed plumbers have seen it all. We combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak before a single tile or floorboard is disturbed. That depth of experience means fewer guesses, less mess, and a faster path to a lasting repair.

You'll know the cost of your leak detection before we start, with no hidden surprises on your invoice.
Whether you've noticed a spike on your water bill, a damp patch spreading across the lawn, or water stains creeping along a ceiling, Pinkenba Plumbing & Drains is ready to help homeowners and business operators throughout Pinkenba and Brisbane. Our team arrives equipped with acoustic listening gear, thermal cameras and tracer technology so we can locate the source of your leak without tearing up your property. We service Pinkenba's mix of residential streets, warehouses and industrial sites near the airport, so no job is too tricky for our experienced plumbers.
If you suspect a hidden leak, the sooner it's found, the less damage and expense you'll face down the track. Don't wait for a small drip to become a burst pipe or a cracked slab. Pick up the phone and speak with our friendly team, and we'll get a qualified technician out to assess the situation and give you a clear, fixed-price plan to fix it for good.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself with a dramatic burst pipe. More often, it shows up as an unusually high water bill, a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap in the house is off, or a patch of lawn that stays soggy no matter the weather. Left unchecked, these small signs can point to a much bigger problem lurking under your slab, inside a wall cavity or along the run between your meter and your home.
Ignoring a leak rarely makes it disappear. Pinhole leaks in ageing copper pipework tend to worsen over time, damp wall cavities can encourage mould and timber rot, and a leaking main under a concrete slab can eventually undermine the foundation itself. Pinkenba's mix of older homes and newer developments near Brisbane Airport means both copper pinhole leaks and slab leaks in modern plumbing are common calls for our team.
If you've noticed damp carpet, a musty smell in a particular room, or your water usage has crept up without an obvious reason, it's worth having a professional locate the source before repairing anything. Random digging or guesswork can cause unnecessary damage and cost, whereas targeted leak detection tells you exactly where to direct the repair.
Rather than relying on guesswork, Pinkenba Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical, non-invasive approach to leak detection that saves you time, money and unnecessary damage to your property. Our technicians are trained across a range of detection methods, so we select the right tool for your specific plumbing setup and the type of leak involved.
Once we've marked the exact location, our plumbers can carry out the repair straight away, whether that's a patch repair, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless relining beneath an existing slab.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing work, so Pinkenba Plumbing & Drains offers a full range of related services to get your property back to normal. Here are a few ways we can support you once your leak has been found.
We've refined our leak detection process over 20 years to be thorough, non-invasive and easy to understand from start to finish. Every step is explained plainly so you know what we're doing and why, with fixed pricing agreed before any work begins.
