How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

If you’ve noticed musty smells, damp patches, or high water bills, there’s a good chance you have a hidden leak. A professional plumber can confirm with accurate testing.

What are the signs of a leak under concrete or behind walls?

Pooled water, soft floorboards, or swollen cabinetry near wet areas usually point to a concealed pipe issue beneath flooring or inside the walls.

Can water leak detection be done without damaging my home?

Yes. We use acoustic, thermal, and moisture-sensing equipment to find leaks accurately—no digging or tearing into walls unless absolutely necessary.

How much does water leak detection cost in Australia?

For an accurate, upfront, and fixed-price quote, an on-site inspection is required. Water leak detection costs vary significantly depending on the complexity and location of the leak. We ensure our pricing is precise and tailored to your specific needs, which can only be determined through a professional assessment at your location.

Do you offer emergency water leak detection in Brisbane?

Absolutely. Our plumbers are on-call 24/7 and can attend urgent leak situations across Brisbane, including nights, weekends, and public holidays.

Is leak detection covered by home insurance?

It often is, particularly when the leak causes significant water damage. Check with your insurer, and we’ll provide full documentation for your claim.

Water Leak Detection Brisbane | Professional Leak Detection Services

Expert Leak Detection Services Across Brisbane

At Weekend Plumbing Co., we specialise in precise, non-invasive water leak detection for Brisbane homes and businesses. Whether it’s a concealed pipe issue or a sudden water bill spike, we use the latest diagnostic technology to locate and fix the problem with minimal disruption.

We service Brisbane Northside, Southside, Moreton Bay, and surrounding suburbs.

Common Warning Signs of a Water Leak

Unseen leaks often show subtle signs before major damage occurs. Here’s what to look for:

Persistent wet patches on lawns or driveways
Musty smells or damp carpet indoors
Discoloured or peeling wall paint
Sudden dips in water pressure
Mould growth around ceilings or cabinetry
Warped timber, rising damp, or cracked tiles
Unexplained spikes in your water bill

If any of these apply to your home, call our licensed leak detection plumbers for a fast, expert assessment.

Brisbane’s Trusted Water Leak Detection Experts

We don’t guess where your leak might be, we find it with pinpoint accuracy using:

Acoustic listening devices to trace pipe sounds underground
Infrared thermal imaging to reveal temperature changes from hidden water
Pressure testing to isolate problem zones in plumbing systems
Video pipe inspection cameras for underground or in-wall pipework
Moisture sensors to monitor rising damp across interior surfaces

Our team will explain the issue, recommend the best repair, and fix the problem efficiently.

Non-Invasive Outdoor Leak Detection

Gone are the days of ripping up your lawn to find a leak. Our advanced leak detection equipment allows us to pinpoint underground problems without unnecessary excavation. We detect water escaping beneath soil, driveways, or paving and resolve it quickly, protecting your property and saving you money.

Our non-invasive techniques ensure we can identify the issue without disrupting your property. Whether it's a buried pipe under your driveway or leaking stormwater lines beneath your garden, our technology tracks down the exact location of the issue. This approach prevents costly repairs and minimizes the impact on your landscaping or paved surfaces.

Interior Leak Detection Without Damage

Leaks hidden behind walls or under floors can go unnoticed for weeks until the damage becomes costly. We use non-destructive methods like:

Fluorescein dye testing
Hydrostatic pressure testing
Infrared scanning
Targeted visual inspections of taps, waste lines, and seals

Whether it’s a leaking shower base, a cracked pipe, or a damaged seal, we’ll track it down and fix it before it gets worse. Our leak detection services can find problems that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye, saving you from expensive structural damage and extensive repairs later on.

We also specialize in detecting leaks in difficult-to-reach areas, like behind walls or under floors. Using advanced infrared scanning, we can see temperature differences caused by hidden water, allowing us to pinpoint leaks without tearing down walls or floors unnecessarily.
