Water Leak Detection in Warner
Warner is a suburb where the plumbing problem isn't always obvious. Homes built through the late 1990s and 2000s around Kremzow Road and the Warner Lakes estate look new, but the pipes under them are sitting in former farmland soil that moves with every wet season. A joint that was tight when the house was built can work itself loose over 20 years of ground shifting without ever making a sound you'd notice. Our Warner plumbers find where it's leaking before it becomes a bigger problem.
The other issue we see regularly in Warner is flexi hose failures in homes that have never had the hoses replaced since they were installed. A lot of Warner Lakes properties are hitting that 15-20 year mark where those hoses start to go. If your water bill has crept up with no explanation, or your meter keeps moving with everything turned off, that's usually the starting point for a conversation with us.
How We Find Leaks in Warner Without the Guesswork
We don't start cutting until we know exactly where the leak is. Acoustic sensors pick up the sound of water escaping under pressure through slabs and walls. Thermal cameras show the temperature trail moisture leaves behind. Moisture meters map how far it's already spread. We use all three before we touch anything, so the only opening we make is right where the pipe failed.
Leak Detection Equipment We Use in Warner
-
Acoustic Listening Devices
Water escaping under pressure makes a sound. We use sensitive microphones to track it through Warner's concrete slab homes without lifting a tile or cutting a wall.
-
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Moisture changes the temperature of whatever it touches. Our infrared camera shows us exactly where it's sitting in walls and floors before we open anything up.
-
Moisture Meters
In Warner's reactive soil, water from a pipe leak travels further than you'd expect. Moisture meters map how far it's spread so we know the full picture before repairs start.
-
Pressure Testing
We close off sections of pipe and watch the pressure in each one. The section that drops tells us exactly where to look, no guesswork, no unnecessary opening up.
How We Find Leaks in Warner
-
Tell Us What You've Noticed
High bill, meter ticking, damp patch, soggy lawn. We start with what you've seen, check the meter, and look at the property layout before the equipment comes out.
-
Property Assessment
Thermal camera and acoustic sensors go to work across the affected area. No cutting, no lifting, no damage while we're still in the search phase.
-
Confirm the Exact Spot
Moisture meters and a pressure test lock down the location. We mark the spot and show you what we found before anything gets opened up.
-
Fix It Same Day
We walk you through what we found, give you a fixed price, and get it repaired. Most Warner leaks are sorted on the same visit, no return trips needed.
Types Of Leaks We Detect In Warner
Our leak detection services cover all types of water leaks in residential and commercial properties throughout Warner.
-
Slab Leaks
Leaks in pipes running beneath concrete floor slabs are difficult to detect and can cause serious foundation damage. Our acoustic equipment locates slab leaks precisely so repairs require minimal concrete removal.
-
Inner Wall Leaks
Water pipes running through walls can develop leaks that go unnoticed until significant damage occurs. We detect these leaks using thermal imaging and acoustic sensors without opening up your walls.
-
Underground Pipe Leaks
Leaks in underground water mains can waste enormous amounts of water before surfacing. We locate these leaks accurately to enable targeted excavation and repair.
Signs You Have a Hidden Water Leak in Warner
Most leaks give you clues before they turn into a repair bill. If any of these sound familiar, call us before it gets worse.
-
Water Bill Higher Than Normal
If your Unitywater bill has jumped and nothing in your routine has changed, something is using water around the clock that shouldn't be.
-
Meter Moving With Everything Off
Turn off every tap and appliance, then check the meter. If the dial is still moving, water is escaping somewhere in your system right now.
-
Staining or Damp Patches on Walls
A mark that keeps coming back after you paint over it means moisture is tracking through from behind the wall. In a Warner slab home it can travel a long way before it shows on the surface.
-
Musty Smell With No Obvious Source
If a room smells damp and you can't find why, mould is likely growing inside a wall cavity where a leak has been sitting undetected. Warner's humid summers make it spread fast.
-
Warm Patch on Your Floor
A section of floor that feels warmer than the rest often means a hot water pipe under the slab is leaking. It's one of the clearest signs of a slab leak in a Warner home.
-
Pressure Drop at the Taps
If the pressure has gradually gotten weaker across the whole house, a leak is bleeding off the flow before it reaches your taps. The bigger the drop, the longer it's likely been running.
Don't Ignore A Potential Leak, Get Expert Leak Detection In Warner Today
Warner's warm climate and reactive soil make undetected leaks more damaging than most homeowners expect. Here's what happens when one gets left alone.
You're Paying Unitywater for Water You Never Used
Every litre that escapes through a cracked joint or a failed flexi hose shows up on your bill. A slow leak running through a Warner summer adds up to hundreds of dollars before most people even realise what's happening.
The Slab or Soil Underneath Starts to Move
Warner's former farmland soil is already reactive. Add water leaking into it from a broken pipe and the ground under your slab softens and shifts. That's when you start seeing cracks in walls, uneven floors, and doors that no longer close right.
Mould Gets Into the Structure Before You See It
A damp wall cavity in a Warner summer doesn't stay dry for long. Mould establishes fast, spreads through the structure, and by the time you smell it, it's already well beyond the source of the leak.
Your Home Becomes Harder to Live In
Warner attracts young families for good reason. But a home with mould and ongoing damp is harder on kids, harder on anyone with asthma, and harder to sell when the time comes. Catching the leak early costs a fraction of fixing what it leaves behind.
What Causes Water Leaks in Warner Homes
Warner's plumbing problems don't follow the same pattern as older Brisbane suburbs. Here's what we actually find when we're called out to a property in this area.
Flexi Hose Failures
This is the most common cause we find in Warner. Homes built through the Warner Lakes estate and along Kremzow Road are hitting 15-25 years old, and the original flexi hoses under sinks and behind toilets were never replaced. When they go, they go fast and flood the room within minutes.
PVC Joint Failures from Soil Movement
Warner was built on former potato farmland with reactive clay soil. That soil has been moving under these homes ever since. PVC joints that were installed tight can work themselves loose over 20 years of ground shifting, leaking slowly under slabs with no visible sign until the damage is already done.
Root Intrusion from Warner Lakes Parklands
The green corridors and walking trails through Warner Lakes are lined with trees that have had years to put down deep roots. Those roots follow moisture and find pipe joints the same way they always do. It's a newer suburb but the trees are established enough to cause real problems.
Hot Water System Connections
A lot of Warner homes have continuous flow or storage hot water systems that haven't been serviced since installation. The connections and valves on these systems are a common source of slow leaks that show up as warm patches on floors or unexplained spikes on the water bill.
Stormwater Pipe Damage After Heavy Rain
Warner's low-lying areas near the South Pine River corridor take a hit during summer storms. Fast-moving water and soil saturation puts pressure on stormwater pipes, cracking joints and washing out bedding under the pipe. We see this regularly in properties backing onto the greenbelts around Warner Lakes.

Water Leak Detection Warner FAQs
-
A damp patch with no obvious source usually means a pipe is leaking inside the wall cavity or behind the lining. It could also be a slow leak from a fitting, a failed waterproofing membrane, or condensation from a hot water line. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to trace the moisture back to its source without opening up the wall.
-
Yes. We see leaks in newer Warner estates caused by poorly soldered joints, incorrectly installed fittings, and flexi hoses that fail early. Just because a home is new doesn't mean the plumbing is perfect. If you're noticing damp spots or unexplained water usage in a newer property, it's worth getting it checked.
-
Our equipment is very accurate. Acoustic devices can pinpoint a leak to within centimetres, and thermal imaging confirms moisture patterns through walls and floors. We combine multiple methods to cross-check the location so when we do open up for the repair, we go straight to the right spot.
-
Yes. A toilet with a slow internal leak can waste thousands of litres without any visible signs. The water trickles from the cistern into the bowl and straight down the drain. If your toilet occasionally refills on its own or you can hear a faint hissing, it's likely leaking. We can diagnose and fix it quickly.
-
Turn off the water at the mains straight away to stop the flow and limit damage. If water is near electrical fittings, turn off the power at the switchboard. Then call us. We handle both the detection and the repair, so one call gets the whole problem sorted.
-
Yes. We do leak detection for commercial properties, offices, and retail spaces across Warner and the surrounding area. Water leaks in commercial buildings can cause major disruption and damage. We work around your business hours where possible and provide full reporting for your records or insurance.
