Non-Invasive Approach
We locate leaks using specialist equipment rather than guesswork, protecting your floors, walls and gardens from unnecessary damage.
For two decades, Glen Kedron Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners throughout Glen Kedron track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly damage. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and tracer gas technology to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's hiding under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity, or along the mains line running to your property. We've worked on Queenslander homes, modern townhouses and commercial premises across Brisbane's northside, so we understand the plumbing quirks common to this part of the city. That local knowledge, paired with genuine leak detection expertise, usually means we find the problem faster and with far less disruption than a trial-and-error approach.

Glen Kedron Plumbing & Drains offers professional leak detection across Glen Kedron and the wider Brisbane area, using acoustic listening equipment, thermal cameras and tracer gas methods to locate hidden water leaks without unnecessary digging or demolition. Whether you've noticed an unexplained spike on your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell inside the house, our team can attend your property and get to the bottom of it. We offer upfront fixed pricing before any work begins, so you always know where you stand.
If you suspect a leak under your slab, behind a wall or somewhere along the line between the meter and your house, don't wait for it to get worse. Small leaks left undetected can lead to structural damage, mould and inflated water bills over time. Give our friendly local plumbers a call and we'll arrange a time to come out, assess the situation and provide a clear leak detection report along with repair options.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself straightaway. Often the first sign is a water bill that's noticeably higher than usual, even though nothing around the house has changed. Other times it's a soft or soggy patch appearing in the yard, a damp wall that won't dry out, or the sound of running water when every tap in the house is switched off.
Left alone, these leaks can quietly cause a lot of damage. Water escaping under a slab can undermine flooring and cause tiles to lift, while a leak inside a wall cavity can soak insulation and encourage mould growth long before it becomes visible. Copper pipes in older hot water systems are particularly prone to pinhole leaks as they age, and these can trickle away for months without anyone noticing.
The tricky part is telling the difference between a plumbing leak, a stormwater issue and normal seepage from the sewer, especially after heavy rain. Getting the right diagnosis matters, because it determines whether you need a plumber, a drainage specialist, or simply better yard drainage.
Rather than breaking up floors or walls on the off-chance of finding a leak, Glen Kedron Plumbing & Drains uses purpose-built detection equipment to narrow down the exact location first. This means less mess, less cost and a faster path to a proper repair.
Once we've marked the leak, we'll talk you through what's involved in the repair, whether that's a simple patch, a section replacement, or trenchless pipe relining under the slab. You'll receive a clear leak detection report and straightforward pricing before any repair work goes ahead.
