20 Years of Accurate Leak Detection Across Glen Kedron

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.

Call Glen Kedron Plumbing & Drains to Find Your Leak Today

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.

Facing a Hidden Leak?

Signs You May Have an Undetected Water Leak

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.

    Our Solution

    How Glen Kedron Plumbing & Drains Locates Leaks in Glen Kedron

    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.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping underground
    • Thermal imaging cameras to trace temperature changes caused by hot or cold water leaks inside walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Tracer gas testing for plastic pipework or noisy sites where acoustic methods alone aren't conclusive
    • Meter and isolation testing to confirm whether a spinning water meter points to a leak on your side of the connection
    • Pressure testing on the mains line running from the meter or toby to the house

    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.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Leak detection can feel like a mystery if you've never had it done before, so we've answered some of the questions we hear most often from Glen Kedron homeowners and business owners. If you don't see your question below, give our team a call and we'll happily talk you through it.

      We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and, where needed, tracer gas testing to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any digging or demolition happens. This means we can mark a small, precise area for repair rather than opening up large sections of lawn, driveway or flooring on the chance of finding the problem.
      A higher than usual water bill without any obvious change in usage is one of the clearest signs. Other indicators include a damp or unusually green patch in the yard, a musty smell inside the house, peeling paint or bubbling on walls and ceilings, and the sound of running water when every tap and appliance is switched off.
      Yes, slab leaks are quite common, particularly in older homes with copper pipework or where poly pipes have shifted over time. These leaks often show up as warm patches on the floor, a persistent damp smell in a particular room, or an unexplained rise in water usage, and they need specialist equipment to locate accurately without unnecessary jackhammering.
      Each system behaves differently and leaves different clues. A water leak is usually linked to a spinning meter or a rising water bill, while sewer issues often bring a foul smell and gurgling drains, and stormwater problems tend to appear during or after rain. Our plumbers assess these signs together, sometimes alongside CCTV drain inspection, to confirm exactly which system is causing the issue before recommending a fix.
      Yes, we can put together a written leak detection report that outlines where the leak was found, how it was identified and photographs marking its location. This kind of documentation is often useful for insurance claims or if you're working alongside a restoration company to repair water damage.
      We can do both. Once a leak has been marked, our plumbers can usually carry out the repair straightaway, whether that involves patching a section of pipe, replacing a corroded fitting, or arranging trenchless pipe relining for more significant damage under a slab.
