Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Coorparoo Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Coorparoo and greater Brisbane track down hidden water leaks before they cause lasting damage. Our technicians combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it sits under a concrete slab, behind a tiled shower wall or along the main between the meter and the house. We've worked on older Queenslander homes near Langlands Park through to modern units around Coorparoo Square, so we understand the plumbing quirks common to this pocket of Brisbane. This local knowledge, paired with genuinely non-invasive detection methods, means we find leaks faster and with far less disruption to your property.
Every leak detection job is carried out by fully licensed, qualified plumbers you can trust.
We've built our name in Coorparoo on honest advice and accurate leak location.
Every repair following a leak detection is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Our team knows the common leak issues found in older and newer Coorparoo homes alike.
A dripping tap is easy to spot, but the leaks that cause the most damage are usually the ones you can't see. Hidden leaks under a slab, inside a wall cavity or along a buried water main can run for months, driving up water bills and quietly rotting timber, lifting tiles or encouraging mould long before anyone notices. If you've spotted a damp patch on the lawn, a spike in your water usage or a musty smell in a room that shouldn't have one, it's worth having it checked sooner rather than later.
Coorparoo Plumbing & Drains services Coorparoo and the wider Brisbane area with non-invasive leak detection equipment that locates the problem without tearing up floors or walls unnecessarily. Once we've marked the leak, we can often repair it on the spot, backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee. Don't wait for a small pinhole leak to turn into a burst pipe or a structural repair bill, give our friendly local team a call today.
Many leaks develop slowly and stay out of sight for a long time. A pinhole in an ageing copper hot water line, a failed pan connector under a toilet or a cracked poly fitting beneath a slab rarely announces itself straight away. Instead, you might notice your water meter ticking over when every tap in the house is off, an unusually high water bill with no obvious explanation, or a soft, soggy patch appearing in the yard or driveway for no apparent reason.
Left undetected, these leaks can undermine a slab, warp timber flooring, encourage mould behind plasterboard and, in older homes around Coorparoo, speed up the corrosion of ageing galvanised or copper pipework. Some issues are mistaken for roof leaks or stormwater problems when the real cause is a failed water supply pipe, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters before any repair work begins.
If you're dealing with a leaking shower base, a warm patch on the tiles above a hot water pipe, or simply can't explain where your water is going, it's a sign that professional leak detection is worth arranging before the damage spreads further.
Rather than guessing where a leak might be, Coorparoo Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical, evidence-based approach to leak detection. We start with isolation and pressure testing to confirm whether the leak sits on the property side of the meter, then narrow the search using specialist equipment before any excavation or wall opening takes place. Our approach typically includes:
Once the leak is confirmed, our plumbers can usually carry out the repair straight away, from replacing a pitted copper section to relining a length of pipe under the slab. Every Coorparoo job comes with a clear explanation of what we found and what we recommend, so you understand exactly what's happening beneath your floors and walls.
Finding the leak is only half the job. Depending on what our leak detection uncovers, you might also need one of the services below to fully resolve the problem and protect your Coorparoo property going forward.
