Every leak detection job is carried out by a fully licensed and insured plumbing technician.

Two decades of experience with the pipework and building styles common throughout Gaythorne.
Gaythorne Plumbing & Drains specialises in accurate, non-invasive leak detection for homes and businesses throughout Gaythorne and the wider Brisbane region. From acoustic listening devices and thermal camera scans to tracer gas testing on stubborn plastic pipe, we have the tools to locate hidden water leaks without unnecessary digging or demolition. Whether you're dealing with a spiking water bill, a damp patch on the lawn, or a suspected slab leak beneath your Gaythorne home, our licensed plumbers can find the source quickly and explain exactly what needs to happen next.
If you've noticed an unexplained rise in water usage, a musty smell in a room, or a section of flooring that feels warm underfoot, it's worth having it checked sooner rather than later. Left undetected, a leaking pipe under a slab or inside a wall cavity can lift tiles, damage plaster and lead to far costlier repairs down the track. Our fully equipped team can attend Gaythorne properties promptly to isolate the leak, mark its exact location and talk you through the best repair option. Call {{phone_number}} today to book a leak detection with a local plumber who leaves your home just as tidy as they found it.
A hidden water leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. More often, it shows up as a higher than usual water bill, a patch of unusually green or soggy lawn, or a faint hissing sound coming from behind a wall. In older Gaythorne homes with ageing copper pipework, pitted pinhole leaks can develop in hot water lines and slowly weep for some time before any visible sign appears.
Leaks that develop under a concrete slab are particularly tricky, as water can travel along the underside of the slab before surfacing somewhere completely different from the actual source. Left alone, that trapped moisture can lift tiles, warp timber flooring and encourage mould growth in the walls above. Stormwater and sewer issues add another layer of confusion, since a wet yard doesn't always mean the drinking water main has failed.
Trying to locate a leak yourself, or having a section of concrete or plaster smashed open on a guess, can turn a straightforward repair into an expensive renovation. That's why accurate, non-invasive leak detection matters before any repair work begins.
Gaythorne Plumbing & Drains combines modern leak detection technology with two decades of plumbing experience to find the exact source of a leak before any repair work starts. Rather than relying on guesswork, our technicians select from a range of detection methods suited to your property and pipework.
Once we've marked the leak, we'll walk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section replacement, or trenchless pipe relining, so you can make an informed decision without unnecessary excavation.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues that need attention, from blocked drains to ageing pipework. Alongside our leak detection service, Gaythorne Plumbing & Drains offers a full range of plumbing and drainage solutions for Gaythorne homes and businesses, so once the leak is found, we can repair it and check the rest of your system while we're there.
Finding a hidden leak takes more than luck. Our process is methodical, so we locate the true source of the problem before any repair work begins, saving you time, money and unnecessary damage to your property.
We start by reviewing your water meter, checking fixtures and isolating sections of pipework to narrow down where the leak is likely hiding.
Using acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging or tracer gas, we pinpoint the exact position of the leak and mark it clearly.
We explain what we've found, provide a written report if needed, and give you a clear, fixed-price quote for the repair.
