Suspect a Leak in Your Home?

Call Kerrydale Plumbing & Drains Before a Small Leak Becomes a Big Problem

A hidden water leak rarely stays hidden for long. What starts as a slightly higher water bill or a damp patch on the carpet can quickly turn into warped flooring, mould growth or a cracked slab if left unchecked. Kerrydale Plumbing & Drains provides thorough leak detection throughout Kerrydale and the wider Brisbane region, using non-invasive methods to find the source before recommending any repair work. We know local homes and businesses rely on their plumbing running smoothly, so we aim to get to the bottom of the issue with minimal disruption to your property.

If you've noticed an unexplained rise in your water usage, a musty smell, or a section of flooring that feels warm or damp, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Pick up the phone and speak with our team about what you're experiencing. We'll talk you through the likely causes, explain how our detection equipment works, and arrange a time to get a technician out to your Kerrydale property.

Could You Have a Hidden Leak?

Common Signs of a Water Leak in Kerrydale Properties

Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many leaks develop slowly under a slab, inside a wall cavity or along a buried water main, showing up only as a spike in your water bill or a patch of unusually green grass in the yard. Left unaddressed, these hidden leaks can undermine footings, rot timber framing and encourage mould to take hold in places you can't easily see.

Older Kerrydale homes with original copper pipework are particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting inside the hot water line, while properties on poly or PEX pipe can develop leaks at fittings and joins. Commercial premises face their own risks too, with grease traps, fire services and larger water mains all capable of leaking well before any visible damage appears.

Trying to guess where a leak is coming from, or worse, breaking into walls and floors to search for it, often causes more damage than the leak itself. That's where proper diagnostic equipment and an experienced eye make all the difference.

    Our Solution

    How Kerrydale Plumbing & Drains Finds Leaks in Kerrydale Without the Guesswork

    Kerrydale Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven diagnostic tools to accurately locate leaks in water, hot water and stormwater lines before any repair work begins. Rather than relying on guesswork, our technicians build a clear picture of what's happening beneath your floors and behind your walls.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for escaping water in mains, copper and poly pipes
    • Thermal imaging cameras to trace hot and cold water trails through slabs, walls and ceilings
    • Isolation testing and meter monitoring to explain unexplained high water bills
    • Non-invasive tracer gas methods for plastic pipe and difficult sites where acoustic methods are inconclusive
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and location marks, suitable for insurers and restoration companies

    Once the leak has been marked, we'll talk you through the most practical fix, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section replacement or trenchless pipe relining under the slab. Because we handle both detection and repair, there's no need to bring in a second contractor once the source has been found.

      We've refined our leak detection process over many years to be as accurate and non-invasive as possible. Each step is designed to narrow down the source of the leak before any tools touch your walls or floors, saving you time, money and unnecessary repair work.

      Discuss & Assess

      We start by discussing what you've noticed, checking your water meter and reviewing recent usage to narrow down the likely area.

      2

      Locate the Leak

      Using acoustic, thermal or tracer gas equipment, we pinpoint the exact location of the leak with minimal disruption.

      3

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection Questions Answered

      We understand that a suspected leak can be a stressful experience, especially when the source isn't obvious. Below are some of the questions we're asked most often by Kerrydale homeowners and business owners, answered from years of hands-on experience finding and fixing hidden leaks.

      A hidden leak often shows up in indirect ways rather than an obvious puddle. Keep an eye out for a water bill that seems higher than usual without any change in your household habits, damp or musty smells in a particular room, a patch of unusually lush or soggy lawn, or warm spots on tiled floors if the leak involves your hot water line. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth arranging a proper inspection rather than waiting to see if it resolves on its own.
      In most cases, yes. We rely on non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas testing to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any excavation or demolition takes place. This approach means we only need to open up the smallest section necessary to complete the repair, rather than searching blindly through your yard or flooring.
      Pinhole leaks in copper hot water lines are usually caused by pitting corrosion that develops from the inside of the pipe over time. Water chemistry, pipe age and even the way the plumbing was originally installed can all contribute to this gradual wear. Once one pinhole appears, it's common for others to follow along the same section of pipe, which is why we often recommend a broader assessment rather than a single spot repair.
      Yes, we provide a written leak detection report that includes photos and clearly marked locations, designed to be used by insurers, builders or restoration companies to support a claim. This kind of documentation helps establish exactly where the water is coming from and can make the claims process considerably smoother.
      A water leak involves your drinking water supply, whether that's a burst pipe, a slow drip inside a wall or a failing fitting. Stormwater and sewer issues are separate systems entirely and usually relate to blocked drains, tree root intrusion or damaged sewer lines rather than the water main. Because the causes and fixes differ, it's important to correctly identify which system is affected before starting any repair, which is exactly what a proper leak detection service should clarify for you.
      It certainly can. A sudden or gradual rise in water usage without any change in habits is one of the most common reasons people call us. We check for running toilets, faulty irrigation systems and leaks along the underground main between the meter and the house, then use isolation testing to confirm exactly where the extra usage is coming from.
