Suspect a Hidden Leak?

Seventeen Mile Rocks's Trusted Team for Water Leak Detection

Seventeen Mile Rocks Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating hidden water leaks that hide beneath concrete slabs, inside cavity walls and along underground mains pipes. Rather than guessing where a leak might be, we use acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and nitrogen pressure testing to map the exact location before any wall, floor or driveway is opened. This approach saves Seventeen Mile Rocks homeowners from unnecessary demolition and the stress of watching a tradesperson jackhammer through a slab in the wrong spot.

If you've noticed a spinning water meter, an unusually high water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell in a particular room, it's worth having one of our plumbers take a look before the problem grows. We service homes and businesses right across Seventeen Mile Rocks and greater Brisbane, and we're only a phone call away when something doesn't feel right with your plumbing.

Facing a Leak?

Common Signs of a Hidden Water Leak

Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many water leaks in Seventeen Mile Rocks homes stay hidden under a slab, inside a wall cavity or along an underground main for weeks before anyone notices a problem. By then, the damage can extend to swollen skirting boards, lifting floor tiles, mould growth or a substantial jump in your water bill.

A slab leak often shows up as a warm patch on the floor, the sound of running water when every tap is off, or a water meter that keeps spinning even with the property empty. A leaking shower or in-wall pipe can soak plasterboard and timber framing long before a stain ever appears on the ceiling below. Left unchecked, these hidden leaks can undermine flooring, encourage termites and cause far more expensive repairs than the original plumbing fix would have cost.

If any of this sounds familiar, it's worth getting a professional opinion sooner rather than later. Our team can quickly tell the difference between a genuine water leak, a stormwater issue or a sewer smell, so the right repair is carried out the first time.

    How Seventeen Mile Rocks Plumbing & Drains Locates Leaks Across Seventeen Mile Rocks

    Seventeen Mile Rocks Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of non-invasive tools and techniques to find leaks without unnecessary guesswork or damage to your property. Depending on the pipework and the symptoms you've described, our plumbers select the most accurate method for your situation.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping underground mains, copper or poly pipe.
    • Thermal camera leak location to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs before any damage is visible.
    • Nitrogen pressure testing and tracer gas methods for plastic pipe or sites where acoustic tools alone aren't conclusive.
    • Moisture meter readings and isolation testing to confirm whether a high water bill is linked to a toilet, irrigation line or an underground main.
    • Meter-to-house main tracing to prove whether a spinning water meter is connected to a leak on the consumer main itself.

    Once the leak is marked, we discuss the repair options with you before any work begins, whether that's a patch repair, a section replacement or trenchless pipe restoration for an older, pitted copper line.

      Your Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Leak detection can feel confusing if you've never dealt with a hidden water leak before. Here are some of the questions we're asked most often by Seventeen Mile Rocks homeowners, answered honestly by our experienced team.

      We rely on non-invasive tools such as acoustic listening equipment, ground microphones, thermal cameras and tracer gas rather than guesswork. These methods let us trace the sound, temperature change or gas movement caused by escaping water, so we can mark the exact location of the leak before any tile, wall or section of lawn is opened. In most cases, only the specific section causing the problem needs to be exposed for the repair.
      Keep an eye out for a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap and appliance is switched off, an unexplained rise in your water usage, warm or damp patches on floors, a persistent musty smell in one part of the house, or the sound of running water when the property is otherwise quiet. Any one of these on its own might have a simple explanation, but a combination is usually worth having checked.
      Drinking water leaks, sewer seepage and stormwater problems all behave differently and often need a different response. We look at where the moisture is appearing, whether there's an odour present, how the water meter is behaving and the layout of your property's pipework to work out which system is responsible. This helps us avoid sending the wrong team out or digging in the wrong spot.
      Yes, we can put together a written source-of-leak report complete with photos and clear location markings once we've found the problem. This kind of documentation is often exactly what insurers and restoration companies need to assess and progress a claim, so we make sure it covers the detail they're likely to ask for.
      A leak doesn't need to be visible to be using water. Underground mains, cracked pipes beneath a slab, a running toilet cistern or even a faulty irrigation valve can all push water usage up without ever showing on the surface. We use isolation testing and meter monitoring to narrow down where the extra usage is coming from before recommending any repair.
      We do both. Once we've located the source of a leak, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a straightforward patch repair, replacing a section of pitted copper pipe, or a broader repipe if the pipework has reached the end of its working life. Our aim is to leave you with a lasting fix, not just a location marked on the ground.
