Our Experience

Two Decades Of Locating Leaks Across Wynnum

For over 20 years, Wynnum Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners throughout Wynnum track down hidden water leaks before they cause lasting damage. Our technicians understand the older copper pipework common in Wynnum's character homes, along with the slab construction found in newer builds closer to the Esplanade. We combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint a leak's exact location without unnecessary digging or demolition. That experience means fewer guesses, faster answers and a repair plan you can trust from the very first visit.

Need A Leak Found Fast?

Wynnum's Leak Detection Team Is Ready When You Need Us

Wynnum Plumbing & Drains offers dedicated leak detection across Wynnum and the wider Brisbane bayside, using acoustic correlators, thermal cameras and nitrogen pressure testing to find leaks under slabs, inside wall cavities and along underground mains. Whether you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a damp patch near the lawn, or a musty smell in a downstairs room, our team can trace the source without tearing your property apart. We work on homes, units and commercial premises throughout Brisbane, including Wynnum West, Manly and Lota.

If you've spotted signs of a hidden leak, don't wait for the damage to spread. A small pinhole in ageing copper pipework or a cracked poly fitting under the slab can quietly waste water and weaken your home's foundations over time. Call Wynnum Plumbing & Drains today and our locally based plumbers will schedule a leak detection visit, mark the exact location, and give you a clear, fixed-price repair option before any work begins.

Facing An Issue?

How Do You Know If You Have A Hidden Water Leak?

An unexplained rise in your water bill, a water meter that keeps spinning after every tap is turned off, or a patch of unusually green grass in the yard are all classic signs of an underground or under-slab leak. Left unchecked, these hidden leaks can undermine your home's slab, soften timber flooring and encourage mould growth inside wall cavities.

Inside the house, watch for warm patches on tiled floors, a hot water system that seems to run constantly, or a faint hissing sound behind a wall near a shower or bathroom. These are often signs of a hot water copper pinhole leak or a failed shower waterproofing membrane, both of which can cause serious structural damage if the source isn't located quickly.

Many Wynnum properties near Moreton Bay also have stormwater and sewer lines running close to the water main, which can make it difficult to tell whether a wet patch is a plumbing leak, stormwater seepage or simply groundwater. Getting the right diagnosis from an experienced leak detection plumber saves you from paying for unnecessary excavation or repairs to the wrong system.

    Our Solution

    How Wynnum Plumbing & Drains Locates Leaks Around Wynnum Without The Guesswork

    Wynnum Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven, non-invasive techniques to find the exact source of a leak before any pipework is opened up. Rather than relying on random digging or demolition, our technicians match the right tool to the situation, whether that's a concrete slab, a timber floor or an ageing copper hot water loop.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping mains, copper and poly pipework
    • Thermal camera leak location to trace temperature changes from hot and cold leaks hidden in walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Nitrogen pressure testing and tracer gas methods for plastic pipework or sites where acoustic listening alone is inconclusive
    • Meter-to-house main tracing to confirm whether a spinning water meter points to a leak on your property or the council main
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, useful for insurance claims and restoration work

    Once we've marked the leak, we can carry out the repair straight away, whether that's a section of copper replacement, under-slab pipe relining or a simple fitting repair, giving Wynnum property owners a genuine start-to-finish leak detection and repair service.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection FAQs

      We know that dealing with a hidden leak can be stressful, so we've answered some of the questions Wynnum homeowners and business owners ask us most often. If you can't find what you're looking for here, our team is always happy to talk through your specific situation.

      Common warning signs include a water meter that keeps ticking over when everything is turned off, an unexplained increase in your water usage, damp or unusually green patches in the yard, and musty smells or warm spots on flooring. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth having a leak detection specialist inspect the property before the issue causes structural damage.
      In most cases, yes. We use non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak's location before any excavation or demolition takes place. This means we can mark the exact spot that needs attention, rather than opening up large sections of your slab, yard or wall.
      Slab leaks are often caused by ageing or corroded copper pipework, ground movement that puts pressure on joints and fittings, or poor-quality pipe installation from the original build. Homes with older copper hot water loops are particularly prone to pinhole leaks forming over time as the pipe walls wear thin.
      Yes, a written leak detection report with photos and a marked source location gives your insurer and any restoration company the evidence they need to assess your claim. We provide clear documentation that outlines exactly where the leak originated and what caused it, which helps keep the claims process moving smoothly.
      It isn't always obvious, since sewer seepage, stormwater overflow and a burst water main can all produce a similar wet patch on your lawn or driveway. Our technicians assess the pattern, smell and location of the moisture, along with pressure testing the relevant pipework, to correctly identify which system is responsible before recommending a repair.
      We offer a complete service from start to finish. Once we've located and marked the leak, we can carry out the repair straight away, whether that involves replacing a section of pipe, relining under a slab, or repairing a fitting, so you're not left waiting on a separate tradesperson to finish the job.
