Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Burleigh Waters Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and businesses across Burleigh Waters track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's hiding under a concrete slab, behind a shower wall, or along a canal-front boundary. We understand the mix of established brick homes and newer builds found throughout Burleigh Waters, and we know how local soil conditions and older copper plumbing can contribute to pinhole leaks and slab moisture. That local knowledge, paired with genuine non-invasive technology, is why so many Gold Coast residents call us first when their water bill spikes or a damp patch appears.
Every leak detection job is carried out by qualified, insured plumbers you can trust.
We locate leaks using acoustic and thermal equipment, avoiding unnecessary digging or demolition.
Every repair following a leak detection is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Our plumbers know Burleigh Waters and the wider Gold Coast, so we arrive prepared and ready to help.
Whether you've noticed an unexplained spike on your water bill, a soggy patch appearing on the lawn, or damp creeping across a wall, Burleigh Waters Plumbing & Drains is ready to help. We provide comprehensive leak detection across Burleigh Waters and the greater Gold Coast, using acoustic listening equipment, thermal cameras and nitrogen pressure testing to locate hidden water leaks without tearing up your property. Our team also handles hot water copper pinhole leaks, in-wall pipe leaks and slab leaks under both timber and concrete floors, so wherever the problem is hiding, we can find it.
If you're dealing with a persistently spinning water meter, a musty smell in a particular room, or a council notice about excess usage, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Call our Burleigh Waters team and we'll book in a leak detection appointment, provide a clear written report, and get straight to work on the repair. We service homes and businesses throughout Gold Coast, and our upfront fixed pricing means you'll know the cost before we start.
A hidden water leak rarely announces itself outright. Instead, it often shows up as an unusually high water bill, a patch of lawn that stays green and soggy no matter the weather, or a faint hissing sound coming from a wall cavity. In older Burleigh Waters homes with ageing copper pipework, pinhole leaks can develop slowly, wetting timber framing and plasterboard long before any visible damage appears.
Left unaddressed, even a small leak under a slab or behind a shower recess can lead to lifted tiles, warped flooring, mould growth and structural damage that's far more expensive to fix than the original leak. Stormwater and sewer issues can sometimes mimic the signs of a water leak too, so it pays to have a qualified plumber correctly diagnose the source rather than guessing.
If your water meter keeps ticking over with every tap turned off, or you've noticed damp ceilings, lifting skirting boards or a musty odour that won't go away, it's worth arranging a proper inspection before the damage spreads further.
Burleigh Waters Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical, non-invasive approach to every leak detection job in Burleigh Waters, so you get an accurate diagnosis without unnecessary mess or expense. We combine several detection methods depending on your property and the type of leak suspected, including:
Once we've marked the exact leak location, we discuss the most practical repair option with you, whether that's a patch repair, section replacement, trenchless pipe relining or a broader repipe. We'll only open up what needs opening, and our Tidy Tradie guarantee means we leave your home as clean as we found it.
