Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Clontarf Plumbing & Drains has been tracking down hidden water leaks throughout Clontarf and the wider Moreton Bay area, from beachside properties near the foreshore to established homes further inland. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and correlator technology to pinpoint exactly where a leak is escaping, before any digging or wall-opening begins. This experience means fewer guesses, less mess and a faster path to repair, whether the leak sits under a concrete slab, behind a tiled wall or along an underground main. Locals trust us because every leak detection job comes with a written report and a lifetime workmanship guarantee on the repair that follows.
Every technician holds full plumbing licences and insurance for genuine peace of mind.
Thermal cameras, acoustic listening gear and tracer methods locate leaks without unnecessary damage.
You'll know the cost before we start, with no hidden fees added part-way through.
Two decades finding and fixing leaks across Moreton Bay homes and businesses.
At Clontarf Plumbing & Drains, we specialise in tracking down hidden water leaks that other plumbers might miss, using acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and pressure testing to find the exact source without tearing up your property unnecessarily. Whether you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell inside the home, our team investigates the cause and provides a clear, written report on what we find. We handle slab leaks, underground mains, in-wall pipes and hot water systems, covering everything from pinhole copper leaks to failed shower waterproofing.
Homes and businesses across Clontarf and the broader Moreton Bay region rely on us because we turn up on time, explain the problem in plain language and quote a fixed price before any work starts. If you've spotted an unexplained wet patch near the driveway or your water meter keeps spinning even with everything turned off inside, don't wait for the damage to spread. Pick up the phone and speak with our local team, and we'll organise a technician to get to the bottom of it.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe. More often, it shows up as a higher than usual water bill, a patch of unusually green or soggy lawn, or a faint trickling sound behind a wall. Left unchecked, even a small pinhole leak in ageing copper pipework can waste a surprising amount of water and quietly damage timber flooring, plaster and foundations.
In older Clontarf homes, hot water copper pipes are particularly prone to pitting and pinhole leaks after years of use, while newer builds can develop issues at pipe joints, shower mixers or under-slab connections. Musty smells, lifting floor tiles or an unusually warm patch on the slab can all point to a leak running beneath the house rather than a visible plumbing fault.
Some leaks are more urgent than others, particularly when water is tracking toward electrical wiring or undermining a slab. Getting a professional leak detection service involved early, rather than waiting for visible damage, generally means a smaller repair and far less disruption to your home.
Rather than guessing where a leak might be, Clontarf Plumbing & Drains follows a methodical, technology-led process to find the exact source before any repair work begins. Our approach is designed to minimise disruption to your Clontarf home while still delivering an accurate result.
Once the leak is marked, our plumbers can often carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a patch repair, a section of pipe relining or a full valve replacement. This means one visit generally covers both finding the problem and fixing it, saving you the cost and hassle of booking a second trade.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing work, particularly when a leak has been running for some time. Here are a few related services our team regularly provides alongside leak location and repair.
Finding a hidden leak takes more than a quick look around the yard. Our process combines proven testing methods with the right equipment for your property, so we locate the leak accurately the first time. From the initial phone call through to the final repair, we keep you informed at every stage of the job.
We start with isolation tests and a check of your water meter to confirm whether the leak sits on the mains, the house plumbing or a fixture. This narrows the search area before any equipment comes out.
Using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and tracer methods where needed, we pinpoint the exact spot the water is escaping. This means we only open up the section that's actually failed.
You'll receive a clear report showing where the leak was found, then we can carry out the repair, whether that's a patch, a relined section or a valve replacement.
