20 Years of Locating Hidden Leaks in Serviceton

For two decades, Serviceton Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Serviceton and greater Ipswich track down hidden water leaks before they cause serious damage. Our technicians use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint leaks under slabs, behind walls and along underground mains without unnecessary digging. We understand the older copper and poly plumbing common throughout Ipswich homes, along with the concrete slab construction found in many newer builds. That local knowledge, paired with genuine leak detection experience, means we find the source of the problem quickly and explain exactly what needs fixing.

Why Choose Us

Suspect a Hidden Leak? Call Serviceton Plumbing & Drains Today

Serviceton Plumbing & Drains provides thorough water leak detection for homes and businesses throughout Serviceton and the wider Ipswich region. We locate leaking mains, pinpoint pitted copper pipes, trace cavity pipe leaks behind tiled walls and identify the cause of unexplained high water bills. Every inspection uses non-invasive acoustic and thermal equipment first, so we open up only where the evidence points and avoid unnecessary demolition. Our fixed, upfront pricing means you know the cost before any work begins, and our Tidy Tradie guarantee means your property is left as clean as we found it.

If your water meter keeps spinning with no obvious cause, if you have noticed a damp patch on the ceiling or a soggy corner of the lawn, or if your hot water system seems to be losing pressure, do not wait for the problem to worsen. A hidden leak left undetected can rot timber framing, undermine slabs and drive up your water bill month after month. Call Serviceton Plumbing & Drains on {{phone_number}} and one of our experienced leak detection plumbers will talk you through the next steps.

Facing a Leak Problem?

Common Signs of a Hidden Water Leak

Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we locate in Serviceton are hidden under concrete slabs, inside wall cavities or beneath timber flooring, and they often show up first as an unusually high water bill or a water meter that keeps turning even when every tap in the house is off.

Other warning signs include a warm patch on an otherwise cool tiled floor, a musty smell in a particular room, mould creeping along a skirting board, or a section of lawn that stays green and boggy no matter the weather. A leaking shower waterproofing membrane or a failed pan connector under a toilet can quietly damage joinery and flooring long before any staining becomes visible on the surface.

Left undetected, these issues rarely stay small. What starts as a pinhole leak in an old copper pipe can eventually undermine a slab, damage cabinetry or lead to a much larger repair bill, so it pays to have a suspected leak checked early by an experienced plumber rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.

    Our Solution

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

    Serviceton Plumbing & Drains combines proven acoustic leak detection with thermal imaging and, where needed, non-invasive tracer methods to locate the exact source of a leak before any work begins. This approach lets us confirm whether a spinning meter is a mains leak, a fitting failure or simply irrigation running longer than expected, and it means we open up only the section of pipe, wall or slab that actually needs attention.

    • Acoustic listening equipment and ground microphones to trace pressurised leaks in copper, poly and mains lines
    • Thermal camera scanning to find hot and cold water trails hidden inside walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Tracer gas and correlation testing for plastic pipe or noisy sites where acoustic methods alone are inconclusive
    • Isolation testing and meter watching to explain unexplained water usage and high water bills
    • CCTV drain inspection to rule out sewer or stormwater seepage before any excavation is planned

    Once the leak is marked, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that is a copper pinhole patch, a section of pipe relining, or a full written report for your insurer or strata manager. Serviceton homeowners get a clear explanation of what we found, why it happened, and the most practical way to fix it for good.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection FAQs

      Leak detection can feel like a mystery when you cannot see the problem, so we have answered some of the questions we hear most often from Serviceton homeowners and business owners. If you have a question that is not covered here, our team is happy to talk you through it.

      We rely on non-invasive equipment first, including acoustic listening devices, ground microphones and thermal imaging cameras, to trace the sound and temperature signature of a pressurised leak. In most cases this allows us to mark the likely location of the leak fairly precisely before any digging or demolition takes place, so only the section that actually needs attention is opened up.
      A sudden or gradual rise in water usage without an obvious cause is one of the most common reasons homeowners call us. It can point to a leaking toilet cistern, an irrigation line running longer than intended, or a hidden leak in the underground main between the meter and the house. We carry out isolation testing and meter monitoring to work through the possibilities systematically until we identify exactly where the water is going.
      This is a common point of confusion, especially after heavy rain. We look at when the dampness appears, whether it correlates with water use inside the home, and we can use CCTV drain inspection alongside our leak detection equipment to separate a genuine plumbing leak from stormwater ingress or a roof issue. Getting this distinction right means the correct trade is sent to fix the actual cause.
      Yes, slab leaks are one of the more common jobs we handle. Using acoustic correlation and thermal imaging, we can usually narrow the leak down to a specific area of the slab before any concrete is broken. This targeted approach avoids the random jackhammering that used to be the only option and keeps the repair contained to the section that has actually failed.
      We do. If your leak has caused damage that you intend to claim on insurance, we provide a detailed leak detection report with photos and location markers that clearly explain the source and likely cause of the leak. This kind of documentation is often exactly what insurers and restoration companies need to assess and approve a claim.
      Acoustic leak detection listens for the sound of pressurised water escaping a pipe, which works well on metal and poly pipework under normal ground conditions. Thermal imaging instead reads temperature differences, which is useful for tracing hot water leaks through walls and slabs or when background noise makes acoustic detection difficult. We often use both together, along with tracer gas testing where needed, to cross-check our findings before confirming the leak location.
