We use acoustic and thermal technology to find leaks without unnecessary digging or damage to your home.
Sunshine Coast residents rely on us for honest, accurate leak detection and straightforward advice.
Every repair we carry out is backed by a lifetime guarantee for lasting peace of mind.
Our fully licensed plumbers bring genuine leak location expertise to every Kawana Waters job.
We locate hidden water leaks throughout Kawana Waters and the wider Sunshine Coast using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and non-invasive tracing equipment. Whether it's a spinning water meter, a damp patch near the canal, or a water bill that doesn't add up, we pinpoint the exact source before any digging begins. Our vans carry advanced diagnostic tools, so we can usually trace a leak and quote the repair in the same visit, saving you the hassle of multiple call-outs.
If you've noticed a jump in your water bill, a musty smell in a room, or water pooling where it shouldn't, don't wait for the damage to spread further. Upfront fixed pricing means you'll know the cost before we start, and our Tidy Tradie guarantee means we leave your property as clean as we found it. Pick up the phone and speak with a local Kawana Waters plumbing team who can trace, mark and repair your leak properly the first time.
Kawana Waters sits close to the water table, and many properties here are built on concrete slabs or feature canal-front gardens, which can make hidden leaks tricky to spot until real damage appears. A leaking pipe under the slab, inside a wall cavity, or beneath the hot water system can run for weeks before anyone notices a change in water usage.
Left unchecked, a hidden leak can lift tiles, rot timber flooring, encourage mould growth and inflate your water bill without warning. Older copper pipework, common throughout established parts of the Sunshine Coast, is particularly prone to pinhole leaks as it corrodes with age, while poly and PVC lines can develop slow seepage at fittings and joints.
If you've spotted a spinning water meter with every tap turned off, a damp patch on the lawn or driveway, peeling paint, or an unexplained spike on your water bill, it's worth having a licensed plumber trace the source before a minor leak becomes a major repair.
We combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to locate leaks accurately, without unnecessary digging or demolition. Our technicians are trained to read the subtle signs of a hidden leak, whether it's under a slab, inside a wall cavity, or along the main between your meter and house.
Once we've marked the exact leak location, our Kawana Waters plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a copper pinhole patch, a valve replacement or a section of trenchless pipe relining.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues that need attention, from ageing pipework to blocked drains. Below are some related services Kawana Waters homeowners frequently request alongside a leak inspection.
