Need a Leak Found Fast?

Call Kedron Plumbing & Drains for Leak Detection in Kedron

A hidden water leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe or a flooded floor. More often, it shows up as a spinning water meter, an unexplained rise in your water bill, or a damp patch that won't dry out no matter how much sun Kedron gets. Kedron Plumbing & Drains specialises in tracking down these hidden leaks using acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and pressure testing, so you're not left guessing where the problem lies.

If you're noticing warm patches on your floor, a musty smell in a room that shouldn't be damp, or water usage that doesn't match your household's habits, don't wait for the situation to worsen. Our team services Kedron and the surrounding Brisbane suburbs, arriving with the right equipment to locate the leak without unnecessary digging or demolition. Pick up the phone and speak with a local leak detection plumber who'll walk you through what's happening and what it'll take to fix it properly.

Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak

Is a Hidden Leak Costing You Money in Kedron?

Water leaks have a habit of hiding in the places you'd least expect: under a concrete slab, behind a tiled shower wall, or along the poly or copper pipe running from your water meter to the house. Left unchecked, even a small pinhole leak in an older copper hot water line can quietly waste large amounts of water and cause damage to timber floors, plaster and foundations.

Common warning signs include a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap in the house is off, a water bill that's crept up without explanation, or a patch of lawn near the driveway that's greener and wetter than the rest of the yard. Inside, you might notice bubbling paint, lifting tiles, or a persistent musty smell that no amount of ventilation seems to fix.

The tricky part is telling a genuine water leak apart from a stormwater or sewer issue, or a plumbing fault instead of a roof leak. Getting this wrong means paying for excavation or repairs in the wrong spot entirely, which is why proper diagnosis with the right tools matters before any digging or demolition begins.

    Our Leak Detection Solution

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

    Kedron Plumbing & Drains takes the guesswork out of finding a leak. Rather than reaching for a jackhammer or cutting into walls on a hunch, our plumbers use acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to narrow down the exact location of the problem before any work starts.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping mains, copper and poly pipes
    • Thermal imaging to trace hot and cold water trails through slabs, walls and ceilings
    • Non-invasive tracer gas testing for plastic pipe and noisy sites where acoustic methods alone aren't conclusive
    • Meter-to-house main tracing and isolation testing to confirm whether a spinning meter is linked to a leak on your property
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, useful for insurance claims and restoration work

    Once we've confirmed the source, we can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a section of pipe relining, a copper repipe or a straightforward patch, so you're not left dealing with two separate call-outs for one problem.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection FAQs

      Leak detection can raise plenty of questions, especially if you're not sure whether what you're seeing is actually a plumbing issue. Below, we've answered some of the questions we hear most often from Kedron homeowners, drawing on our experience finding and fixing hidden leaks across Brisbane's northside.

      We rely on acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and pressure testing to narrow down the location of a leak before any digging or cutting takes place. Ground microphones pick up the sound of pressurised water escaping a pipe, while thermal cameras trace temperature changes caused by hot or cold water moving through walls, ceilings and slabs. Combining these methods means we can usually mark the exact spot, so any excavation or opening up is targeted and minimal.
      The most common signs include a water bill that's noticeably higher than usual without a clear reason, a water meter that keeps moving even when every tap and appliance is switched off, and damp patches on walls, ceilings or floors that don't seem to dry out. You might also notice a musty smell in a particular room, warm spots on tiled floors if it's a hot water leak, or an unusually green and soggy patch of lawn near the house.
      Yes, slab leaks are one of the more common jobs we handle. Using thermal imaging alongside acoustic equipment, we can trace the path of a leaking pipe running beneath a concrete slab without needing to break up the entire floor. Once we've confirmed the location, we discuss the most practical repair option with you, whether that's a targeted patch repair or relining the affected section.
      We can provide a written leak detection report that includes photos and marked locations of the source of the leak. This kind of documentation is often exactly what insurers and restoration companies need to process a claim, since it clearly shows where the water is coming from and what caused the damage.
      Drinking water leaks, sewer seepage and stormwater problems all present differently, and mixing them up leads to time and money spent fixing the wrong thing. We look at factors like water meter movement, the smell and colour of any moisture, and where the dampness is appearing relative to your stormwater and sewer lines. This helps us confirm whether you're dealing with a mains water leak, a sewer issue or simply surface water pooling after rain.
      We can do both. Once we've confirmed the source of the leak, our plumbers can carry out the repair straight away in most cases, whether that involves patching a section of pipe, replacing a fitting, or relining a damaged section under the slab. Sorting the location and the repair in one visit saves you from arranging a separate plumber to finish the job.
