Non-Invasive Detection
We locate leaks using acoustic and thermal technology, so we only open up the section of wall, floor or slab that actually needs repair.
For 20 years, Elimbah Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners throughout Elimbah track down hidden water leaks before they cause serious damage. Our licensed technicians use acoustic sensors, thermal imaging and tracer gas methods to find slab leaks, in-wall leaks and underground pipe failures without unnecessary digging or demolition. We've seen how a small pinhole leak in an ageing copper pipe can quietly inflate a water bill or damage a timber floor, which is why we treat every callout with the urgency it deserves. Whether you're dealing with a spinning water meter, a musty smell in the ceiling, or a wet patch on the lawn that won't dry up, our team has the equipment and experience to find the source fast.

Our team brings two decades of hands-on plumbing and leak detection experience to every Elimbah property we visit.
Elimbah Plumbing & Drains specialises in tracking down hidden water leaks that other trades often struggle to find. From acoustic leak detection on underground mains to thermal imaging for leaks trapped inside walls and slabs, we combine the right technology with genuine plumbing experience to isolate the problem quickly. We also investigate high water bills, test consumer mains from the meter to the house, and locate pitted copper pinholes in older hot water systems, issues we see regularly across Elimbah and the wider Moreton Bay region. Once the leak is marked, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a patch repair, a section replacement, or a full repipe.
If you've noticed an unexplained spike in your water usage, a soggy patch in the yard that never seems to dry, or damp creeping across a ceiling or wall, it's worth having it looked at before the problem grows. Hidden leaks rarely resolve themselves and can lead to mould, structural damage or a much larger repair bill down the track. Give our Elimbah team a call and we'll get a technician out to find the source of the leak and talk you through the best way to fix it.
Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we locate across Elimbah start small, a pinhole in a copper pipe, a failed joint under a slab, or a slow drip behind a shower wall, and only become obvious once the water bill arrives or damage starts to show. A water meter that keeps spinning after everything's turned off, a damp patch on the carpet, or a musty smell in a room that's otherwise dry are all worth investigating.
Left unchecked, a hidden leak can undermine a concrete slab, rot timber framing, or feed mould growth behind tiles and plasterboard. Underground leaks can also erode soil beneath paths and driveways, while leaks confused with stormwater or sewer seepage sometimes see the wrong tradesperson sent out altogether. Getting the source properly identified early keeps the repair small and the damage limited.
Whether it's a suspected slab leak, a spike in your usage you can't explain, or dampness appearing somewhere with no obvious plumbing nearby, it pays to have it checked before it spreads further.
Elimbah Plumbing & Drains uses a mix of proven detection methods to locate the exact source of a leak before any repair work begins, saving you the cost and mess of guesswork. Depending on the property and the type of leak, our technicians may use:
Once we've marked the leak, we'll explain exactly what's happened and what's involved in the fix, whether that's a straightforward patch repair, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless pipe relining under a slab. There's no random jackhammering and no repairs to areas that don't need it, only an accurate diagnosis and a fair, upfront price for the work Elimbah properties actually need.
