A hidden leak rarely stays hidden for long. It shows up as a damp patch on the lawn, a spike on the water meter, or a musty smell that won't go away. Pacific Pines Plumbing & Drains helps homeowners and business owners throughout Pacific Pines and the greater Gold Coast track down these leaks quickly, using acoustic listening equipment, thermal cameras and pressure testing rather than guesswork. We work on copper, poly, PEX and galvanised pipework, above and below ground, so whatever your home is plumbed with, we've likely found a leak in one just like it.
If your water bill has crept up without explanation, or you've noticed a wet patch near the driveway or under the house, give us a call before the damage spreads further. Our fixed-price quotes mean you'll know the cost before we start, and our Tidy Tradie guarantee means we leave your property as clean as we found it. From Pacific Pines through to the surrounding Gold Coast suburbs, our local team is ready to locate the source of your leak and get it repaired properly the first time.
Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a flood across the kitchen floor. Many of the leaks we're called out to in Pacific Pines develop slowly under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity, or along the water main between the meter and the house, quietly pushing your water bill higher month after month.
Left unchecked, a slab leak can lift tiles, soften timber flooring and encourage mould growth in the rooms above it, while a pinhole in an old copper hot water line can eventually saturate a wall cavity or ceiling. Sewer and stormwater leaks bring their own problems too, from soggy lawns and odours to gradual movement around the affected pipe.
If you've noticed an unusually high water bill, a water meter that keeps spinning with every tap off, or damp patches appearing without an obvious cause, it's worth having a proper leak detection carried out before the problem grows any larger.
Rather than opening up walls or excavating the yard on a hunch, Pacific Pines Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven, non-invasive techniques to narrow down exactly where a leak is hiding. Our approach depends on the pipework involved and the symptoms you're describing, but it typically includes:
Once we've marked the exact location, we'll talk you through the options, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless pipe relining for a longer-term fix. For insurance claims, we can also provide a written source-of-leak report with photos, giving your insurer or restoration company everything they need to act quickly.
Leak detection often uncovers a wider plumbing or drainage issue, so our team offers a full range of related services to get things sorted properly the first time.
We follow a straightforward process on every leak detection job, so you always know what's happening and why. It starts with listening to your concerns, whether that's a high water bill or a damp patch that's appeared out of nowhere, then moves through targeted testing before we confirm the exact source. This structured approach means less disruption to your property and a clear repair plan once the leak is found.
We start with a conversation about what you've noticed, then inspect the property, meter and relevant pipework.
Using acoustic, thermal or tracer methods, we narrow the leak down to an exact point before any digging or opening up begins.
Once located, we repair or reline the affected section, then re-test to confirm the leak is fully resolved.
Beyond leak detection, our Pacific Pines team handles everything from blocked drains to full plumbing repairs, so you've got one local number to call for whatever comes up.
