Suspect A Leak? Don't Wait

Call Pacific Pines Plumbing & Drains For Leak Detection In Pacific Pines

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.

Facing A Suspected Leak?

The Hidden Cost Of An Undetected Water Leak

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.

    Our Solution

    How Pacific Pines Plumbing & Drains Finds Leaks In Pacific Pines Without The Guesswork

    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:

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping mains, copper and poly lines
    • Thermal imaging to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and concrete slabs
    • Isolation testing and meter watching to confirm whether a high water bill is coming from an underground main, a toilet or irrigation
    • Tracer gas and correlation methods for plastic pipe or noisy sites where acoustic listening alone isn't conclusive
    • Pressure testing from the meter or toby through to the house to prove whether the consumer main itself is leaking

    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.

      Our Process

      How We Track Down Your Leak

      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.

      1

      Assess & Investigate

      We start with a conversation about what you've noticed, then inspect the property, meter and relevant pipework.

      2

      Locate With Precision

      Using acoustic, thermal or tracer methods, we narrow the leak down to an exact point before any digging or opening up begins.

      3

      Repair & Confirm

      Once located, we repair or reline the affected section, then re-test to confirm the leak is fully resolved.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Leak detection can feel like a mystery when you can't see what's causing the problem, so we've answered some of the questions we're asked most often by Pacific Pines homeowners. If your question isn't listed here, our team is always happy to talk through your specific situation.

      We use non-invasive methods first, including acoustic listening devices that pick up the sound of pressurised water escaping underground, and thermal cameras that trace temperature changes caused by hot or cold water moving through walls and slabs. These tools let us narrow the leak down to a small, specific area before any digging or opening up happens, so only the section that actually needs attention gets disturbed.
      A water bill that's noticeably higher than usual without a change in your household's water use is often the first clue. Other signs include a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap and appliance is switched off, damp or soft patches on the lawn or driveway, musty smells inside the home, or warm patches on flooring above a hot water pipe running under the slab.
      Yes, slab leaks are one of the more common jobs we're called out for. We use acoustic equipment and thermal imaging to identify where a pipe under the slab is leaking, which lets us pinpoint the exact spot for repair or relining rather than breaking up large sections of flooring to search for it.
      An unexplained rise in your water bill is usually caused by a leak somewhere between the meter and your home, or occasionally within an appliance or irrigation system. We carry out isolation testing and monitor the meter to work out whether the issue is on your side of the connection, then use leak detection equipment to locate the exact source.
      Yes, we can prepare a written source-of-leak report that includes photos and the marked location of the leak. This kind of documentation is often what insurers and restoration companies need before they'll approve further work, so it can help move your claim along.
      Each system behaves differently, and the symptoms usually point us in the right direction. A drinking water leak tends to cause a steadily rising water bill and a constantly running meter, while sewer seepage often brings odours and slower drainage, and stormwater issues usually show up after rain. We assess these signs alongside our detection equipment to make sure the right specialist and the right fix are applied, rather than starting with the wrong kind of excavation.
