Leak detection in Capalaba and Brisbane

Corroded shower tap pipework exposed behind a tiled wall

Most leaks show up as signs before they show up as puddles. A water bill that jumps, a damp patch on a wall, a musty smell, bubbling paint, a meter that keeps moving when every tap is off, or the sound of water running when nothing is on.

We start with the simple checks. We read the meter with everything turned off, look at the likely spots like showers, baths and hot water connections, and work along the pipe to narrow down where the water is escaping. Older copper and galvanised pipework can corrode through behind tiles or in a wall, so we open up only as much as needed to reach the fault. We then repair or replace the damaged section.

If water is spraying right now, turn the water off at the meter and call. Otherwise, ring 0414 564 007 or send a photo of the damp patch and the meter, and we can talk through the next step.

Common questions

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Check your water meter with every tap and appliance off. If it is still moving, water is going somewhere. Other signs are damp walls, musty smells, bubbling paint and a higher bill. If you think you have one, get in touch and we will talk you through what to look at. A burst pipe is an emergency: see the 24/7 emergency plumber page.
Do you have to cut into my walls?
Only where it is needed. We narrow down the location first so any opening in a wall or floor is as small as possible, then repair it properly. Photos of past jobs are in our work.
How much does a leak repair cost?
It depends on where the leak is and what has failed. We quote after hearing the details or seeing photos, and explain the repair to you before we start the work. Call 0414 564 007 or send an enquiry with a photo of the damage.
