20 Years of Finding Brisbane's Hidden Leaks

The Warning Signs Brisbane Property Owners Shouldn't Ignore

A hidden water leak rarely announces itself straight away. Instead, it shows up as a higher than usual water bill, a soggy lawn water leak patch that stays greener than the rest of the yard, or a driveway wet patch that appears with no obvious cause. By the time these signs are obvious, the leak has often been running under a slab or inside a wall cavity for some time.

Left unchecked, an under slab leak or a leak behind tiled walls can undermine footings, rot timber framing and encourage mould growth in places you can't easily see. Older copper hot water lines are particularly prone to pitted copper pipes and pin hole leaks as the pipe wall thins with age, while poly pipe and PEX fittings can fail at joints over time. Council mains and the section of pipe running from the meter to the house can also develop leaks that push up usage without any visible sign above ground.

Working out whether you're dealing with a plumbing leak, a roof leak, stormwater seepage or a sewer leak matters too, since each requires a different approach. Our team checks the evidence carefully, from ceiling leak patterns to wet wall leak detection, before any repair work begins, so you're not paying for the wrong fix.
