Suspect a Leak?

Call Hemmant Plumbing & Drains for Fast, Accurate Leak Detection

Hemmant Plumbing & Drains provides professional water leak detection to homes and businesses throughout Hemmant and the wider Brisbane area. Using acoustic listening devices, ground microphones, thermal cameras and non-invasive tracer methods, we locate leaks hiding under concrete slabs, inside cavity walls and along underground pipework. Whether it is a spiking water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a strange sound behind a wall, our team narrows down the exact location before any digging or demolition begins. We then provide clear, upfront pricing for the repair, so there are no surprises once the leak is found.

If you have noticed an unexplained rise in your water usage, a warm patch on the floor or persistent dampness around Hemmant, do not let the problem sit and worsen. Hidden leaks can quietly damage timber floors, foundations and plasterboard long before they become visible. Pick up the phone and speak with our friendly team, and we will arrange a time to get one of our leak detection specialists out to inspect your property.

Could You Have a Hidden Leak?

Signs of a Hidden Water Leak in Your Home

A hidden leak rarely announces itself straight away. Instead, it tends to show up as a higher than usual water bill, a patch of unusually green or soggy lawn, or a musty smell developing in a room with no obvious cause. Inside the home, you might notice a warm patch on tiled or timber flooring, peeling paint near a wall, or the sound of running water when every tap is switched off.

Left unchecked, these small signs can turn into much bigger problems. Water escaping under a slab can undermine flooring and foundations, while a leak inside a wall cavity can rot timber framing and encourage mould growth. Older copper pipework is particularly prone to pinhole leaks as it ages, while poly and PEX pipes can develop leaks at fittings and joints.

The good news is that most of these issues can be found accurately using acoustic and thermal leak detection equipment, meaning you avoid unnecessary digging or demolition while the source of the leak is confirmed.

    Our Solution

    How Hemmant Plumbing & Drains Locates Leaks Across Hemmant

    Hemmant Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to locating leaks, combining several detection technologies to confirm the exact position before any repair work begins. This keeps disruption to your home or business to a minimum and ensures the repair addresses the true source of the problem.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping mains, copper and poly pipework
    • Thermal imaging cameras to trace temperature changes caused by hot and cold water leaks inside walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Non-invasive tracer gas testing for plastic pipework or sites where acoustic methods alone are inconclusive
    • Isolation testing and meter monitoring to confirm whether a spinning meter points to a leak on the property side of the connection
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, useful for insurance claims and restoration work

    Once the leak is marked, our plumbers can carry out the repair straight away, whether that means a section of pipe relining, a copper repair or a broader repipe for older, heavily pitted lines throughout Hemmant properties.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection FAQs

      Below are some of the questions we hear most often from homeowners and business owners across Hemmant about finding and fixing hidden water leaks. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, give our team a call and we will be happy to help.

      We rely on non-invasive methods wherever possible, including acoustic listening equipment, ground microphones and thermal imaging cameras. These tools allow us to trace the sound and temperature signature of escaping water through walls, floors and underground pipework, so we can mark the exact location before any digging or tile removal takes place. In cases where the pipe material or site conditions make acoustic detection difficult, we may use tracer gas testing as an additional non-invasive method.
      A hidden leak often shows up as an unexplained increase in your water bill, a patch of lawn that stays wet or unusually green, a musty smell inside the home, or a warm spot on tiled or timber flooring. You might also notice the water meter still ticking over even when every tap and appliance in the house is switched off. Any of these signs are worth investigating before the leak causes further damage.
      Yes. Slab leaks are one of the more common issues we are called out to investigate, particularly in homes with copper or older poly pipework running under the floor. Using acoustic equipment and thermal cameras, we can trace the leak to a specific section of the slab, which means we only need to open up the area directly above the fault rather than searching randomly.
      A high water bill with no visible leak is one of the clearest indicators of a hidden problem, whether that is a leaking toilet cistern, an irrigation line, or a fault in the underground main between the meter and the house. We start by isolating different sections of your plumbing and monitoring the meter, which allows us to narrow down whether the leak is on the property side of the connection before carrying out further detection work.
      Yes. Once we have located a leak, we can provide a written report that outlines what was found, where it was located and photographic evidence of the affected area. This report can be provided to your insurer or a restoration company to support your claim and help move the process along.
      These three systems behave quite differently, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters. A water leak involves pressurised drinking water escaping from the supply pipes, while a sewer leak involves wastewater seeping from drainage pipework, often accompanied by an odour. Stormwater issues usually relate to surface or ground water finding its way into pits or pipes during wet weather. Correctly identifying which system is affected means we can send the right equipment and the right repair solution the first time.
