Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor 20 years, Kuraby Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Kuraby and greater Brisbane track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our licensed plumbers use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint leaks under slabs, behind walls and along underground mains without unnecessary digging. We've seen almost every type of leak this side of Brisbane, from pitted copper pipework in older Kuraby homes to poly pipe failures beneath newer builds. That depth of hands-on experience means we locate the source of your leak quickly and repair it properly the first time.
Every leak detection job is carried out by qualified, insured plumbers you can trust.
You'll know the fixed cost before any work begins, with no hidden surprises.
Every repair following a leak detection is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Our team understands the common plumbing issues affecting homes throughout Kuraby and Brisbane.
A rising water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell inside the house are often the first clues that water is escaping somewhere it shouldn't. Kuraby Plumbing & Drains offers dedicated leak detection across Kuraby and the wider Brisbane area, using acoustic correlators, thermal cameras and pressure testing to locate leaks under slabs, in walls and along underground pipework. We work on homes, units and commercial properties throughout the local area, from older Kuraby properties with ageing copper pipes to newer builds with poly plumbing.
If you've noticed your water meter still ticking over with every tap turned off, or a plumber has told you there's a leak somewhere without being able to say exactly where, give our team a call. We'll get someone out to mark the precise location of the leak, explain what's causing it, and provide a fixed price to fix it properly. Waiting on a suspected leak rarely helps, so the sooner you reach out, the less damage and cost you're likely to face.
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves loudly. More often, they show up as an unexplained jump in your water bill, a patch of unusually green or soggy lawn, or a faint hissing sound coming from behind a wall. Left unchecked, a slab leak or in-wall pipe leak can undermine flooring, damage timber framing and encourage mould growth long before any water is visible on the surface.
Some leaks are more obvious once you know what to look for: warm patches on tiled floors above a hot water line, bubbling paint near a bathroom wall, or a water meter that keeps spinning even when every tap in the house is off. Others, like a leaking sewer or stormwater line, get mistaken for a plumbing leak when the real cause sits elsewhere underground.
Whatever the symptom, the underlying problem tends to worsen the longer it's left. A small pinhole in an ageing copper pipe can eventually become a burst pipe, and a minor slab leak can turn into significant structural repair work if it isn't found and fixed early.
Rather than guessing where a leak might be hiding, Kuraby Plumbing & Drains uses purpose-built leak detection equipment to find the exact source before any digging or demolition begins. This non-invasive approach protects your slab, gardens and driveway while still delivering an accurate result.
Once the leak is marked, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a patch repair, a section of pipe replacement or, where needed, relining under the slab. Kuraby homeowners get one team handling the entire job from detection through to repair, backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues along the way, from ageing pipework to blocked drains. Here are a few more services we offer alongside leak detection across Kuraby and Brisbane.
