Licensed & Insured Plumbers
Every leak detection job is carried out by fully licensed, insured tradespeople you can trust in your home.
For more than 20 years, Drewvale Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners throughout Drewvale track down hidden water leaks before they cause costly damage. Our licensed plumbers use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras and non-invasive tracer methods to locate leaks under slabs, inside walls and along underground mains, all without unnecessary digging or demolition. We understand the plumbing common to properties across Drewvale and the wider Brisbane southside, from older homes with ageing copper pipework to newer builds sitting on concrete slabs. This local knowledge, paired with two decades of hands-on experience, means we usually reach the source of a leak faster than a general plumber starting from scratch.

Drewvale Plumbing & Drains provides professional water leak detection for homes and businesses throughout Drewvale and the wider Brisbane area. Whether it's a spike in your water bill, a damp patch appearing on the lawn, or a musty smell developing indoors, our team has the tools and training to locate the exact source without guesswork. We offer acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer testing, giving us several ways to confirm a leak even when it's hidden under concrete or behind plasterboard. Every job comes with a clear explanation of what we found and the recommended fix.
If you're noticing signs of a hidden leak at your Drewvale property, don't wait for the problem to worsen underneath your home. Left unchecked, a slow leak can undermine a slab, rot timber framing and drive up your water bill for months before it's noticed. Our plumbers can usually attend quickly to assess the situation and get your leak located and marked for repair. Give Drewvale Plumbing & Drains a call and let us take the guesswork out of finding your leak.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself outright. Instead, homeowners across Drewvale often notice smaller clues first: a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap is off, a patch of lawn that stays soggy no matter the weather, or ceiling stains that seem to appear from nowhere.
Left unresolved, these small signs can point to bigger problems. An under-slab leak can wash out foundation soil, an in-wall leak can rot timber studs and encourage mould, and a leaking underground main can quietly waste thousands of litres of water while your bill keeps climbing.
It's not always easy to tell whether you're dealing with a genuine plumbing leak, a stormwater issue, or simply normal seasonal dampness. That's where a proper inspection matters. Our team can quickly separate a real water leak from other moisture sources, so you're not paying for the wrong repair.
Finding a leak without the right equipment usually means unnecessary digging or costly guesswork. Drewvale Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach instead, combining several detection methods so we can confirm the exact location of your leak before any repair work begins.
Once we've confirmed where the leak sits, we can carry out the repair ourselves, whether that's a simple patch, a section of pipe replacement, or a trenchless relining solution for a slab leak. This means one trusted team handles your entire job, from diagnosis through to a lasting fix.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues that need attention. Alongside pinpointing hidden leaks, Drewvale Plumbing & Drains offers a full range of plumbing services to keep your Drewvale property running smoothly.
Our leak detection process is built around accuracy and minimal disruption to your property. We start by listening to your concerns and reviewing your water usage, then move through targeted testing before confirming the fix. Every step is explained clearly, so you always know what we've found and what happens next.
