Pick up the phone and speak with a local leak detection plumber who can get to the bottom of the issue.

Could You Have A Hidden Leak?

The Warning Signs Of An Undetected Water Leak

A hidden leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe. More often, it shows up as a higher than usual water bill, a water meter that keeps ticking over even when every tap is off, or a soft, damp patch on the lawn that never seems to dry out. Inside the home, you might notice a musty smell in a particular room, bubbling paint, warped skirting boards or tiles that feel warm underfoot, all signs of a leak sitting beneath the slab or inside a wall cavity.

Left alone, these small leaks can lead to serious structural damage, mould growth, lifted flooring and a much larger repair bill down the track. Older copper hot water lines are particularly prone to pinhole corrosion, while poly and PEX pipes can develop weak joints over time. If a plumber has attended for something unrelated and mentioned a possible leak, or your water provider has flagged unusual usage, it's worth having the issue properly investigated before it escalates.

    Our Approach

    How Boondall Plumbing & Drains Finds Leaks In Boondall Without Guesswork

    Rather than jackhammering slabs or pulling apart walls on a hunch, Boondall Plumbing & Drains uses proven, non-invasive detection methods to pinpoint exactly where a leak sits before any repair work begins. This targeted approach protects your property and keeps costs down, because we only open up the section of pipe or floor that genuinely needs attention.

    • Acoustic listening equipment and ground microphones to trace pressurised water sounds along mains and internal pipework
    • Thermal imaging cameras to spot temperature differences caused by hot and cold water leaks under slabs and behind walls
    • Meter and isolation testing to confirm whether a spinning water meter points to a leak on the property side or the supply main
    • Tracer gas methods for plastic pipework or noisy sites where acoustic detection alone isn't conclusive
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, useful for insurance claims and restoration work

    Once we've marked the exact location, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a patch repair, a section of pipe relining or a full copper replacement. Boondall homeowners get a clear explanation of what we've found and the options available, before any work goes ahead.

      Common Questions

      Leak Detection Frequently Asked Questions

      Below are some of the questions we're asked most often about locating and repairing hidden water leaks. If you can't find what you're looking for, our team is always happy to talk you through your specific situation.

      We rely on non-invasive detection methods rather than guesswork. Acoustic listening equipment picks up the sound of pressurised water escaping from a pipe, while thermal imaging cameras highlight temperature differences caused by hot or cold water leaks beneath slabs or behind plaster. For plastic pipework or particularly noisy sites, we may also use tracer gas to narrow down the exact location. Once we're confident of the leak's position, we mark the spot so any repair work is targeted rather than exploratory.
      Keep an eye out for a water meter that keeps moving even when every tap and appliance is switched off, a noticeable jump in your water usage without any change in habits, or damp patches on the lawn, driveway or internal flooring that never seem to dry out. Musty smells, peeling paint, warped skirting boards and warm spots on tiled floors can also point to a leak sitting under a slab or inside a wall cavity.
      Yes, this is an important part of our assessment. Drinking water leaks, sewer seepage and stormwater problems all behave differently and require different solutions. We take the time to properly diagnose which system is actually causing the issue, so the right team and equipment is used rather than starting with unnecessary excavation.
      Older copper hot water lines are known to develop pitting and pinhole corrosion over time, particularly in properties with certain water chemistry. These pinhole leaks can be tricky to spot early because they often start small. If we locate pinhole corrosion, we'll talk you through whether a section repair, targeted replacement or a broader repipe makes more sense for your situation.
      Yes, we can provide a written leak detection report that includes photos and the marked location of the leak. This kind of documentation is often required by insurers and restoration companies to support a claim, and it gives everyone involved a clear picture of what was found and where.
      Once we've confirmed the source, we'll explain exactly what we've found and walk you through the repair options available, whether that's a straightforward patch repair, replacing a section of pipe, or a more involved fix like relining. You'll have a clear picture of what's involved before any repair work goes ahead, and every repair we carry out is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
