Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor over 20 years, Alderley Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners throughout Alderley track down hidden water leaks before they cause costly damage. Our technicians combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's under a concrete slab, hidden inside a wall cavity or running along the main between the meter and the house. We've worked on the older timber floors and slab foundations common throughout Alderley, as well as newer builds closer to Kedron Brook, so we understand the plumbing quirks specific to this part of Brisbane. When you need accurate, no-guesswork leak detection, our experience means less disruption and a faster path to repair.
Every leak detection specialist on our team is licensed, insured and trained on the latest detection equipment.
Households across Alderley rely on us for honest, accurate leak detection and straight answers.
Every repair carried out after a leak detection is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Our plumbers understand the soil, slabs and pipework typical of homes across Brisbane's northern suburbs.
Alderley Plumbing & Drains provides dedicated leak detection services to homeowners and business owners throughout Alderley and greater Brisbane. Rather than relying on guesswork or unnecessary excavation, we use acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to locate the precise point of a leak, then repair it with minimal disruption to your property. Whether you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell inside the home, our team can investigate and provide clear answers.
If you suspect a leak anywhere on your property, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Unaddressed leaks can undermine slab foundations, damage flooring and inflate water bills month after month. Give our Alderley team a call and we'll arrange a technician to assess the situation, trace the source and recommend the right fix, backed by upfront pricing so you know the cost before any work begins.
A leak doesn't always announce itself with a puddle on the floor. Many of the hidden leaks we find in Alderley first show up as an unusually high water bill, a warm patch on tiled flooring, or a section of lawn that stays soggy no matter the weather. Others reveal themselves through the sound of running water when every tap in the house is off, or a water meter that keeps spinning even with everything switched off.
Left alone, a hidden leak can quietly damage timber flooring, undermine a concrete slab or encourage mould growth inside wall cavities. Copper pipes in older hot water systems are particularly prone to pinhole leaks as they age, while poly and PEX lines can fail at joints and fittings. Whatever the cause, our job is to find the exact source before any digging or demolition starts, so repairs stay targeted and cost-effective.
Alderley Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical, non-invasive approach to leak detection, drawing on a combination of proven technologies rather than relying on a single method. Depending on the property and the suspected leak location, our technicians may use:
Once we've marked the exact location, we'll talk you through the findings and the repair options, whether that's a patch repair, a section of pipe replacement or trenchless relining under the slab. For Alderley homes on older poly or copper systems, this targeted approach avoids unnecessary excavation and keeps repair costs sensible.
Leak detection often overlaps with other plumbing issues, so Alderley Plumbing & Drains also handles the repairs and drainage work that frequently follow a leak diagnosis. Here are a few related services our Alderley customers ask about most.
We follow a consistent, methodical process on every leak detection job in Alderley, so you always know what to expect and why. Each step is designed to narrow down the leak's location before any invasive work begins, keeping repairs precise and minimising damage to your property. Our technicians explain their findings in plain language and provide a written report where one is needed, such as for insurance or a property purchase.
We start by discussing the symptoms you've noticed, then run isolation tests on your water meter to confirm whether the leak sits on the property side.
Using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras or tracer gas depending on the pipework, we pinpoint the exact source without unnecessary digging.
Once located, we mark the leak, walk you through the repair options and carry out the fix, from a simple patch to under-slab relining.
