Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Scarborough Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Scarborough and the wider Moreton Bay region track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our technicians understand the mix of older copper plumbing and newer poly pipe found throughout homes on the Redcliffe Peninsula, giving us a genuine edge when pinpointing pinhole leaks, slab leaks and cavity pipe failures. We combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to locate a leak accurately the first time, rather than guessing where to dig or cut. That experience means less disruption to your home, a faster fix, and a written report you can rely on.
Every leak detection job is carried out by fully licensed, insured plumbers you can trust.
We've built our name on honest advice and reliable results for Scarborough homes and businesses.
Repairs completed after leak detection are backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Our team lives and works locally, so we understand the plumbing challenges specific to this area.
Scarborough Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating hidden water leaks throughout homes and businesses in Scarborough and greater Moreton Bay, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find the exact source without unnecessary digging or demolition. Whether it's a spinning water meter, an unexplained high water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell coming from a wall, our leak detection service gets to the bottom of it quickly and provides a clear, written report on what we find. We offer upfront fixed pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises once the job is done.
If you've noticed water pooling near your driveway, a spike in your water bill, or damp patches appearing on ceilings or walls, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Call our Scarborough team and we'll arrange a technician to assess the situation, locate the leak and talk you through the best way to fix it. Fast action protects your property, your water bill and your peace of mind.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself straight away. Instead, homeowners across Scarborough often notice a slowly climbing water bill, a water meter that keeps ticking over even with every tap turned off, or a patch of unusually green or soggy lawn that never seems to dry out. Left unchecked, these small signs can point to a slab leak, a failing copper pipe, or a leaking stormwater connection working away beneath the surface.
Inside the home, warning signs can include a musty smell in a particular room, bubbling paint or lifting tiles, or a ceiling stain that keeps returning after repainting. These issues often point to a leaking shower riser, a pinhole in an ageing hot water pipe, or a cavity wall leak that's been slowly saturating plaster and timber framing.
The longer a leak goes unnoticed, the more damage it can cause, from mould growth and timber rot to undermined slabs and inflated water bills. Catching it early with a proper leak detection service can save you from a much larger repair down the track.
Scarborough Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven, non-invasive techniques to pinpoint the exact location of a leak before any pipework is opened up or any concrete is cut. This approach means less mess, less guesswork, and a repair that targets only the section of pipe that actually needs attention.
Once the leak is marked, our plumbers can carry out the repair straight away, whether that's a patch repair, section replacement, pipe relining or a broader repipe. You'll always know the fixed price before we start, so there's no hesitation about getting the problem sorted properly.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues that need attention, so Scarborough Plumbing & Drains offers a full range of related services to get your Scarborough property back in order. From clearing the drains behind a suspected leak to repairing the pipe once it's found, our team can handle the whole job from start to finish.
Finding a hidden leak takes more than guesswork, which is why Scarborough Plumbing & Drains follows a consistent, proven process on every job across Scarborough. We start by understanding what's happening with your water usage and property, move through precise detection using specialist equipment, then finish with a clear plan and fixed price for the repair. This structured approach means fewer holes in your walls, less disruption to your garden, and a faster resolution overall.
We review your water bill, check the meter and carry out isolation testing to confirm where the leak is likely coming from.
Using acoustic equipment, thermal imaging or tracer gas, we mark the exact point of the leak before any digging or cutting begins.
You'll receive a written report on what we found, plus an upfront fixed price for the repair, so you can make an informed decision.
