Chandler Plumbing & Drains provides thorough leak detection across Chandler and the wider Brisbane region, from Brisbane through to the Gold Coast. We handle everything from acoustic leak detection on mains and copper lines through to thermal camera scans on slabs, ceilings and wall cavities.

If you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn, or the sound of running water with no obvious cause, it's worth getting a professional out sooner rather than later. Hidden leaks rarely resolve themselves and can lead to mould, structural damage or wasted water over time. Give our local team a call, we'll talk through what you're experiencing and arrange for a technician to investigate.
Water leaks aren't always obvious. A pipe hidden beneath a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or under the lawn can leak for weeks before any visible sign appears, quietly pushing up your water bill and weakening the structure around it. Many Chandler homeowners only discover the issue once they notice a warm patch on the flooring, a musty smell in a particular room, or a water meter that keeps ticking over even when every tap in the house is switched off.
Left unchecked, these leaks can lead to bigger headaches: cracked slabs, lifted tiles, rotting timber frames, mould growth and even damage to nearby foundations. A pinhole leak in ageing copper hot water pipes might seem minor at first, but over time it can saturate insulation and ceiling linings, leading to costly repairs. Sewer and stormwater leaks bring their own risks too, including unpleasant odours and soggy patches in the yard that are often mistaken for irrigation or drainage issues.
Knowing the difference between a plumbing leak, a stormwater issue and general dampness matters, because sending the wrong trade to investigate wastes time and money. That's where professional leak detection comes in, using proper equipment to confirm exactly what's going on before any digging or demolition begins.
Chandler Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven techniques to locate the exact source of a leak before any pipework is disturbed. Our technicians narrow down the leak's location using specialised equipment and confirm it with a second method wherever possible, so there's no jackhammering a slab or guessing at the problem before work begins.
Once the leak is marked, we can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a copper pipe section replacement, a patch repair or a broader relining solution for older or heavily pitted pipework. Our aim is to fix the problem properly the first time, backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing and drainage work. If our technicians uncover a related issue while tracking down your leak, our broader range of services means we can address it during the same visit.
Finding a hidden leak takes the right combination of experience and equipment. Our process is designed to confirm the source of the problem before any invasive work begins, saving you unnecessary cost and mess.
We start with isolation tests and a walk-through of your property to narrow down where the leak could be coming from.
Acoustic, thermal or tracer gas equipment is used to pinpoint the exact leak location without random digging.
The leak is marked and documented, then repaired on the spot or detailed in a report for your insurer.
Leak detection is one part of what we offer local home and business owners. Our team also handles blocked drains, pipe relining, general plumbing repairs and emergency callouts, giving you one trusted number to call whatever the issue.
