With non-invasive acoustic leak detection and thermal imaging, we find the exact location for targeted repairs that don’t cause unnecessary disruption.

How to Identify a Concealed Leak

thermal image water leak detectionDamaging leaks happen out of sight. But there are some common symptoms that help you spot when something is wrong and know when to call a professional plumber:

  • Higher than usual water bills? Even a small leak can waste water, causing a spike in your quarterly rates.
  • Stains or damp patches on your walls? Moisture behind the walls or under the floors builds up, so you start to see damp patches or bubbling paint.
  • Water marks on bricks or concrete? Water from burst underground pipes pools in the soil, creating persistent water marks on your property’s exterior.
  • Signs of mould and mildew? Constant moisture encourages fungal growth in low-light areas like cabinets and under the floor.
  • Sounds of flowing, dripping or hissing water? Escaping water makes noises, so you hear running sounds even when the taps are off.
  • Unusually low water pressure? Leaks cause a constant loss of water pressure from the system, meaning you get less flow when you turn on the tap.

Why act now?

Ignoring these signs can cause more problems to your Gold Coast property and those who use it. Without a professional detection and repair, a small leak can cause massive structural damage, expensive water bills, and health risks like mould growth. As undetected water travels through your building constantly, it can rot timber frames and compromise the foundations below, well before you notice the full extent. Acting quickly prevents minor leaks from becoming major repair jobs.

Our Gold Coast Water Leak Detection Services

At Gold Coast Plumbing Experts, our licensed team uses a range of non-invasive diagnostic tools to detect water leaks and provide advice on the best repair option for your home or business. This keeps the disruption to your property at a minimum and makes sure any necessary repairs are targeted only at the problem’s source.

Depending on the situation, our leak detection methods may include:

  • Acoustic Listening Devices: Sensitive microphones that pick up sounds as they’re moved along the surface of walls or concrete slabs. They are used to find the exact location of water leaks without digging.
  • Infrared Cameras: Infrared cameras can spot temperature changes and heat signatures caused by leaks hidden behind walls or under floorboards.
  • Pressure Testing Kits: Isolating and testing the pressure within your plumbing system. Too low indicates the presence of a leak, while too high means increased likelihood of leaks.
  • Moisture Meters: These give an accurate reading of moisture levels in walls, floors, or ceilings, which can help figure out how water is moving through your home and identify damp patches.

Case Study: Leak Detection Under Outdoor Paving

In this video Matt responds to a call requiring Gold Coast leak detection. The customer has heard loud singing noises coming from his pipes. We’re here to investigate and have connected an air hose and done a pressure test which shows there is definitely a water leak. What we’re doing now is using the listening equipment and we’ve detected with our ground microphone on hard services a high reading of 662dB. That’s telling us the leak is right under the square paver. Now we have a discussion with the property owner about digging and repairing the leak.

Leak Detection FAQ

How much does water detection cost?

The experience of a plumbing service and type of equipment that needs to be used will influence the cost of water leak detection. A more hidden leak may take more time to pinpoint. To have a better idea of the cost, call Gold Coast Plumbing Experts today. When it comes to repairs, precision water leak detection saves you money as there is less disruption and time needed since the location of the leak is accurately known.

Is there a tool to detect a water leak?

We use the latest in precision acoustic leak detectors to find the source of a leak. These listening devices are able to pick up tiny differences in sounds made by water passing through pipes versus leaks and breaks. Your plumber points the microphone receiver along a wall, concrete slab or other surface. The signal is amplified and relayed to headphones, allowing an experienced plumber to accurately locate the leak by listening for the difference in sound where the pipe is broken.

How do I find a water leak under concrete?

You may suspect water leaking under concrete if you see water pooling on a slab floor, damp patches beside driveways or have a high water bill. Advanced water leak detection technology can detect water leaks under concrete with ease, meaning the most efficient repairs and minimal concrete cutting if it’s deemed necessary.

What if you can’t find our leak?

Our job is to find a solution to all your plumbing needs, that goes for leak detection too! It’s quite rare that our plumbing team would be unable to explain a leakage. In fact, we are even hired by other plumbers to lend our leak detection expertise.
