Our technicians use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's hiding under a concrete slab, inside a wet wall or along the main running to your meter. We've located everything from pinhole copper leaks in ageing hot water systems to slow leaks behind showers and toilets, saving local families from costly repairs and inflated water bills. When you want a plumbing leak detection team that gets it right the first time, our experience speaks for itself.

Two decades of hands-on leak detection experience means we know exactly where to look first.
Guanaba Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating hidden water leaks throughout Guanaba and the greater Gold Coast, using acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and moisture mapping to find the source without unnecessary digging or demolition. Whether it's a slab leak under your living room, a pinhole leak in a hot water copper pipe, or a mains leak running from your meter to the house, we locate it accurately and explain exactly what needs to happen next. We work on homes, units and commercial properties, and we're just as comfortable investigating an unexplained high water bill as we are chasing a leak behind a wet wall.
If you've noticed a spinning water meter, a damp patch on the lawn, a musty smell in a room or an unusually high water bill, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Give our Guanaba team a call and we'll send a licensed leak detection plumber to investigate, locate the source and give you clear, upfront pricing before any work begins.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself straight away. Instead, you might notice your water bill creeping up for no obvious reason, a patch of lawn that stays soggy no matter the weather, or a musty smell developing in a room with no visible cause. Some homeowners only discover a problem when they spot cracked tiles, lifting timber flooring or a warm patch on the concrete slab underfoot, all common signs of an under-slab or in-wall leak.
Left undetected, a small leak can quietly turn into a much bigger issue. Water tracking through a slab or wall cavity can damage flooring, plaster and cabinetry, encourage mould growth, and in some cases affect the structural integrity of the building. Hot water copper pipes are particularly prone to pinhole leaks as they age, while poly and PEX lines can fail at joints and fittings, often out of sight until the damage is already done.
It's not always easy to tell whether you're dealing with a plumbing leak, a stormwater issue or a sewer problem, and guessing wrong can mean paying for the wrong repair. That's where a proper leak detection inspection earns its place, ruling out the wrong causes and confirming exactly what's going on before any tiles, plaster or concrete are disturbed.
Rather than guessing where a leak might be hiding, Guanaba Plumbing & Drains uses proven, non-invasive leak detection methods to pinpoint the exact location before any opening up begins. This approach protects your tiles, floors and gardens while still delivering an accurate result you can act on with confidence.
Once the leak is marked, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a section replacement, a patch repair or a broader repipe, so you're not left waiting on a second visit or a second tradesperson.
Leak detection often uncovers related issues, from an ageing pipe network to a blocked drain adding extra pressure to your system. Our team handles the full picture, so once your leak is located, we can take care of the repair and anything else your plumbing needs.
We keep our leak detection process simple and transparent, so you always know what's happening and why. From the first phone call to the final report, our Guanaba team focuses on accuracy first, so you're never paying to open up the wrong section of pipe or wall.
Call our team and describe the issue, whether it's a high bill, damp patch or spinning meter. We'll arrange a time to send a licensed plumber to investigate.
Using acoustic, thermal and tracer methods, we narrow down the exact source of the leak without unnecessary damage to your property.
Once the leak is marked, we explain your options, provide fixed pricing, and can carry out the repair on the spot if you're ready to proceed.
