Don't Let a Leak Go Unnoticed

Call Curramore Plumbing & Drains for Leak Detection in Curramore

Curramore Plumbing & Drains provides dedicated water leak detection for homes and businesses throughout Curramore and the surrounding Sunshine Coast hinterland. We use acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and nitrogen pressure testing to find hidden leaks in mains, copper pipework, poly lines and under-slab plumbing, without needing to smash through tiles, concrete or garden beds. Our upfront fixed pricing means you'll know the cost before any work begins, and our Tidy Tradie guarantee means we leave your property as clean as we found it.

If you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a wet patch appearing in the yard, or damp creeping across a wall or ceiling, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our Curramore team a call and we'll arrange a technician to assess the situation, locate the source, and explain your repair options in plain language. Acting early on a suspected leak can save you from far more disruptive and costly repairs down the track.

Facing a Hidden Leak?

Common Signs of an Undetected Water Leak

Water leaks rarely announce themselves. Instead, they show up as small, easy-to-dismiss clues such as a slightly higher water bill, a patch of grass that stays greener or wetter than the rest of the yard, or a faint hissing sound near the meter box. By the time a leak becomes visible through cracked tiles, bubbling paint or a sagging ceiling, it may have been running for some time already.

Left unchecked, an undetected leak can lead to soil erosion beneath a slab, timber rot, mould growth and even structural movement in older Sunshine Coast homes. Copper hot water pipes are particularly prone to pinhole leaks as they age, while poly and PVC lines can develop slow drips at joints and fittings that are almost impossible to spot without the right equipment.

It's also worth knowing that not every wet patch is a plumbing issue. Stormwater, roof leaks and even pool water can mimic the symptoms of a water main leak, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters before any excavation or repair work begins.

    Our Solution

    How Curramore Plumbing & Drains Finds Leaks in Curramore Without the Guesswork

    Curramore Plumbing & Drains relies on proven, non-invasive leak detection technology rather than trial and error. This approach lets us confirm exactly where a leak sits before any digging, drilling or wall opening takes place, saving you from unnecessary damage and expense.

    • Acoustic and ground microphone listening for pressurised leaks in mains, copper and poly pipework
    • Thermal imaging to trace temperature changes from hot and cold water leaks in walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Nitrogen pressure testing and isolation tests to confirm which section of pipe is affected
    • Tracer gas methods for plastic pipe or noisy sites where acoustic testing alone is inconclusive
    • Meter-to-house main tracing to determine whether a spinning meter points to a leak on your property

    Once the leak is marked, our licensed plumbers can carry out the repair, whether that's a simple patch, a section replacement, or a trenchless reline under the slab, all backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

      FAQs

      Your Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Water leaks can be confusing, especially when there's no obvious sign of water pooling anywhere. Below, our Curramore team answers some of the questions we're asked most often about finding and fixing hidden leaks.

      A hidden leak often shows up as subtle changes rather than obvious flooding. Keep an eye out for a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap and appliance is switched off, a section of lawn or garden bed that stays wetter than the rest of the yard, or a musty smell developing indoors. Some homeowners also notice warm patches on the floor, which can point to a leaking hot water line running under the slab. If you're seeing any of these signs alongside a water bill that doesn't match your usual usage, it's worth having a leak detection specialist investigate before the issue spreads.
      In most cases, yes. We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to narrow down the leak's location before any physical opening takes place. This non-invasive approach means we can often identify the exact section of pipe involved and open up only that area, rather than searching blindly through tiles, plaster or concrete. There are occasional situations, such as very noisy sites or certain plastic pipe materials, where we may need to combine methods like tracer gas testing to get a clear result.
      Older copper pipework, particularly on hot water lines, can develop small pinhole leaks as the internal surface of the pipe wears down over the years. This pitting is a natural ageing process for copper and tends to show up as a slow drip rather than a sudden burst, which makes it harder to notice until damage has already occurred nearby. Depending on the extent of the pitting, we can usually repair the affected section, though a broader repipe may be recommended if multiple pinholes are appearing across the system.
      Yes. Once we've located the source of a leak, we can provide a written report detailing where the leak was found, the likely cause, and photographic evidence to support your findings. This kind of documentation is often requested by insurers and restoration companies before they'll approve further work, so having a clear, professional report can help move your claim along more smoothly.
      Not every damp area around a property is caused by a drinking water leak. Stormwater run-off, roof leaks, irrigation systems and even pool overflow can all create similar symptoms. Part of our job is ruling out these other sources through testing and observation, so we don't send the wrong repair team out or recommend unnecessary excavation. If the issue turns out to be drainage or sewer related rather than a water supply leak, we'll let you know and can arrange the right service instead.
      An unexplained rise in water usage is one of the most common reasons property owners contact us. Before assuming the worst, check that no taps, irrigation systems or toilets are running continuously, as these are frequent culprits. If everything appears normal but the bill remains high, an isolation test and meter check can help confirm whether the leak sits somewhere between the meter and the house, or within the internal plumbing itself. Addressing it sooner rather than later generally limits both water wastage and any resulting property damage.
