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.
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.
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.
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.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing and drainage work, so our Curramore team offers a full range of related services to fix the problem at its source. Below are a few of the services our customers frequently pair with a leak location visit.
We keep our leak detection process straightforward so Curramore property owners always know what's happening and why.
