Two Decades of Local Leak Detection Experience

Paradise Waters' Trusted Leak Detection Specialists

Paradise Waters Plumbing & Drains has spent 20 years perfecting hidden leak detection across the canal-front homes and busy streets of Paradise Waters. We understand the plumbing challenges that come with waterfront living, from salt-affected copper pipework prone to pinhole leaks, to slab leaks hiding beneath polished concrete floors. Our technicians combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint a leak's exact location before a single tile is lifted. Locals trust us because we explain what we find in plain language, quote a fixed price upfront, and leave the property just as tidy as we found it.

Suspect a Hidden Leak? Paradise Waters Plumbing & Drains Is Ready to Help

As your local leak detection plumber, Paradise Waters Plumbing & Drains provides dedicated water leak detection for homeowners, strata managers and business owners throughout Paradise Waters and the wider Gold Coast. Whether it's a mysteriously high water bill, a damp patch appearing on the lawn, or a musty smell creeping through the house, our team arrives with the right equipment to find the source without breaking into walls unnecessarily. We work on canal-front homes, unit blocks and commercial premises alike, tracing hidden water leaks in copper, poly, PEX and galvanised pipework hidden under slabs, in cavity walls or beneath the water meter.

If you've noticed your water meter spinning with every tap turned off, or an underground water leak leaving a section of the yard wet no matter the weather, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Pick up the phone and speak with our team; we'll arrange a technician to visit your Paradise Waters property and start narrowing down the source of the leak right away. Call {{phone_number}} today and let us take the guesswork out of finding what's hiding beneath your floors or walls.

Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak

What's Really Behind That Rising Water Bill?

A hidden water leak rarely announces itself clearly. It often starts small, a slightly higher bill, a faint hissing sound in a wall cavity, or a warm patch on the tiles, long before the damage becomes obvious or expensive to repair. Slab leaks in particular can run quietly under a Paradise Waters home for months before anyone notices.

It isn't always straightforward working out where a leak is coming from. A stain on a ceiling might be a roofing issue or a leak from the bathroom above, a wet patch on the driveway could be a burst water main or simply stormwater pooling, and a dropping pool level might point to the pool shell rather than the plumbing at all. Getting this wrong means calling the wrong trade and losing time.

Left unresolved, an undetected water leak can undermine foundations, rot timber framing, encourage mould growth in wall cavities, and push your water bill higher every quarter. Waterfront properties face an added risk too, with salt air speeding up corrosion in copper pipework, leading to pinhole leaks that are easy to overlook until they've caused real damage.

    Our Approach to Finding Hidden Leaks

    How Paradise Waters Plumbing & Drains Solves Leak Problems in Paradise Waters

    Rather than relying on guesswork, Paradise Waters Plumbing & Drains uses proven, non-invasive leak detection methods to trace a leak back to its exact source before any repair work begins. Whether you need hot water leak detection, a slab leak detection assessment, or help explaining an unexplained spike in water usage, our Paradise Waters clients get a clear picture of what's happening and a fixed price to fix it.

    • Acoustic and correlation leak detection using ground microphones to trace escaping water in mains, copper and poly pipework
    • Thermal camera leak location, tracing hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs before any cutting begins
    • Slab and under-house leak detection for concrete and timber floor properties
    • Meter-to-house main testing from the toby or meter to confirm whether a spinning meter points to your line
    • Written, insurance-ready leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, plus sewer and stormwater checks to rule out the wrong culprit

    Once the leak is marked, our licensed plumbers can carry out the repair straight away, whether that's a patch repair, a section of trenchless pipe relining, or a full copper repipe for older, pitted pipework, so you won't need to call a second trade to finish what we started.

      Common Leak Detection Questions

      Your Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Hidden leaks raise plenty of questions, especially when you can't see what's causing them. Below, Paradise Waters Plumbing & Drains answers some of the questions we hear most often from Paradise Waters homeowners and business owners.

      We use non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening devices, ground microphones and thermal imaging to trace the sound and temperature signature of escaping water. This lets us narrow down the leak's location to a specific section of pipe before any digging or wall opening takes place, so only the affected area needs to be disturbed.
      Common signs include an unusually high water bill, a water meter that keeps moving when every tap and appliance is switched off, damp or soft patches in the yard, warm spots on tiled floors, musty smells inside the home, or unexplained dampness on walls and ceilings. If you notice any of these, it's worth having the property checked before the leak causes further damage.
      Yes, slab leaks (also known as under-slab leaks) are common in older copper plumbing systems and can develop from corrosion, ground movement or general pipe wear over time. Because the pipe sits beneath the concrete, the leak often shows up as a warm patch on the floor, a spike in water usage or a section of flooring that feels damp, rather than a visible puddle.
      Yes, we can provide a written leak detection report that includes photos and the marked location of the leak. This kind of documentation is often required by insurers and restoration companies to process a claim or organise repair work.
      A water leak involves the pressurised drinking water supply, while sewer and stormwater issues relate to wastewater or rainwater drainage systems. Each requires a different detection approach and repair method, so it's important to identify which system is actually affected before any work begins. We check for all three during an inspection to make sure the right fix is applied.
      Our team can carry out the repair once the leak has been located, whether that involves a patch repair, replacing a section of pipe, or a broader repipe for older, pitted copper. Having the same team handle detection and repair means less back and forth and a faster resolution overall.
