Welsby Plumbing & Drains offers professional water leak detection services throughout Welsby and the greater Moreton Bay area, using acoustic sensors, thermal cameras and non-invasive testing to locate leaks hiding under slabs, behind walls and beneath timber floors. We work on residential and commercial properties alike, tracking down everything from pitted copper pinholes in ageing hot water systems to leaking mains between the meter and the house. Our team arrives with the right equipment to find the leak accurately, saving you from guesswork and unnecessary excavation.
If you've noticed a spinning water meter, an unexplained rise in your water bill, or a musty smell that won't go away, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our Welsby team a call and we'll talk you through what to expect, provide a fixed price before we start, and get your leak located and repaired with minimal disruption to your home or business.
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves with a burst pipe. More often, they show up as a warmer patch on the concrete slab, a spike in your water bill, or a soft, spongy section of lawn that stays wet no matter the weather. Left unchecked, a slow leak under a slab or timber floor can undermine flooring, encourage mould growth and quietly waste a significant amount of water.
In older Welsby homes, copper hot water pipes are especially prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting corrosion, while poly and PEX lines can develop weak joints over time. Leaks behind tiled showers or within wall cavities often go unnoticed until plaster starts to bubble or timber skirting begins to swell.
Whatever the cause, the longer a leak goes undetected, the more expensive the damage becomes. Recognising the early warning signs and calling a qualified plumber for a proper inspection is the best way to protect your property and your water bill.
Welsby Plumbing & Drains takes the guesswork out of finding hidden water leaks. Rather than relying on random jackhammering or trial-and-error excavation, our Welsby plumbers use a methodical, evidence-based approach supported by professional-grade detection equipment.
Once the leak is confirmed and marked, we discuss your repair options honestly, whether that's a patch repair, section replacement or trenchless pipe relining, so you can make an informed decision before any work begins.
Leak detection often uncovers other underlying plumbing issues, so our Welsby team offers a full range of related services to get everything sorted in one visit.

We review your water usage, check fittings and use isolation testing to narrow down where the leak might be.
Acoustic sensors, thermal imaging and tracer methods are used to mark the exact leak location before any opening up.
Once confirmed, we discuss repair options and provide a clear report, ideal for insurance or your own records.
