We know an undetected leak can quietly damage flooring, foundations and gardens while pushing up your water bill, so we work efficiently to find the exact source before recommending a repair.

Our team services properties across Logan, from Bahrs Scrub to the surrounding suburbs, and we arrive ready to diagnose the issue with the right equipment for the job, whether it's a scheduled inspection or emergency leak detection. Pick up the phone and speak with our friendly team, and we'll arrange a technician to assess your property and give you clear, honest answers about what's happening beneath the surface.

Could You Have a Hidden Leak?

Signs of a Hidden Water Leak in Your Home

Not every leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we find in Bahrs Scrub homes are hidden under concrete slabs, inside wall cavities or buried beneath the lawn, and they can go unnoticed for months while quietly causing damage. A water bill that's crept up without explanation, a mysteriously warm patch on the floor, or the constant sound of running water when every tap is off are all warning signs worth taking seriously.

Left undetected, a slab leak or underground water leak can undermine foundations, encourage mould growth and even attract termites drawn to the moisture. Copper pipes in older hot water systems are particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting over time, while poly and PVC pipework can develop leaks at joins or through ground movement. The longer a leak runs unchecked, the more expensive the resulting damage tends to become.

Whether the issue turns out to be a leaking mains pipe between the meter and your house, a failed shower waterproofing membrane, or a leaking toilet cistern, getting an accurate diagnosis early makes all the difference. Our team can distinguish between plumbing leaks and other causes, such as stormwater or sewer seepage, so the right fix is applied the first time.

    Our Solution

    How Bahrs Scrub Plumbing & Drains Locates Leaks in Bahrs Scrub Properties

    Bahrs Scrub Plumbing & Drains combines proven leak detection methods with non-invasive technology to find the exact source of a leak, whether it's under a slab, in a wall cavity or along an underground water line. We tailor our approach to each property, which means less guesswork, less unnecessary digging and a faster path to repair.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping mains, copper and poly pipes
    • Thermal imaging to trace temperature changes from hot and cold water leaks hidden in walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Pressure and isolation testing to confirm whether a leak sits on the meter-to-house main or within your internal plumbing
    • Tracer gas and non-invasive correlation methods for plastic pipework or sites where acoustic testing alone isn't conclusive
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, suitable for insurance claims and restoration companies

    Once we've marked the exact location, our plumbers can carry out the repair, whether that's a targeted patch, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless pipe relining under the slab. You'll always know what we've found and what the recommended fix involves before any work begins.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Leak detection can raise a lot of questions, especially if it's something you haven't dealt with before. Our team has put together answers to the questions we're asked most often by Bahrs Scrub homeowners and business owners, drawing on years of hands-on plumbing experience.

      Common signs include a water bill that's higher than usual without an obvious cause, a section of lawn or floor that stays damp or unusually green, the sound of running water when every tap and appliance is switched off, or a warm patch on the flooring if the leak involves your hot water line. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth having a licensed plumber investigate before the issue causes further damage to your property.
      We rely on non-invasive techniques wherever possible, including acoustic listening equipment that picks up the sound of pressurised water escaping underground or within walls, thermal imaging that reveals temperature changes caused by leaking hot or cold water, and pressure testing to isolate which section of pipework is affected. These methods allow us to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any digging, tiling removal or demolition takes place, so only the affected section needs to be opened up.
      Yes, distinguishing between these is an important part of an accurate diagnosis. A leaking water pipe, a sewer line seeping underground and stormwater pooling after rain can all create similar wet patches in a yard, but they require completely different repairs. Our team assesses the pattern of moisture, checks water usage and, where needed, uses CCTV inspection to confirm exactly which system is responsible before recommending a fix.
      An unexplained rise in water usage is one of the most common reasons people contact us. It can point to a leak anywhere between the water meter and your home, a running toilet cistern, a dripping tap that's gone unnoticed, or a leak within an irrigation system. We can carry out an isolation test at your meter to confirm whether water is escaping somewhere on your property, then narrow down the exact source from there.
      Even when you have a general idea, professional leak detection helps confirm the exact point of failure before any repair work begins. Opening up the wrong section of wall or slab based on a guess can lead to unnecessary damage and repair costs. Pinpointing the precise location first means only the affected area needs to be accessed, which keeps the repair as straightforward as possible.
      Yes, we can prepare a written leak detection report that outlines the source and location of the leak, supported by photos and marked positions. This kind of documentation is often required by insurers and restoration companies before a claim can proceed, and having a clear, professional report can help avoid delays in getting your claim assessed.
