Our technicians use acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak without unnecessary digging or demolition.

Locals choose us because we combine two decades of plumbing leak detection experience with honest, fixed-price quoting.

Two decades of hands-on leak detection experience means we locate the problem accurately, the first time.
If your water bill has crept up without explanation, or you've spotted a damp patch on the lawn, wall or ceiling, it's worth getting a professional set of eyes and ears onto the problem before it worsens. Carina Plumbing & Drains provides dedicated leak detection across Carina and the wider Brisbane area, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to locate leaks hiding under slabs, inside wall cavities or along the water main. We work on homes and businesses throughout Carina, from older Queenslanders with ageing copper pipework to newer builds fitted with poly and PEX plumbing.
There's no need to guess where a leak might be or start pulling up flooring on a hunch. Our team arrives with the right equipment to find the source of the problem with minimal disruption, then explains exactly what's needed to fix it under our transparent, fixed-price approach. If you're dealing with an unexplained high water bill, a spinning meter, or signs of moisture where there shouldn't be any, pick up the phone and let us track it down properly.
A leak doesn't always announce itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we find in Carina homes are quiet ones: a slow drip inside a wall cavity, a pinhole in a copper hot water line, or a crack in the water main between the meter and the house. Left alone, these hidden leaks can undermine slabs, rot timber framing and send water bills climbing month after month.
You might notice a section of lawn that stays green and boggy no matter the weather, a warm patch on an otherwise cool tiled floor, or a musty smell in a room that never had one before. Sometimes the only clue is a water meter that keeps spinning even when every tap in the house is switched off. Any of these signs point to a leak that needs proper investigation rather than guesswork.
What starts as a minor drip under a slab can quietly turn into structural damage, mould growth or a much larger repair bill down the track, which is exactly why early leak detection matters.
Rather than breaking open walls or jackhammering a slab on a hunch, Carina Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical approach to leak detection that narrows down the exact location before any repair work begins. We combine several detection methods depending on the pipe material, location and type of leak, giving you an accurate diagnosis and a clear path forward.
Once we've marked the exact position of the leak, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless pipe relining under the slab. Every Carina job comes with the same fixed-price promise, so you know the cost before any work begins.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing work, particularly once the source of a problem has been confirmed. Here are a few related services we provide across Carina and greater Brisbane.
Every leak detection job follows the same clear process, so you always know what's happening and why. We take the guesswork out of finding leaks by working through each step methodically rather than jumping straight to demolition, saving you time, mess and unnecessary cost.
We start with acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging to narrow down the leak's likely location.
Once we've narrowed the search, we confirm the exact spot using pressure testing or tracer methods and mark it clearly.
We repair the leak or recommend the right next step, and provide a written report if you need one for insurance.
