Our licensed technicians use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint leaks under slabs, behind walls and along underground mains, all without unnecessary digging. We know the character homes near Doomben Racecourse just as well as the properties closer to Nudgee Road, and we tailor our approach to suit the plumbing quirks of each property type. That local knowledge, paired with genuine field experience, means we locate the true source of a leak quickly and recommend a fix that lasts.
Every leak detection specialist sent to your property is fully licensed, insured and trained on the latest detection equipment.
Hendra homeowners and business owners rely on us time and again for honest advice and accurate leak location.
You'll receive an upfront fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises once the leak is found.
Our team has spent over 20 years refining the techniques we use to locate even the most stubborn hidden leaks.
Hendra Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating hidden water leaks using acoustic detection, thermal imaging and pressure testing, so you avoid the guesswork and expense of blind excavation. Whether it's a slab leak pushing up your water bill, a pinhole in an ageing copper pipe or a leaking shower wetting the wall cavity, our technicians pinpoint the exact source before any repair work begins. Every job comes with upfront fixed pricing and a lifetime workmanship guarantee, so you know the fix is built to last. Our Tidy Tradie approach also means we leave your home or business as clean as we found it, no matter how tricky the leak turns out to be.
Properties across Hendra, from the streets bordering Doomben Racecourse through to those nearer Hendra State School, often have ageing copper pipework or slab construction that hides leaks well out of sight. If you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell indoors, don't wait for the problem to worsen beneath the floor or behind a wall. Give our friendly local team a call and we'll arrange for a qualified leak detection specialist to visit your Brisbane property and get to the bottom of it.
A leak that stays hidden rarely stays small. Water escaping under a slab or inside a wall cavity can travel a surprising distance before it ever shows itself, softening timber frames, lifting tiles and feeding mould long before you notice a stain or a smell. By the time a damp patch appears on the ceiling or ripples show under the flooring, the leak may have been running for weeks.
Many Hendra homeowners first suspect a problem when their water bill jumps without any change in household usage, or when the water meter keeps ticking over even with every tap turned off. Others notice a warm patch on the floor from a leaking hot water line, a musty smell in a particular room, or a patch of unusually soggy lawn near the house. Left alone, these issues can lead to structural damage, mould growth and a much larger repair bill than if the leak had been caught early.
It isn't always obvious whether the moisture is coming from a water pipe, a stormwater line, a leaking shower base or even a roof issue. Getting the wrong tradesperson involved can mean unnecessary excavation in the wrong spot, so accurate detection before any repair work is the smarter first step.
Hendra Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical, non-invasive approach to finding leaks, so we open up only the section of pipe or wall that actually needs attention. Rather than guessing where a problem might be, our technicians combine several detection methods to confirm the exact location before any tools come out.
Once we've confirmed the source, we'll explain exactly what we've found and outline your repair options, whether that's a simple patch, a section replacement or a broader repipe, all under our upfront fixed pricing and lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues that need attention, so our Hendra team also offers a full range of related services to get your property back in order.
We keep our leak detection process straightforward, so you always know what's happening and why. Every step is explained in plain language, and we won't recommend opening up anything until we're confident we've found the actual source. Our Hendra technicians carry the equipment needed to complete most jobs in a single visit.
We start with acoustic equipment and a visual inspection to narrow down where the leak is likely coming from.
Thermal imaging, tracer gas or pressure testing confirm the exact location before anything is opened up.
We mark the confirmed leak, then repair it on the spot or provide a written report for your insurer or restoration team.
