For more than 20 years, Kureelpa Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and businesses throughout Kureelpa track down hidden water leaks before they cause serious damage.

We combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras and tracer gas technology to pinpoint the exact source of a leak without unnecessary digging or demolition. This local knowledge, paired with genuine plumbing expertise, is why homeowners across Kureelpa and the wider Sunshine Coast region trust us to get it right the first time.

Suspect a Hidden Leak? Kureelpa Plumbing & Drains is Ready to Help

Whether it's a spinning water meter, a musty smell under the carpet or an unexplained spike in your water bill, Kureelpa Plumbing & Drains has the tools and training to find the problem fast. We service homes and businesses throughout Kureelpa and the surrounding Sunshine Coast hinterland, using non-invasive methods that protect your gardens, driveways and floors while we track down the leak. From pinhole leaks in ageing copper hot water pipes to a burst main between the meter and the house, our team has seen it all and knows exactly what to look for.

If you've noticed damp patches on the lawn, peeling paint, or a water bill that simply doesn't add up, don't wait for the problem to worsen. A small leak left untreated can quietly undermine a slab, rot timber framing or lead to costly mould growth. Give our Kureelpa leak detection team a call today and we'll get to the bottom of it with precision, honesty and a fixed price agreed before we start.

Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak

Is a Concealed Water Leak Costing You Money?

Not every leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor. Many hidden leaks develop slowly behind walls, beneath concrete slabs or underground between the meter and your house, only becoming obvious once the damage is already done. A sudden rise in your water bill, an unusually green or soggy patch of lawn, or the sound of running water when every tap is off are all common warning signs worth investigating.

Left undetected, these leaks can lead to far more than wasted water. Timber flooring can warp, plasterboard can bubble and stain, and a slow leak under a slab can eventually contribute to movement in the foundation. Older Kureelpa properties with original copper pipework are particularly prone to pinhole corrosion, while poly and PEX lines can develop weak joints as they age.

The good news is that most of these problems can be pinpointed without guesswork. Using acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging, our technicians can usually identify a leak's exact location before a single tile is lifted, saving you both time and unnecessary repair costs.

    Our Approach

    Kureelpa Plumbing & Drains's Leak Detection Solution for Kureelpa Properties

    Kureelpa Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical, non-invasive approach to every leak detection job, combining modern technology with genuine plumbing experience. Rather than guessing where the problem might be, we systematically rule out possibilities until the exact source is confirmed.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for escaping water in mains, copper and poly lines
    • Thermal imaging to trace hot and cold water trails hidden within walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Isolation and pressure testing to confirm whether a leak sits before or after the water meter
    • Tracer gas detection for tricky plastic pipework or noisy sites where acoustic methods fall short
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and location markings, ideal for insurance and restoration claims

    Once we've located the leak, we don't simply hand you a report and leave. Our licensed plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's patching a section of copper, relining a section under the slab, or replacing a failed valve, all backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

      1

      We start with isolation tests and a review of your water meter to confirm whether the leak is on the property side.

      2

      Precise Leak Location

      Using acoustic and thermal equipment, we narrow down the exact position of the leak without breaking into walls or floors.

      3

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Hidden leaks can be confusing and stressful, so we've answered some of the questions we hear most often from Kureelpa homeowners. If you don't see your question below, our team is always happy to talk you through it over the phone.

      We rely on non-invasive detection methods including acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras and tracer gas where appropriate. These tools allow us to listen for and trace the path of escaping water, narrowing down the exact location before any excavation or demolition takes place. In most cases, we can confirm the source of a leak with a high degree of accuracy, meaning only the affected section needs to be opened up for repair.
      Common warning signs include an unusually high water bill without a clear explanation, a water meter that continues to spin even when every tap and appliance is turned off, damp or unusually green patches in the yard, musty smells inside the home, and stained or bubbling walls and ceilings. If you've noticed any of these, it's worth having a professional leak detection inspection before the issue progresses further.
      Yes, slab leaks are one of the more common jobs we handle. Using acoustic correlators and thermal imaging, we can often detect the temperature changes and sound patterns associated with water escaping beneath a concrete floor. This helps us mark the precise location for repair, rather than relying on random jackhammering that damages more of the slab than necessary.
      Absolutely. Where a leak detection job relates to an insurance claim, we can supply a written report detailing the source of the leak, complete with photos and location markings. This documentation is designed to be used by insurers and restoration companies, helping to keep your claim moving without unnecessary delays.
      A plumbing leak involves water escaping from the pressurised supply lines or hot water system within your home, whereas stormwater and roof leaks are usually related to rainwater entering the property through guttering, roofing or drainage issues. Because the causes and fixes are different, it's important to correctly diagnose which type of leak you're dealing with. Our team can assess the situation and advise whether it's a plumbing issue or something better suited to a drainage or roofing specialist.
      We handle both the detection and the repair. Once we've pinpointed the source of the leak, our licensed plumbers can carry out the necessary repair on the spot in most cases, whether that involves patching a pipe, replacing a valve or arranging pipe relining for more extensive damage. This means you deal with one trusted team from diagnosis through to a finished repair.
