Kirra Plumbing & Drains provides dedicated water leak detection across Kirra and surrounding Gold Coast suburbs, using acoustic listening equipment, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find leaks in walls, under slabs and along underground mains. Whether it's a spinning water meter, an unexplained spike in your water bill or a damp patch appearing near your driveway, we track the source without unnecessary excavation or guesswork. Our fixed pricing means you know the cost before any work begins, and our Tidy Tradie approach means we leave your property as clean as we found it.
If you've noticed soggy patches near your meter box, a musty smell in a particular room or copper pipes showing signs of pitting, don't wait for a small leak to become a costly repair. Call Kirra Plumbing & Drains on {{phone_number}} and one of our local leak detection plumbers will arrange a time to get to the bottom of the problem, backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee on any repair work carried out.
A leak doesn't always announce itself with a burst pipe or a flooded floor. More often, it shows up as a quietly climbing water bill, a patch of lawn that stays wet long after rain, or a faint hum coming from inside a wall. Left unchecked, an undetected water leak can rot timber frames, undermine a concrete slab, or encourage mould in wall cavities and ceilings.
Older copper hot water pipes are particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting, while poly and PEX lines can develop slow weeps at joints that are almost impossible to spot without the right equipment. Stormwater and sewer seepage can also mimic a water leak, which is why correctly diagnosing the source matters before any excavation or repair work begins.
If your water meter keeps ticking over with every tap turned off, or you've spotted a damp ceiling with no obvious roof leak, it's worth having a licensed leak detection plumber investigate before the damage spreads further.
Kirra Plumbing & Drains relies on non-invasive leak detection technology to find the exact source of a problem before any tiles, walls or slabs are opened up. Rather than guessing where a leak might be, we use purpose-built diagnostic tools to confirm it, then mark the precise spot for repair.
Once the leak is confirmed, our plumbers can carry out the repair, from a simple copper section replacement to under-slab pipe relining, so you're not left waiting on a second contractor.
Leak detection often uncovers other issues within the plumbing or drainage system, so our Kirra team offers a full range of related services to get everything sorted in one visit.
Finding a hidden leak isn't about guesswork, it's about following a consistent, proven process that narrows down the source before any repair begins. Our Kirra plumbers combine listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to confirm exactly where water is escaping, then explain the findings in plain language before any work starts.
We start with a water meter and isolation test to confirm whether the leak sits inside or outside your home.
Acoustic, thermal and tracer methods are used to pinpoint the exact section of pipe or fitting that's leaking.
Once marked, we carry out the repair or relining work needed, backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
