Arundel Plumbing & Drains provides professional leak detection across Arundel and surrounding Gold Coast suburbs, using acoustic sensors, thermal cameras and tracer gas technology to find hidden leaks in walls, slabs and underground pipework. We work on homes near Arundel Park through to commercial properties along the Smith Street corridor, tracking down everything from pinhole copper leaks to slab leaks beneath tiled floors. Our approach means we find the exact source of your leak first, then repair only what's necessary, saving you from guesswork and unnecessary demolition.

Pick up the phone and speak with our team, and we'll arrange a time to inspect your property and locate the leak using non-invasive detection equipment.

Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves loudly. Instead, you might notice your water meter still spinning when every tap in the house is off, an unexplained rise in your quarterly water bill, or a patch of lawn that stays green and soggy no matter the season. Inside the home, warm spots on tiled floors, peeling paint near skirting boards or a faint musty smell in a particular room can all point to a leak working away under the slab or behind a wall.
Left unaddressed, even a small leak can lead to serious problems over time. Water tracking through a concrete slab can undermine foundations, while moisture trapped in wall cavities encourages mould growth and can damage timber framing and plasterboard. Pinhole leaks in ageing copper pipework, common in many older Arundel homes, tend to worsen gradually until a slow drip becomes a sudden burst.
The challenge is that these symptoms can also point to other issues entirely, such as stormwater ingress, a leaking shower base or condensation from an air conditioning unit. That's where professional leak detection becomes valuable, helping separate a genuine plumbing leak from other causes before any repair work begins.
Finding a hidden leak takes more than a hunch and a shovel. Arundel Plumbing & Drains uses a layered approach to leak detection, combining several technologies so we can confirm the exact location of a leak before any pipe is exposed or slab is opened.
Once we've pinpointed the leak, we mark the exact spot and talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section of pipe replacement or a broader repipe for older copper systems. This targeted approach means less mess, less cost and a faster return to normal for your Arundel home or business.
Leak detection often uncovers issues beyond the leak itself, from ageing drainage systems to broader plumbing concerns. Arundel Plumbing & Drains offers a full range of complementary services across Arundel to keep your property's plumbing and drainage working as it should.
We follow a consistent, methodical process for every leak detection job, so you always know what to expect from Arundel Plumbing & Drains. This structured approach lets us confirm the leak's exact location before recommending any repair, avoiding unnecessary excavation or demolition. Here's how we get to the bottom of your water loss.
We review your water usage, check the meter and ask about symptoms like damp patches or high bills to narrow down the likely leak area.
Using acoustic sensors, thermal cameras and tracer gas where needed, we pinpoint the leak's exact location without random digging.
We mark the leak, explain your repair options in plain terms and can carry out the fix on the spot or provide a written report for insurance purposes.
