Torwood Plumbing & Drains provides professional leak detection across Torwood and the wider Brisbane area, helping households and businesses find hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. From pinhole leaks in old copper hot water lines to underground mains between the meter and the house, we use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and moisture meters to pinpoint the exact source without unnecessary damage. Our team also investigates high water bills, sewer versus stormwater confusion, and leaks hidden inside walls, under slabs or beneath timber floors.
If you have noticed a wet patch in the yard, mould creeping along a skirting board or a water meter that keeps ticking over with everything switched off, it is worth getting it checked sooner rather than later. Left alone, a hidden leak can undermine foundations, rot timber framing and push up your water bill month after month. Give our Torwood team a call and we will arrange a time to come out, run our tests and explain exactly what we find in plain language.
Many leaks in Torwood properties stay hidden for months before anyone notices, quietly working away under a slab, inside a wall cavity or beneath the timber floors common in the area's older Queenslanders. By the time a stain appears on the ceiling or the timber floor starts to lift, the damage is often already done. Some of the more common warning signs include a water meter that keeps spinning when every tap is off, an unusually high water bill with no obvious explanation, or a musty smell in a room that never seems to clear.
Other leaks show up as damp patches on the lawn, cracked or lifting tiles, or a hot spot on the slab that feels noticeably warmer than the surrounding floor. Older copper hot water pipes are particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting over time, while poly and PEX lines can develop slow leaks at joints and fittings. Left untreated, these issues can lead to structural damage, mould growth and a significant amount of wasted water, which is why early leak detection matters.
Rather than breaking into walls or digging up the yard on a hunch, our Torwood plumbers use a combination of proven detection methods to narrow down exactly where a leak is coming from. We start by isolating the problem, checking whether it is coming from the water supply, the sewer line or stormwater drainage, before applying the right technology to the job.
Once we have marked the exact location, we talk you through the options, whether that is a straightforward patch repair, a section replacement or a broader repipe for older, heavily pitted copper. If you need documentation for an insurance claim, we can also provide a written leak detection report with photos and location marks that your insurer or restoration company can act on.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing or drainage issues along the way, which is why Torwood Plumbing & Drains offers a full range of related services for Torwood homes and businesses. From clearing a blocked drain that is contributing to a wet patch in the yard to relining an ageing pipe once a leak has been repaired, our team can handle the entire job from start to finish.
Our leak detection process is built around accuracy and minimal disruption, so we find the source of the problem without unnecessary mess or guesswork. Every step is explained clearly along the way, and we will not recommend opening up a wall, slab or lawn until we are confident we know exactly where the leak is coming from. This approach keeps repairs targeted, protects your property and helps you avoid paying for work you do not actually need.
We start with a full assessment of your plumbing, checking meters, fixtures and visible signs to narrow down where the leak might be.
Using acoustic, thermal or tracer gas equipment, we pinpoint the exact position of the leak before any digging or demolition.
Once located, we repair the leak, tidy up the work area and provide a clear report of what we found and what was done.
