Fully Licensed & Insured
Our leak detection technicians are fully licensed, insured and trained in acoustic and thermal detection methods.
For two decades, Buranda Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and businesses across Buranda and greater Brisbane track down hidden water leaks before they cause real damage. Our technicians combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's under a concrete slab, behind a tiled shower wall or along the mains line running to your meter. We've worked on plumbing ranging from older Queenslander homes to newer townhouses close to the busway, so we understand the quirks common to this pocket of Brisbane. That local knowledge, paired with proper diagnostic equipment, means we locate leaks quickly without unnecessary digging or demolition.

Buranda Plumbing & Drains provides professional water leak detection to homes and businesses throughout Buranda and the wider Brisbane region. Using acoustic correlators, thermal cameras and pressure testing, we locate leaking pipes under slabs, inside walls and along underground mains without guesswork. Every job comes with upfront fixed pricing, so you know the cost before any work begins, and our Tidy Tradie approach means we leave your property exactly as we found it.
If your water bill has jumped without explanation, you've noticed a damp patch on the lawn or your water meter keeps spinning when everything's turned off, don't wait for the problem to worsen. A small leak under a slab or behind a wall can quietly cause structural damage, mould and wasted water for months before anyone notices. Pick up the phone and speak with our Buranda team today, and we'll arrange a technician to get to the bottom of it.
Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we're called out to in Buranda are quiet ones: a slow drip behind a shower wall, a pinhole in an ageing copper hot water line, or a crack in the poly pipe running under the slab. Left alone, these small leaks can rot timber flooring, lift tiles, feed mould growth and push your water bill up month after month.
Other times, the signs are more obvious but the source isn't. A soggy patch appears in the yard, the driveway stays wet for no reason, or the water meter keeps ticking over even with every tap closed. It isn't always clear whether you're dealing with a mains water leak, a stormwater issue or sewer seepage, and guessing wrong can mean paying for the wrong repair entirely. A proper diagnostic visit, rather than a shot in the dark, saves both time and money.
Rather than opening walls or breaking concrete on a hunch, our team uses proven, non-invasive leak detection methods to narrow down the exact location of the problem first. This means less mess, a faster fix and a smaller repair bill once the source is confirmed.
Once we've marked the leak, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a patch repair, a section of pipe replaced, or a broader repipe, so you can make an informed decision before any work starts.
Leak detection often uncovers a wider plumbing issue, so our Buranda team offers a full range of related services to fix the problem properly the first time.
We keep our leak detection process straightforward, so you know exactly what to expect from the first phone call through to the final repair. Every step is explained in plain language, with fixed pricing agreed before any work begins. Our licensed technicians work methodically, using the least invasive method first, so your Buranda property stays as undisturbed as possible.
Tell us what you've noticed, whether it's a high bill or a damp patch, and we'll arrange a technician to inspect the property.
We use acoustic, thermal and pressure testing equipment to pinpoint the source without unnecessary digging or demolition.
Once confirmed, we'll quote the repair upfront and provide a written report you can keep or pass on to your insurer.
