Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor over 20 years, Coombabah Plumbing & Drains has been a trusted name for leak detection across Coombabah and the wider Gold Coast. Our licensed plumbers use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint hidden water leaks under slabs, inside walls and beneath timber floors, without unnecessary digging or demolition. We understand the older copper hot water systems and poly pipe common in homes near Coombabah Lakes and the Broadwater, and we know exactly where pinhole leaks and cavity pipe failures tend to develop. Home and business owners throughout Coombabah, Paradise Point, Helensvale and Runaway Bay call on us when a high water bill, damp wall or soggy lawn signals a leak that needs a professional eye.
Every technician we send is fully licensed, insured and trained on the latest acoustic and thermal leak detection equipment.
Home and business owners across Coombabah rely on our accurate, non-invasive leak location services.
Every repair completed after locating your leak is backed by a lifetime workmanship guarantee for genuine peace of mind.
As a locally run Gold Coast business, we know Coombabah's plumbing, soil conditions and common pipe issues inside out.
If you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a damp patch on a wall or a soggy corner of the yard that never seems to dry out, Coombabah Plumbing & Drains can help. We specialise in locating hidden water leaks under slabs, inside cavity walls, along underground mains and within ageing copper hot water lines throughout Coombabah and the surrounding Gold Coast suburbs. Using acoustic listening devices, ground microphones, correlators and thermal cameras, our team finds the exact source of the problem before a single tile or brick is disturbed.
There's no need to guess where a leak might be or start pulling up flooring on a hunch. Whether it's a mains water leak between the meter and your house, a leaking shower riser, or an unexplained rise in usage your water provider has flagged, we'll isolate the issue, mark the exact location and provide a clear report before any repair work begins. If you're dealing with a suspected leak anywhere in Coombabah, {{phone_number}} connects you directly to a local plumber who can get to the bottom of it.
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we're called out to in Coombabah hide under concrete slabs, inside brick cavities or beneath timber flooring, and the first clue is often a water bill that's climbed for no obvious reason. A water meter that keeps spinning after every tap and appliance is switched off is one of the clearest signs that water is escaping somewhere between the meter and your home.
Other warning signs include a warm patch on an otherwise cool tiled floor, musty smells in a particular room, lifting timber flooring, or a section of lawn that stays soggy even during dry Gold Coast weather. Older copper hot water pipework is prone to pitted, pinhole leaks that slowly weep moisture into a wall cavity or under-slab void, while poly and PEX fittings can develop small leaks at joins that are almost impossible to spot without the right equipment.
Left unchecked, a hidden leak can undermine a slab, damage skirting boards and cabinetry, and lead to mould growth long before it's visually obvious. Acting early and calling a leak detection plumber who can accurately locate the source, rather than guessing, saves both money and unnecessary demolition.
Coombabah Plumbing & Drains combines proven acoustic technology with years of hands-on experience to find leaks accurately the first time. Rather than opening up walls or breaking concrete on a guess, our team narrows the leak down to its exact position using a mix of listening equipment, pressure testing and thermal imaging suited to your property and pipework.
Once we've confirmed exactly where the leak is, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a patch repair, a section of copper replaced, or trenchless relining under the slab, so you're never left wondering what happens next.
Leak detection often uncovers other issues hiding beneath the surface, from ageing pipework to blocked drains. Here are a few of the related services our Coombabah plumbers provide to get your home or business back on track.
