Non-Invasive Methods
We locate leaks using acoustic and thermal equipment, so we only open up the section of wall, floor or slab that actually needs repair.
For more than 20 years, Grange Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Grange track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's hiding under a concrete slab, behind a tiled shower wall or along the mains line running from the meter to the house. We understand the character homes and newer builds found throughout Grange and the wider Brisbane region, and we know how quickly a small drip can turn into structural damage if it's left unchecked. That local knowledge, paired with genuine leak detection experience, is why Grange residents call us first when something doesn't add up on their water bill.

Grange Plumbing & Drains provides accurate, non-invasive leak detection to homes and businesses throughout Grange and greater Brisbane. Using acoustic listening equipment, thermal cameras and moisture meters, our plumbers can pinpoint hidden water leaks in walls, under slabs, along the mains and inside older copper hot water systems. We work carefully around the character homes and newer developments common to Grange, marking the exact leak location before any digging or wall opening begins. Whether it's a spinning water meter, an unexplained spike in your water bill or a damp patch that won't dry out, our team has the tools and training to find the source quickly.
If you've noticed a musty smell, warm patches on the floor, or a water bill that doesn't make sense, don't leave it to guesswork. Ignoring a hidden leak in a Grange home can lead to mould, warped flooring and even structural damage over time. Pick up the phone and tell us what you're noticing, and we'll arrange a time to get out and locate the problem properly. Early detection is almost always cheaper and less disruptive than waiting until the leak surfaces on its own.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. More often, it shows up as a water bill that's crept up for no obvious reason, a patch of lawn that stays green while the rest turns brown, or a faint sound of running water when every tap in the house is switched off. In older Grange homes with original copper plumbing, pinhole leaks can develop in hot water lines and slowly seep into wall cavities or under flooring for months before anyone notices.
Left unaddressed, these leaks can cause far more than a soggy patch of carpet. Water tracking under a concrete slab can undermine flooring, timber can warp and swell, and damp wall cavities create the perfect conditions for mould to take hold. There's also the question of what type of leak you're actually dealing with: a genuine water supply leak, a stormwater issue after heavy rain, or seepage from an ageing sewer line all look similar on the surface but need very different fixes.
Grange Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven detection technology and hands-on plumbing experience to find leaks accurately the first time. Rather than digging up your yard or smashing through tiles on a hunch, our team narrows down the leak location before any repair work begins.
Once we've marked the leak, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a straightforward patch repair, a copper section replacement, or a broader repipe if your home's plumbing is due for an upgrade. Every quote is fixed and confirmed before we start any repair work, so there are no surprises once the job is done.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues that need attention, from ageing drainage to failing pipe joints. Here are a few related services we provide throughout Grange and Brisbane once your leak has been located and repaired.

We start by understanding the symptoms you've noticed, move through to precise leak location using specialist equipment, and finish with a straightforward repair or a written report if that's what you need. This structured approach means less disruption to your Grange property and a clear explanation of what's actually going on beneath the surface.
