Notice a Spike in Your Water Bill? Call Tennyson Plumbing & Drains

Tennyson Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating hidden water leaks throughout Tennyson and the surrounding Brisbane suburbs, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find the source without unnecessary excavation. We investigate unexplained high water bills, wet patches in the yard, damp walls and spinning water meters, then provide a clear, written report on exactly what we find. Whether the leak sits under a concrete slab, behind a tiled shower wall or somewhere along the main between the meter and the house, our team has the tools and experience to track it down quickly.

If you have noticed a soggy patch on the lawn near your driveway, a musty smell in a particular room, or a water meter that keeps ticking over even with everything turned off, do not wait for the problem to worsen. Give Tennyson Plumbing & Drains a call and our local Tennyson plumbers will arrange a time to inspect your property, trace the leak and recommend the right fix, whether that is a simple patch repair, a section of pipe relining or a full pipe replacement.

Common Signs of Trouble

Could You Have a Hidden Water Leak?

Not every leak announces itself with a dripping tap or a burst pipe. Many of the leaks we find in Tennyson homes are hidden under concrete slabs, inside wall cavities or beneath timber flooring, only showing up as a warm patch on the floor, a musty smell or an unusually high water bill. Left unchecked, these hidden leaks can undermine foundations, rot timber framing and encourage mould growth long before the damage becomes obvious.

Older copper hot water lines are particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting over time, while poly and PEX pipes can develop slow leaks at fittings and joins. If your water meter keeps spinning after you have switched off every tap, or you have found a wet patch on the lawn that never seems to dry out, there is a good chance a pipe somewhere on your property is leaking. Getting it checked early with proper leak detection can mean the difference between a straightforward patch repair and a costly excavation.

    Our Solution

    How Tennyson Plumbing & Drains Finds Leaks in Tennyson Without the Guesswork

    Tennyson Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven, non-invasive techniques to find the exact source of a leak before any repair work begins, so you are never paying to dig up the wrong section of pipe.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping underground
    • Thermal camera leak location to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Tracer gas and other non-invasive testing on plastic or noisy pipework when acoustic methods are inconclusive
    • Isolation and pressure testing to confirm whether a leak sits on the mains line, in the house or at a fixture
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, suitable for insurance and restoration claims

    Once we have pinpointed the leak, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that means a patch repair, a section of copper replacement or trenchless pipe relining under the slab.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection FAQs

      Leak detection can raise a lot of questions, especially when there is no obvious sign of water escaping. Below, our experienced plumbers answer some of the questions we hear most often from Tennyson homeowners and business owners.

      We rely on non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening equipment, ground microphones and thermal imaging to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any digging or demolition takes place. This means we can mark the precise spot where a pipe needs to be opened, rather than excavating large sections of your yard or driveway on the chance of finding the problem. In many cases, especially with slab leaks, this approach saves both mess and unnecessary cost.
      A hidden leak often shows up as an unusually high water bill, a water meter that keeps spinning even when every tap is off, a warm or damp patch on the floor, a musty smell in a room, or unexplained dampness on walls or ceilings. Outside, you might notice a soggy patch of lawn that never seems to dry, or a section of driveway that stays wet longer than the rest. If any of these sound familiar, it is worth having a plumber investigate before the issue causes further damage.
      Yes, slab leaks are one of the more common jobs we handle. Using a combination of acoustic detection, thermal imaging and pressure testing, we can trace hot and cold water lines running under a slab and identify where a leak is occurring, often without needing to break through large areas of concrete. Once located, we discuss the most sensible repair option with you, whether that is a targeted patch, a section of pipe relining or rerouting the line.
      We can provide a written leak detection report that outlines where the leak was found, how it was located and includes photos marking the exact position. Many insurers and restoration companies ask for this kind of documentation before approving a claim, so we make sure the report is clear and detailed enough to support your case.
      The most reliable way is to have a plumber carry out an isolation test, where all fixtures are turned off and the water meter is watched to see whether it continues to move. If the meter keeps ticking over with everything off, water is escaping somewhere on your property, whether that is an underground main, a toilet cistern that will not stop filling, or an irrigation line. From there, we use leak detection equipment to narrow down exactly where the water is going.
      A water leak involves treated water escaping from your mains supply or internal pipework, which will usually increase your water bill and can eventually cause structural damage. A sewer leak involves wastewater escaping from drainage pipes, often producing an unpleasant smell and posing a health risk, while a stormwater leak relates to rainwater drainage systems rather than your plumbing at all. Since each of these requires a different approach, it helps to have a plumber correctly diagnose which type of leak you are dealing with before any repair work begins.
