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.
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.
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.
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.
