Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint leaks under slabs, behind walls and along underground mains, without unnecessary digging. Whether you've noticed a spinning water meter, a soggy patch on the lawn or an unexplained spike in your water bill, our local team has the experience to find the source quickly and accurately. We understand the mix of industrial, commercial and residential properties across the Swanbank area, and we tailor our leak detection approach to suit each site.
Every leak detection job is carried out by fully licensed, insured plumbing professionals you can trust.
We've built our reputation across Ipswich on honest advice and accurate leak location.
You'll know the cost of your leak detection before we start, with no hidden surprises.
Our team treats your property with respect, leaving it as clean as we found it.
Swanbank Plumbing & Drains provides professional water leak detection across Swanbank and the wider Ipswich region, using non-invasive technology to locate hidden leaks in walls, slabs, ceilings and underground pipework. From pitted copper pinholes in ageing hot water systems to a mains leak between the meter and the house, our plumbers are equipped to find the exact source without guesswork or unnecessary demolition. We back every job with upfront fixed pricing, a lifetime workmanship guarantee and our Tidy Tradie promise, so you always know what to expect.
If you've spotted a damp patch on the driveway, heard water running when every tap is off, or received a water bill that doesn't add up, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Left undetected, even a small leak can undermine slabs, rot timber framing and inflate your water usage month after month. Give our Swanbank team a call and we'll arrange a time to track down the leak and get it fixed properly.
Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we locate in Swanbank properties stay hidden under concrete slabs, inside wall cavities or beneath the yard for weeks before anyone notices. By then, a small pinhole in a copper pipe or a cracked poly fitting can have already caused warped flooring, mould growth or a water bill that's climbed well beyond normal usage.
Some of the more common warning signs include a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap and appliance is switched off, unusually warm patches on tiled or timber floors, musty smells in a particular room, or a section of lawn that stays soggy no matter the weather. Ceiling stains and peeling paint can also point to a leak upstairs rather than a roof problem, while a leaking stop cock or isolation valve under the sink might be the simple culprit behind a high bill.
Trying to locate these leaks yourself usually means unnecessary digging or opening up walls in the wrong spot. Our acoustic and thermal detection methods let us confirm exactly where the water is escaping first, so any repair work is targeted and minimises disruption to your Swanbank property.
Swanbank Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to every leak detection job in Swanbank, starting with a full assessment of your water meter, plumbing layout and any symptoms you've noticed. Rather than opening up walls or slabs on guesswork, we use proven non-invasive techniques to narrow down the exact location before any repair work begins.
Once we've confirmed the source, we'll talk you through the most practical fix, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless pipe relining under the slab. Every Swanbank job comes with our fixed-price quote and lifetime workmanship guarantee, so you know exactly what you're paying for before we start.
