Our licensed plumbers rely on acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer gas methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak without unnecessary digging or demolition.

Locals trust us because we explain exactly what we find, quote a fixed price upfront and back every repair with a lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Whether it's a spinning water meter, a damp patch appearing on the lawn or an unexplained jump in your water bill, Runcorn Plumbing & Drains is the local team Runcorn residents call for reliable leak detection. We service homes and businesses throughout Brisbane and the wider Gold Coast and Brisbane region, arriving with acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing gear to trace hidden water leaks in walls, slabs and underground pipes. Our plumbers isolate the problem area, confirm the exact leak location and provide a clear repair plan before any work begins.
If you've noticed a wet patch in the yard, a musty smell in a room that shouldn't be damp, or a meter that keeps ticking over when every tap is off, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Pick up the phone and speak with a Runcorn leak detection specialist who can get to the bottom of it quickly. Call {{phone_number}} today and let our team put an end to the guesswork.
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor. Many of the worst leaks happen under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or along the pipe run between your water meter and the house, quietly wasting water and pushing your bill higher each quarter. A pinhole leak in an ageing copper hot water line can seep for weeks before a stain finally appears on the ceiling below, and by then the damage to timber, plaster and flooring may already be done.
Other warning signs are easier to miss: a patch of lawn that's greener or soggier than the rest of the yard, a driveway that stays damp long after the rain has stopped, or a water meter that keeps spinning even when the house is empty and every tap is closed. Sewer and stormwater leaks bring their own set of issues, and it's not always obvious which type of leak you're dealing with until someone with the right equipment takes a proper look.
Left undetected, a leaking pipe under a slab or inside a wall can lead to structural damage, mould growth and a far larger repair bill down the track. Getting an experienced plumber in early to run an isolation test and locate the source properly is the difference between a straightforward repair and a major renovation.
Runcorn Plumbing & Drains takes the guesswork out of leak detection by combining proven diagnostic technology with hands-on plumbing experience. Rather than opening up walls or breaking concrete on a hunch, our plumbers narrow down the leak location using a methodical process that protects your property and saves you money.
Once the leak is marked, we don't just hand you a report and walk away. Our team can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a section of copper pipe, a relined section under the slab, or a full isolation valve replacement, so Runcorn homeowners get one trusted trade from diagnosis through to fix.
