Wellers Hill Plumbing & Drains offers professional leak detection across Wellers Hill and the wider Brisbane region, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras, and non-invasive tracer gas to find leaking pipes hidden under slabs, in walls, and beneath your yard.

If you're dealing with a suspected water leak, don't wait for it to worsen. A small pinhole in a copper pipe or a hairline crack under a slab can quickly turn into a major repair bill and lead to mould, structural damage, or wasted water. Call Wellers Hill Plumbing & Drains today for an upfront, fixed-price quote and let our experienced plumbers find the leak fast, so it can be repaired properly the first time.
A hidden water leak rarely announces itself. Many Wellers Hill homeowners only discover a problem once their water bill jumps unexpectedly, a patch of lawn stays soggy long after the rain has passed, or a musty smell develops in a room with no obvious cause. Others notice the water meter still ticking over even when every tap and appliance in the house is switched off, a clear sign of a leak somewhere between the meter and the home.
Left unchecked, a slab leak or in-wall pipe leak can undermine flooring, soften timber framing, and encourage mould growth long before any visible damage appears. Older copper pipework is particularly prone to pinhole leaks from internal pitting, while poly and PEX lines can fail at joints and fittings. Whatever the cause, the longer a leak runs, the more expensive and disruptive the eventual repair tends to become.
If any of this sounds familiar, it's worth having a qualified plumber investigate before the damage spreads further. Our team can quickly determine whether you're dealing with a plumbing leak, a stormwater issue, or something entirely unrelated to your water supply.
Wellers Hill Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical, technology-led approach to leak detection, so we can pinpoint the exact source of a leak before any pipework is opened up or concrete is broken. Rather than guessing, we rely on proven equipment and years of hands-on experience to confirm exactly where a leak sits.

We understand that a suspected water leak can be stressful, especially when you're not sure what's causing it. Below are some of the questions Wellers Hill homeowners ask us most often about leak detection, answered by our experienced team.
The most common signs include an unusually high water bill without a change in usage, a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap and appliance is switched off, damp or soft patches in the yard, and musty smells or discoloured patches on walls and ceilings. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth having a licensed plumber investigate before the problem grows.
Yes. We use acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to trace the sound and temperature signature of water escaping beneath a slab. This allows us to narrow down the leak's location to a small, specific area, so only that section needs to be opened rather than the whole slab.
In most cases, no. Our leak detection methods are designed to be non-invasive, using sound, thermal imaging, and tracer gas rather than random digging. Once we've confirmed the exact location, only the affected section needs to be accessed for repair.
Copper pipework, particularly in older hot water systems, can develop pinhole leaks caused by internal pitting and corrosion over the years. This is common in homes with ageing hot water loops and often shows up as a small but persistent leak that's difficult to spot without proper equipment.
Yes. We provide written leak detection reports with photos and clear location markings that insurers and restoration companies can use to assess and process a claim. This documentation helps confirm the source of the leak and supports any repair or restoration work that follows.
A plumbing leak involves treated water escaping from your supply pipes, while stormwater and sewer issues relate to drainage systems carrying rainwater or wastewater. The symptoms can look similar, such as wet patches in the yard, so it's important to have a plumber correctly diagnose the source before any repair work begins, to avoid the wrong type of excavation or repair.
A hidden leak won't fix itself, and the longer it runs, the more it can cost you. Wellers Hill Plumbing & Drains is ready to help Wellers Hill homes and businesses find the source and repair it properly.
Our licensed plumbers bring the right equipment and 20 years of experience to every leak detection job. We'll give you a clear, fixed-price quote before any work begins.
