A hidden pipe leak can waste thousands of litres before you see a single drop. By the time a stain appears on the ceiling or the water bill spikes, the damage has often been building for months. Our leak detection Burleigh Waters service uses specialist equipment to find the exact source quickly, so we only open up what we need to.
The difference with us is that the same licensed plumber who finds the leak can usually fix it in the same visit. No waiting for a separate detection company’s report, then booking a plumber, then paying twice. You get a fixed quote before we start, no call-out fee, and a clear explanation of what we found.
Plumbing Bros has grown from three Perth plumbers in 2017 into a national team of more than 100, with a local crew based in Robina. For other jobs, our plumber Burleigh Waters page covers the full range.
Much of the suburb was built on drained swampland with sandy, reclaimed soil. Sand drains water away quickly, so an underground or under-slab leak can run for months without ever pooling on the surface. Combine that with homes now 40 or more years old, slab-on-ground construction and plenty of backyard pools, and you have the perfect recipe for leaks that only show up on the water bill.
Our leak detection Burleigh Waters service covers:
Non-invasive leak detection means finding the problem without tearing your home apart. We combine several methods to locate leaks accurately, and every leak detection Burleigh Waters job starts with the least invasive option.
Thermal imaging leak detection shows temperature differences behind walls and under floors. Escaping hot water shows up warm, while wet areas often show up cool.
Pressurised water escaping a pipe makes a distinct sound. Acoustic leak detection equipment amplifies it through concrete, tiles and soil so we can pinpoint the spot.
A safe, harmless gas mix is introduced into the drained line. It escapes at the leak point and is picked up by a sensitive detector at the surface, ideal for underground and slab leaks.
We isolate sections of pipe to test which one is losing pressure, and use moisture meters to map how far water has spread.
Here is what a common job looks like. A homeowner notices the water bill has nearly doubled and the meter keeps ticking over with every tap off. We run a water meter leak test to confirm, isolate the hot and cold lines to find which is losing pressure, then use acoustic and thermal tools to pinpoint the leak under a single tile in the hallway. Instead of digging up the whole floor, we open a small section, repair the pipe, pressure test the system and restore the area. Before, the house had an invisible leak and a worried owner. After, there is a fixed pipe, a normal bill and a written summary for the records.
Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, note the meter reading, wait 30 minutes without using water, then check again. If the number has moved, call us.
Detection-only companies can tell you where the leak is, but you still need a plumber to repair it. With us, detection and repair happen together. If you need to apply to City of Gold Coast for a concealed leak concession, our written report gives you the documentation to support it. That is what makes our leak detection Burleigh Waters service faster and better value.
We confirm all water-using appliances are off so the readings are accurate.
We review your symptoms, check the meter and look at the plumbing layout.
We use the right combination of thermal, acoustic, tracer gas and pressure testing.

You receive a clear summary of the cause, location and repair.
