A hidden water leak rarely stays hidden for long. Whether it's a spike on your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell creeping through the house, Alberton Plumbing & Drains has the training and technology to find the source quickly. We service homes and businesses throughout Alberton and the surrounding Gold Coast area, using acoustic detection, thermal imaging and pressure testing to locate leaks in walls, under slabs and along underground mains. Our fixed upfront pricing means you'll know the cost before we start, with no surprise call-out fees or hidden extras.
If you've noticed your water meter still turning when every tap is off, or a previous plumber suggested the leak is somewhere under the slab, give us a call before anyone reaches for a jackhammer. Our non-invasive leak detection equipment lets us mark the exact leak location, so any repair work is targeted and minimal. Local Alberton residents trust us because we explain what we find in plain language and can provide a written report where one's needed for insurance.

Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we find in Alberton homes are quiet, slow drips inside a wall cavity, beneath a concrete slab or along the run from the water meter to the house. Left alone, these hidden leaks can undermine foundations, rot timber framing and send your water bill climbing for months before anyone notices.
Older homes with galvanised or copper pipework are particularly prone to pinhole leaks, where corrosion slowly eats through the pipe wall until water starts weeping into the surrounding structure. Poly and PEX pipes aren't immune either, especially where they've been nicked during landscaping or renovation work. A ceiling stain that keeps returning, a warm patch across the floor tiles, or a toilet that seems to run constantly can all point to a leak that needs a proper inspection rather than guesswork.
The real cost of ignoring a suspected leak reaches well beyond the wasted water. It's the mould, the weakened structural framing and the far larger repair bill that comes from a small problem left to grow. Catching it early with proper leak detection is almost always cheaper and less disruptive than fixing the damage later.
Rather than relying on trial and error, Alberton Plumbing & Drains combines proven technology with plumbing know-how to locate leaks accurately before any repair work begins. This means less mess, less disruption and a repair that actually solves the problem.
Once we've marked the exact leak location, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless pipe relining for a leak sitting deep under the slab. Every Alberton job comes with fixed upfront pricing, so you know exactly what you're paying before any work starts.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues that need attention, so our Alberton team also handles the repair work that follows a leak locate, along with broader drainage and plumbing services.
Finding a hidden leak takes more than guesswork, it takes the right equipment used in the right order. Our process is designed to narrow down a leak's location with as little disruption as possible, so we're not pulling up floors or walls unless we're confident that's where the problem sits. Every step is explained along the way, so you understand what we're doing and why.
We ask about your water bill, any damp patches or unusual sounds, and check your meter to understand the pattern of water loss.
Using listening equipment and thermal cameras, we trace the leak's path through walls, slabs or underground pipework.
Once the leak is pinpointed, we mark the exact spot and talk through repair options, providing a written report if needed.
