Non-Invasive Techniques
We locate leaks using ground microphones and correlators, protecting your floors, walls and gardens from unnecessary excavation.
For over 20 years, Banoon Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Banoon and greater Brisbane track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak without unnecessary digging or demolition. We've located everything from pitted copper pinholes in ageing hot water systems to under-slab leaks hiding beneath concrete floors and timber flooring. That depth of hands-on experience means we get it right the first time, saving you money on water bills and avoiding unnecessary damage to your property.

Banoon home and business owners rely on our licensed team for honest, accurate leak location every time.
You'll know the cost before we start, with no hidden surprises once the job is complete.
Two decades of plumbing expertise means we've seen almost every type of leak Brisbane properties can throw at us.
A rising water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell in a wall cavity is rarely something to ignore. At Banoon Plumbing & Drains, we specialise in water leak detection across Banoon and the wider Brisbane region, using acoustic sensors, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find the source of a leak without guesswork. Whether it's a slab leak under your kitchen floor, a pinhole in an old copper hot water line, or an underground main between the meter and your house, our team has the tools and training to locate it accurately.
If you've noticed an unexplained spike in your water usage, a hot spot on the floor, or water pooling somewhere it shouldn't, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our Banoon team a call and we'll get a licensed leak detection plumber out to assess the situation, explain what we find in plain language, and outline a fixed-price solution before any work begins.
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves clearly. A quietly spinning water meter, a patch of lawn that stays green and soggy long after rain, or a ceiling stain that keeps returning after painting are all signs that water is escaping somewhere it shouldn't be. Left undetected, these leaks can rot timber framing, crack tiles, encourage mould growth and inflate your water bill month after month.
Older copper hot water pipes are particularly prone to pinhole corrosion, while poly and PEX lines under a slab can shift or fail with age. Stormwater and sewer issues can also mimic a water leak, which is why it's important to have a plumber who can tell the difference between a plumbing leak, a drainage problem and simple groundwater. Getting this diagnosis wrong means the wrong trade gets called, or worse, the wrong section of floor gets opened up.
If you're dealing with an unexplained water bill, a damp wall, or a wet patch in the yard that won't dry out, it's worth having it properly investigated before the damage spreads further into your home or business.
Banoon Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to leak detection, combining modern technology with two decades of plumbing know-how so we can locate a leak accurately and repair it properly the first time. Rather than guessing where a leak might be, we test, listen and measure until we're confident of the exact location, then explain our findings to you in plain terms.
Once we've marked the leak, we can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a patch repair, a section of pipe relining, or a full copper replacement, so you're not left waiting on a second visit.
Finding the leak is only half the job. Depending on what we uncover, you may also need drain clearing, pipe relining or a broader plumbing repair to get everything working properly again. Here are a few related services our Banoon plumbers regularly carry out alongside leak detection.
Leak detection works best when it follows a clear, repeatable process rather than trial and error. Our Banoon plumbers move through each stage methodically, so you understand what we're doing and why at every step. This structured approach is part of why we've maintained a strong track record across Brisbane for two decades.
We start by discussing your water bill, symptoms and property history to narrow down likely leak locations.
Using acoustic, thermal and pressure testing methods, we pinpoint the leak and mark it precisely for repair.
We carry out the necessary repair and provide a clear report, useful for your records or an insurance claim.
