Two Decades of Accurate Leak Detection in Banoon

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.

Suspect a Leak?

Call Banoon Plumbing & Drains for Fast, Accurate Leak Detection

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.

Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak

What's Really Happening Behind Your Walls and Floors?

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.

    How Banoon Plumbing & Drains Solves Leak Problems in Banoon

    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.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators on mains, copper and poly pipework
    • Thermal camera scanning to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Isolation and pressure testing to confirm whether the meter, the main or an internal fixture is the culprit
    • Tracer gas methods for plastic pipework or sites where acoustic testing alone isn't conclusive
    • Written leak detection reports with photos, ideal for insurance claims and restoration companies

    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.

      Other Ways We Can Help After a Leak Is Found

      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.

      CCTV Drain Inspection

      CCTV Drain Inspection

      A camera inspection lets us see inside your pipes to confirm the condition of the line once a leak has been located.

      Pipe Relining

      Pipe Relining

      Trenchless pipe relining repairs a damaged or leaking pipe from the inside, avoiding the need to dig up your yard or driveway.

      Sewer Line Repairs

      Sewer Line Repairs

      If we determine your issue is a sewer leak rather than a water leak, our team can repair or reline the affected section.

      Emergency Pipe Repairs

      Emergency Pipe Repairs

      For burst pipes or leaks that can't wait, we offer prompt repairs to stop the damage and get your water supply back on track.

      Our Process

      A Straightforward Approach to Locating Your Leak

      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.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Leak detection can seem like a mystery until you understand what's involved, so we've answered some of the questions Banoon customers ask us most often. If you don't see your question here, give our team a call and we'll talk you through it.

      Some of the clearest warning signs include a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap and appliance is switched off, a water bill that's noticeably higher than usual without an obvious explanation, damp or soft patches on flooring, walls or the lawn, and a musty smell in a room that shouldn't be affected by moisture. If you notice any of these, it's worth having a licensed plumber investigate before the issue causes further damage.
      We rely on a mix of non-invasive techniques, including acoustic leak detection with ground microphones and correlators, thermal imaging to trace hot and cold water trails through walls and slabs, and pressure or isolation testing to narrow down which section of pipework is affected. These methods let us confirm the leak's location with confidence before any excavation or demolition takes place.
      In most cases, no. Our goal is to mark the leak as precisely as possible using listening and imaging equipment first, so that when we do need to open anything up, it's a small, targeted section rather than a large area of flooring or wall. This keeps the repair simpler and less disruptive to your home or business.
      Yes, slab leaks are more common than most people realise, particularly in older homes with ageing copper or poly pipework running beneath the floor. These leaks often show up as an unusually warm patch on the floor, a musty smell in a room, or a water bill that climbs for no clear reason. Specialised acoustic and thermal equipment allows us to locate these leaks accurately without random jackhammering.
      Yes, we can provide a written leak detection report that outlines where the leak was found, how it was located and what repair was carried out, along with supporting photos. This documentation is often exactly what insurers and restoration companies need to assess and progress a claim.
      Water leaks, sewer leaks and stormwater issues can look similar on the surface but come from very different sources. Part of our job is testing and tracing to work out whether water is escaping from a pressurised supply line, seeping from a sewer pipe, or simply pooling due to stormwater and drainage issues. Getting this right means the correct repair is carried out the first time, rather than opening up the wrong section of pipe.
