Our technicians use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint slab leaks, in-wall leaks and underground main leaks without unnecessary digging or demolition.

Our team brings two decades of hands-on plumbing and leak detection experience to every visit.
Fitzgibbon Plumbing & Drains provides professional water leak detection across Fitzgibbon and the wider Brisbane region, using acoustic sensors, thermal cameras and pressure testing to locate leaks other plumbers might miss. From pinhole leaks in ageing copper hot water pipes to slab leaks hiding beneath the concrete floor, we find the exact source before any repair work begins, saving you from guesswork and unnecessary excavation. Our upfront fixed pricing means you'll know the cost before we start, with no hidden surprises once the job is complete.
If your water meter keeps spinning even with every tap switched off, or you've noticed a spike in your water bill without an obvious cause, it's worth arranging a proper inspection sooner rather than later. Left unchecked, a hidden leak in Fitzgibbon can undermine foundations, damage flooring and encourage mould growth throughout your home. Give our team a call and we'll arrange a technician to assess the situation and get to the bottom of it.
Many water leaks develop out of sight, whether under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or along the underground pipe running from your meter to the house. Homeowners in Fitzgibbon often only notice something is wrong once the water bill arrives unusually high, or a patch of lawn stays soggy despite dry weather. By the time these signs appear, the leak may already have been running for some time.
Other clues include a warm patch on tiled flooring caused by a leaking hot water pipe, a musty smell lingering in a particular room, or peeling paint and bubbling plaster where moisture is tracking through a wall. Sometimes the culprit isn't a water leak at all, and stormwater or sewer seepage is to blame, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters before any digging or wall removal begins.
Ignoring these signs rarely makes them disappear. Left untreated, a slow leak can weaken timber flooring, corrode copper pipework and lead to far costlier repairs down the track, so it pays to have a qualified plumber investigate as soon as something seems off.
Rather than relying on guesswork, Fitzgibbon Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven leak detection techniques to locate the exact source of a problem before any repair work starts. Our approach is methodical and non-invasive wherever possible, meaning less disruption to your home or business.
Once we've confirmed the exact location, we'll talk you through the options, whether that's a targeted patch repair, a section of pipe replacement or a broader repipe, so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.
Leak detection often uncovers other issues below the surface, so Fitzgibbon Plumbing & Drains also offers a full range of drainage and plumbing services to fix the problem at its source.
