Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor 20 years, Benowa Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Benowa track down hidden water leaks before they cause serious damage. Our licensed technicians use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and tracer gas methods to pinpoint leaks under slabs, behind walls and along underground mains, without unnecessary digging or demolition. We're familiar with the older copper pipework common in many established Benowa homes, as well as the newer poly and PEX systems found in properties closer to Benowa Waters and Ashmore. That local knowledge, paired with genuine field experience, helps us find the source of a leak quickly and repair it properly the first time.
Every technician holds the qualifications and insurance required to work safely on your property.
We locate leaks with minimal disruption, protecting your flooring, gardens and driveways.
You'll know the cost before we start, with no hidden fees added later.
Every repair we complete following a leak detection is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Benowa Plumbing & Drains provides dedicated leak detection services to homes and businesses throughout Benowa and the wider Gold Coast. Using acoustic correlators, ground microphones and thermal cameras, we locate leaking pipes hidden under concrete slabs, inside cavity walls and along the run between your water meter, or toby, and your house. A spinning water meter, an unexplained rise in your water bill, or a damp patch appearing on your lawn near Benowa Gardens can all point to a leak that isn't visible from the surface.
If you've noticed warm patches on the floor, the sound of running water when every tap is switched off, or a musty smell developing in a room for no obvious reason, it's worth having a professional take a look sooner rather than later. A hidden leak left untreated can undermine slabs, damage timber flooring and inflate your water bill month after month. Pick up the phone and speak with our local Benowa team today, and we'll arrange a technician to locate and repair the problem with as little disruption to your property as possible.
Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the kitchen floor. Many of the leaks we find in Benowa properties sit under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity, or along a buried section of copper or poly pipe, quietly wasting water for weeks before anyone notices. Whether you own a family home, run a business, or manage a strata property in Benowa, a higher than usual water bill, a meter box dial that keeps ticking over when every tap and appliance is off, or a soggy patch of lawn that never seems to dry out are all worth investigating.
Left unchecked, an undetected leak can lead to far more than an inflated water bill. Pitted copper pipework in older hot water systems can develop pinhole leaks that slowly soak timber framing, while a leaking shower waterproofing membrane can wick moisture into plasterboard and encourage mould growth. Leaking risers, shower mixers and cavity pipes are also common culprits, wetting plaster and joinery long before any visible staining appears. Slab leaks are particularly troublesome, as they can undermine foundations and cause flooring to lift or discolour well before the damage shows from inside the home.
If you're dealing with an insurance claim, a pre-purchase inspection concern, or simply a water bill that doesn't add up, getting a professional leak detection carried out early can save considerable expense and stress down the track.
