Two Decades of Trusted Leak Detection on the Gold Coast

For 20 years, Currigee Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and businesses across Currigee and the wider Gold Coast track down hidden water leaks before they cause lasting damage. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak without unnecessary digging or demolition. Working around South Stradbroke Island and the surrounding Broadwater suburbs means we understand the plumbing challenges that come with waterfront properties, from pitted copper hot water pipes to underground mains affected by sandy, shifting soils. Whether you're dealing with an unexplained spike in your water bill or a damp patch that won't dry out, our experience means we get to the root of the problem quickly.

Facing a Leak Problem?

Signs Your Property May Have a Hidden Water Leak

Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a flooded floor. Many stay hidden beneath slabs, inside wall cavities or underground for months, quietly pushing up your water bill and weakening the structure around them. If the water meter keeps ticking over even with every tap turned off, or a patch of lawn stays soggy no matter the weather, there's a good chance water is escaping somewhere it shouldn't be.

Older copper hot water lines are especially prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting, while poly and PEX pipes can develop slow leaks at joints and fittings that go unnoticed for a long time. Left alone, these issues can lead to mould, warped flooring, damaged joinery and even structural concerns, particularly in older Gold Coast homes.

Telling the difference between a plumbing leak, a stormwater issue and sewer seepage matters too, since each requires a different approach. Our team is trained to identify the cause quickly, so you're not left waiting on the wrong tradesperson or paying for the wrong job.

    Our Solution

    How Currigee Plumbing & Drains Locates Leaks Across Currigee

    Currigee Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven, non-invasive techniques to find the exact source of a leak before a single tile or brick is touched. Rather than guessing where the problem might be, our plumbers gather evidence using specialised equipment, then confirm the location before recommending any repair.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators on mains, copper and poly lines
    • Thermal imaging cameras to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Tracer gas and correlation methods for plastic pipe or particularly noisy sites
    • Pressure testing from the meter or toby through to the house to confirm main line leaks
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations for insurers and restoration teams

    Once the leak is marked, we can often carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a section of copper replacement, a patch repair or trenchless pipe restoration under the slab. Home and business owners throughout Currigee trust Currigee Plumbing & Drains because we explain exactly what we've found and what it will take to fix it, with fixed pricing agreed upfront before any work begins.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Leak detection can feel like a mystery if you've never dealt with a hidden water leak before. Below, our team answers some of the questions we're asked most often by home and business owners across Currigee and the Gold Coast.

      We rely on non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas testing to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any work begins. This means we only open up the section of wall, slab or ground that actually needs attention, rather than searching blindly. In most cases, we can confirm the leak's position without removing tiles, flooring or landscaping.
      An unexplained rise in your water bill is one of the most common signs of a hidden leak, often coming from an underground main, a worn toilet cistern or a fitting inside a wall cavity. We start by checking your water meter and running isolation tests to work out which part of your plumbing is using water it shouldn't be. From there, we narrow down the search using the detection method best suited to that section of pipe.
      Plumbing leaks, stormwater problems and sewer seepage can look similar on the surface but need very different fixes, so it's worth having a professional take a look before assuming the cause. Drinking water leaks tend to show up as clean, ongoing dampness, sewer issues often come with odour, and stormwater problems usually relate to heavy rain. Our team can tell the difference quickly and point you toward the right solution.
      Yes, we can provide a written leak detection report that includes photos and marked locations of the leak, which insurers and restoration companies can use to process a claim. This kind of documentation helps support your case and gives everyone involved a clear picture of what was found and where.
      Pinhole leaks in copper pipework are usually caused by pitting corrosion that develops over time, particularly in older hot water systems or properties with certain water conditions. These small leaks can be tricky to spot early on, since they often start as a slow drip inside a wall or ceiling cavity before becoming noticeable. Once located, we can advise whether a section repair or a broader repipe makes more sense for your situation.
      Yes, once we've located the source of the leak, our plumbers can carry out the repair, whether that's a straightforward patch, a section of pipe replacement or trenchless relining under a slab. Having the same team handle detection and repair means less back and forth and a faster path to getting your plumbing sorted properly.
