Clifton Hill Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating hidden water leaks before they turn into expensive repairs. Whether you've noticed a spike on your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn, or a musty smell in a room that won't go away, our team has the tools and training to find the source without unnecessary digging or demolition. We service homes and businesses throughout Clifton Hill and greater Brisbane, offering flexible appointments for urgent leaks and routine checks alike.
If you suspect a leak but can't see where it's coming from, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Give us a call and one of our licensed plumbers will talk you through what to expect, arrange a convenient time to attend, and get to work finding the leak with acoustic and thermal detection equipment. We'll always explain our findings in plain language and provide a clear plan before any repair work begins.
Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we're called out to in Clifton Hill are hidden under slabs, inside cavity walls or beneath timber flooring, only revealing themselves through a higher than usual water bill or a damp, musty patch that never seems to dry out. Left alone, these leaks can undermine foundations, rot timber framing and encourage mould growth long before anyone notices the drip itself.
Older copper hot water lines are particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting over time, while poly and PEX pipes can fail at joins or fittings hidden behind plaster. A spinning water meter when everything inside is switched off, warm patches on tiled floors, or unexplained soggy patches in the yard are all signs worth investigating sooner rather than later. Our job is to work out exactly what's happening before it becomes a bigger, more expensive problem.
Rather than guessing where a leak might be, Clifton Hill Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven detection methods to narrow down the exact location before any pipework is disturbed. Our approach includes:
Once we've marked the leak, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a patch repair, section replacement, relining or a broader repipe, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
