Neurum's Trusted Leak Detection Experts

For 20 years, Neurum Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Neurum and the wider Moreton Bay region track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs.

This local knowledge, paired with two decades of hands-on experience, means we solve problems faster and with far less disruption than a general plumber unfamiliar with the area.

Signs of a Hidden Leak

Could You Have an Undetected Water Leak?

A rising water bill with no obvious explanation is often the first clue that something isn't right beneath your Neurum property. Damp patches on carpets, a soft or warm spot on a concrete slab, or the constant sound of running water when every tap is off can all point to a hidden leak working away out of sight. Left unchecked, these leaks can undermine foundations, encourage mould growth and quietly waste thousands of litres of water.

Older homes in and around Neurum are particularly prone to pitted copper pipework, where tiny pinhole leaks develop in ageing hot water lines and slowly seep into walls or under flooring. Slab leaks are another common culprit, often showing up as an unusually warm patch on the floor or a musty smell in a single room, rather than any visible water at all. Because these problems hide behind plaster, under concrete or beneath timber flooring, guesswork and random demolition rarely find the true source, which is exactly why proper leak detection equipment matters.

    Our Solution

    How Neurum Plumbing & Drains Finds and Fixes Leaks in Neurum

    Rather than relying on guesswork, Neurum Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven diagnostic methods to locate leaks precisely the first time. Our approach covers everything from simple tap washers to deep under-slab investigations, giving Neurum property owners confidence that the right fix is applied to the right problem.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water in mains, copper and poly lines
    • Thermal imaging to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs before any cutting takes place
    • Meter-to-house main tracing to confirm whether a spinning water meter points to a leak on your property or the supply line
    • Tracer gas and non-invasive correlator methods for plastic pipe or noisy sites where acoustic testing alone isn't conclusive
    • Written, photo-backed leak detection reports suitable for insurance claims and restoration companies

    Once we've marked the exact leak location, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a section of copper pipe, a relined section under the slab, or a failed fitting, so you're not left waiting on a second appointment.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Leak detection can raise plenty of questions, especially when you can't see the problem yourself. Below, our team answers some of the questions we hear most often from Neurum homeowners and business owners facing a suspected leak.

      We rely on acoustic listening equipment and ground microphones to hear the sound of pressurised water escaping underground, along with thermal imaging to trace temperature changes caused by a leak. These methods let us narrow down the leak's location to a small, precise area before any digging or opening up occurs, so only the section that actually needs attention is disturbed.
      A slab leak often shows up as a warm or damp patch on an otherwise dry floor, a persistent musty smell in one room, or the sound of running water when every fixture in the house is switched off. Some homeowners also notice their water meter continuing to tick over even when nothing is being used, which is a strong indicator that water is escaping somewhere along the line.
      In most cases, yes. Acoustic and thermal detection methods can trace the path of water through wall cavities without any cutting or demolition, allowing us to mark the likely leak point on the outside of the wall. This means any opening up that follows is targeted to a small, specific area rather than guesswork.
      We can provide a written source-of-leak report complete with photos and clearly marked locations, which is designed to support any insurance claim or restoration work that follows. This documentation helps your insurer understand exactly what was found, where it was located and what caused the issue.
      Plumbing leaks, stormwater and sewer issues each behave differently, and our diagnostic process is designed to distinguish between them before any work begins. By combining pressure testing, isolation checks and camera inspection where needed, we can confirm whether the water you're seeing is coming from your drinking water supply, a stormwater drain, or a sewer line, so the right repair is carried out.
      Older homes often have copper hot water pipework that develops small pinhole leaks over time as the metal wears thin, along with ageing fittings, valves and joints that were never designed to last indefinitely. These issues tend to develop slowly, which is why many homeowners only notice a problem once their water bill rises or damage becomes visible.
