Leak Detection

Find the leak. Stop the damage. Across the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

Hidden Water Leaks, Found Properly

A leak you cannot see is still doing damage. A water bill that has crept up, a damp patch that will not dry, the sound of running water when every tap is off, or a slab that feels warm underfoot — these rarely fix themselves, and they rarely stay small.

Genies Plumbing finds the leak before anyone starts cutting. We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact spot, so the repair stays targeted instead of turning into a rebuild.

Common signs you have a hidden leak

Water bill higher than usual with no change in how you use water
The water meter keeps ticking over when everything is turned off
Damp patches, bubbling paint or lifting tiles
A musty smell in a room that never quite clears
Warm spots on a slab floor, or a drop in hot water pressure
Cracks appearing in paths, driveways or garden beds staying wet

What we find, and where

Slab and under-concrete leaks
Burst and weeping pipes inside walls and ceilings
Leaking toilets, taps, and hot water systems
Pool and irrigation line leaks
Underground mains between the meter and the house
Unexplained high water bill investigations

FAQs

How much does leak detection cost?

It depends on the property and how buried the leak is. A straightforward locate is far cheaper than the damage a slow leak does over months. We quote upfront, charge no call out fee, and give you $20 off your first booking so you know where you stand before we start.

Will you have to dig up my floor to find the leak?

Not to find it. We locate the leak first using acoustic equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing, so any excavation is targeted at one spot rather than exploratory. That is the whole point of detection before repair.

How do I know if I actually have a leak?

Turn off every tap and appliance that uses water, then check your water meter. If it is still moving, water is going somewhere it should not. A sudden jump in your bill, damp patches, or a musty smell are the other common giveaways.

Which areas do you cover for leak detection?

Two regions. Across the Gold Coast from Coomera and Hope Island down to Robina and Burleigh, and across Brisbane from our Wishart base. See the Gold Coast and Brisbane pages above for full suburb coverage.

Can you repair the leak once you find it?

Yes. We are licensed plumbers, not a detection-only service. Once the leak is located we quote the repair and carry it out, including pipe repairs, relining where it suits, and reinstatement.
