Fully Licensed Plumbers
Every leak detection technician we send is fully licensed, insured and trained on the latest non-invasive equipment.
For more than twenty years, Redbank Plains Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners throughout Redbank Plains track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our licensed plumbers use acoustic listening devices, thermal leak detection cameras and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's hiding under a concrete slab, behind a tiled shower wall or along the mains line running from your meter. We understand the copper, poly, PEX and older galvanised pipework common throughout Redbank Plains and Ipswich homes, which lets us work efficiently with far less guesswork than a generalist plumber. That local knowledge, paired with genuine hands-on experience, is why so many residents call us first when their water bill spikes or a damp patch appears out of nowhere.

When a tap isn't dripping but your water bill keeps climbing, something underground or behind a wall is usually to blame. Redbank Plains Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating hidden water leaks for residential and commercial properties throughout Redbank Plains and the wider Ipswich area, using acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing rather than guesswork or unnecessary digging. From ageing copper pipes prone to pinhole corrosion to poly and PVC lines running beneath the slab, we've got the tools and experience to find the problem quickly and explain exactly what's going on.
If you've noticed a soggy patch in the yard, a musty smell indoors, or a water meter that keeps spinning even with everything switched off, don't wait for the damage to spread. Give our Redbank Plains team a call and we'll arrange a technician to get out, locate the source of the leak with emergency leak detection if needed, and provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins. Acting early on a suspected leak is almost always cheaper than waiting for it to worsen.
A leak doesn't always announce itself with a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we're called out to in Redbank Plains are concealed, running under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity, or along the underground water leak between the meter and the house, which means they can go unnoticed for months while quietly pushing your water bill higher.
Left untended, a slow slab leak can soften foundations, warp timber flooring and encourage mould growth in wall cavities, while a leaking hot water copper pipe often shows up as a warm patch on the floor or a hot spot on a wall. A failed shower waterproofing membrane or leaking riser can cause similar damage behind the scenes, and in a strata property it's not always obvious which unit is actually responsible.
Not every stain is plumbing related either. Sometimes a ceiling mark is a roof leak rather than a burst pipe, and a dropping pool level might point to the pool itself rather than the water main feeding it, so it's worth having the actual source properly located before assuming the worst or reaching for a jackhammer.
Rather than guessing where a leak might be hiding, Redbank Plains Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical, non-invasive approach to plumbing leak detection that protects your tiles, lawn and driveway from unnecessary damage. We combine several detection methods depending on the pipe material, location and symptoms you're experiencing, covering everything from hot water leak detection to cold water leak detection, so the diagnosis is accurate the first time.
Once we've marked the exact location, we'll talk you through the most sensible fix, whether that's a patch repair, a section of pipe relining, or a full repipe for older, failing copper.
Leak detection often uncovers other issues below ground, so our Redbank Plains team also handles the drainage and pipe work that goes hand in hand with a leaking system. Here's a look at a few related services worth knowing about.
