Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Caloundra Plumbing & Drains has helped home and business owners across Caloundra track down hidden water leaks before they turn into serious damage. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's under a concrete slab, behind a shower wall, or somewhere along the main between the meter and the house. We've refined this process over thousands of jobs across the Sunshine Coast, so we know the difference between a genuine plumbing leak and stormwater or sewer seepage that needs a different fix altogether. When you call us, you get a team that understands the pipe materials, soil conditions and building styles found throughout Caloundra and its surrounding suburbs.
Know your cost upfront before we start, with no hidden charges once the job begins.
We treat your property with respect and leave every job site as clean as we found it.
Every repair we carry out is backed by a lifetime guarantee on our workmanship.
Our team brings two decades of hands-on leak detection experience to every Caloundra home.
Whether it's a mysteriously high water bill, a damp patch appearing on the lawn, or a suspicious sound behind the wall, Caloundra Plumbing & Drains is ready to help. Our Caloundra-based plumbers arrive equipped with acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing gear, so we can locate the leak without unnecessary digging or demolition. We work on homes, units, strata properties and commercial buildings throughout Sunshine Coast, applying the same careful, methodical approach on every job we take on.
If you suspect a hidden leak, don't wait for it to get worse. Water escaping under a slab or inside a wall cavity can undermine flooring, damage joinery and push your water bill higher with every passing day it's left untouched. Get in touch with our team and we'll arrange a time to send a plumber to your property, explain what we find in plain language, and give you a fixed price before any repair work begins.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself with a dramatic burst pipe. More often, it shows up as a water bill that's crept up for no obvious reason, a damp or musty smell in a particular room, or a patch of lawn that stays soggy no matter the weather. Ceilings that stain, tiles that lift, or a hot water system that seems to run constantly can all point to a leak working away out of sight.
Left alone, these leaks rarely stay small. Water escaping under a slab can erode the base beneath your flooring, timber floors can warp and swell, and mould can take hold in wall cavities long before there's a visible sign anywhere else. Copper pipes in older Caloundra homes are particularly prone to pinhole leaks from pitting, while poly and PEX lines can develop slow leaks at joints that are easy to overlook.
The tricky part is telling a genuine plumbing leak apart from stormwater pooling after rain or sewer seepage from a cracked drain. Getting this wrong means paying for the wrong repair. That's where a proper leak detection inspection earns its keep, giving you a clear answer instead of a guess.
Caloundra Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical, non-invasive approach to leak detection, so we find the problem before we open up a single tile or floorboard. We start by narrowing down the likely area using isolation tests and meter readings, then bring in specialist equipment to confirm the exact location.
Once we've marked the exact spot, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a straightforward patch repair, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless pipe relining for a lasting fix under the slab.
Leak detection often uncovers other issues hiding beneath the surface, from ageing pipework to blocked drains contributing to the problem. Our Caloundra plumbers offer a full range of services to fix what we find, so you're never left chasing down a second tradesperson.
We keep our leak detection process straightforward, so you know exactly what's happening at each stage and why. From the first phone call through to the final report, our Caloundra team explains what we find in plain language and provides a fixed price before any repair begins. This structured approach is part of the reason so many Sunshine Coast homeowners and strata managers call us back for future work.
We start with meter readings and isolation tests to narrow down where the leak is likely hiding.
