You'll know the cost of your leak detection before we start, with no hidden extras added later.
Every leak detection specialist we send is fully licensed, insured and background-checked.
Whether you've noticed a damp patch appearing on the lawn, a water meter that won't stop spinning, or a water bill that's crept up without explanation, Priors Pocket Plumbing & Drains has the tools and training to find the source quickly. We service homes and businesses throughout Priors Pocket, Moggill, Pullenvale, Bellbowrie and the wider Brisbane region, offering acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods depending on what your property needs. Our vans carry everything required to locate leaks in slabs, walls, hot water lines and underground mains without unnecessary guesswork or digging.
If you're dealing with a suspected leak right now, don't wait for the damage to spread through your walls, flooring or foundations. Give our team a call and we'll talk through what you're experiencing, book a time that suits, and arrive ready to locate the problem with minimal disruption to your property. Fast action on a hidden leak often means the difference between a simple repair and a costly renovation.
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves with a burst pipe or flooded floor. More often, they show up as subtle clues: a section of lawn that stays greener and wetter than the rest, a musty smell developing in a particular room, or ceilings and cornices that develop a faint yellow stain. On properties along the river flats and bushland blocks around Priors Pocket, established trees can also place pressure on underground pipes, leading to slow leaks that go unnoticed for months.
Left undetected, a leak under a concrete slab or timber floor can undermine structural timber, encourage mould growth and inflate your water bill without any obvious cause. A pinhole leak in an ageing copper hot water line can behave similarly, causing warm patches on flooring or a hot water system that seems to run out faster than usual. Across Brisbane's western suburbs, galvanised and poly pipe fittings are also common culprits once they begin to corrode or perish with age.
Whatever the cause, chasing a leak without the right equipment usually means unnecessary holes in walls and floors. Our approach is to locate the leak precisely first, so any repair work that follows targets only the affected section.
Priors Pocket Plumbing & Drains combines acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to narrow down a leak's location before any excavation or wall opening takes place. This methodical approach means we can usually confirm where a leak sits, and often what's causing it, within a single visit.
Once we've marked the leak, we can carry out the repair ourselves, whether that's a simple patch, a section of copper replacement, or trenchless pipe relining under the slab. Every repair is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee, so you can be confident the fix will last.
