Leak Detection

Suspect You Have A Water Leak In Your Brisbane Home?

Many Brisbane homeowners don’t realise that there is a water leak in their home until they see that their water bill has skyrocketed or they find a damp patch in their walls that won’t go away. Ignoring the signs of a water leak has serious consequences and can cause serious damage to the structural integrity of your home and foundations.

At Purity Plumbing, we take the guesswork out of leak detection. Using state-of-the-art tools and technology, our qualified plumbers can accurately pinpoint the exact location of your water leak without unnecessarily damaging your home.

Our No-Dig, Non Invasive Approach To Leak Detection

Our plumbers know that when you hear the words “leak detection”, your mind goes straight to digging up all the pipes in your property. Don’t worry, while this may have been the case decades ago, technology has evolved.

Our plumbers use the latest tools and technology, such as acoustic sonic imaging and thermal heat mapping, to see through your walls and floors and locate the source of the leak fast. This also allows us to only cut or dig where exactly the leak is, like in your walls, floors or under the foundations of your home.

Our Leak Detection Process

On-Site Assessment

Our specialised plumbing technicians begin with a thorough diagnostic check. We check your water meter and perform a series of pressure tests on your hot and cold water lines. This allows us to estimate which part of the house the leak is in and which parts of your plumbing system are in danger.

Precise Leak Detection, Repairs and Resolution

Whether it’s a shower leak, a hairline crack in your stormwater pipe or your home’s copper pipes have burst, we always provide an accurate quote to repair any damage and get your pipes flowing properly again.

Testing and Reporting

After the water leak has been located and successfully patched, our leak detection specialist will go in to test whether it needs any additional work. We inspect the pipe for any hairline cracks and ensure water flows smoothly again.

Signs You Have A Hidden Water Leak In Your Home

Water leaks can go unnoticed for days or months, putting your property at risk of flooding and serious structural damage. If you notice any of the following, give our leak detection specialists a call on 0432 074 459 or complete our online enquiry form today.

• An unexplained spike in your water bills, without your usage habits changing
• Water stains, mould or mildew on your walls and ceiling
• Peeling, bubbling and discoloured paint or wallpaper
• Reduced water pressure
• Puddles and wet patches in your garden or backyard
• The sound of running water when your fixtures are turned off
• Low water pressure

Can Ground Movement Cause My Pipes To Leak and Burst?

Brisbane gardens are made up of clay soil. This means the ground underneath your house expands and contracts. This movement puts pressure on your pipes, often causing them to crack over time.

What Are The Benefits of Water Leak Detection?

Big Savings

One of the most immediate benefits of water leak detection is financial. A tiny, hairline crack in your pipes wastes hundreds of litres a day.

Protecting Your Home’s Foundations

When there is a hidden leak under your concrete slab or in your garden, the surrounding soil expands unevenly, leading to sagging floors, cracked foundations and potential water damage. Catching water leaks early prevents the ground from shifting, saving you hundreds of thousands of dollars in structural repairs.

Preventing Mould and Mildew

Moisture trapped behind your bathroom wall or under your kitchen cabinets becomes the perfect breeding ground for mould and mildew. By pinpointing the source of the leak, you prevent mould from spreading and keep your indoor air quality safe.

Peace of Mind

Our professional leak detection services provide you with a safety compliance report. This document gives you the peace of mind that the leak has been repaired properly and makes it easier for insurance claims and council rebates to be successful.
