Coolangatta Plumbing & Drains provides professional plumbing leak detection across Coolangatta and the surrounding southern Gold Coast, using non-invasive equipment to find hidden leaks without unnecessary digging or demolition. From acoustic leak detection and thermal camera scans to pressure testing, our team has the tools to locate leaks in walls, under slabs, beneath driveways and along underground mains. We work on homes, units and commercial properties alike, and every job comes with upfront fixed pricing so there are no surprises once we start.
If your water bill has jumped without explanation, your water meter keeps ticking with everything switched off, or you've noticed a damp patch on the ceiling or a soggy corner of the yard, it's worth getting it checked sooner rather than later. Coolangatta's mix of older homes, beachfront units and newer builds means leaks can show up in all sorts of places, from ageing copper pipework to salt-affected fittings near the coast. Give our team a call and we'll arrange a technician to locate the source of the problem and explain exactly what needs fixing.
A leaking pipe rarely announces itself outright. More often it shows up as an unusually high water bill, a patch of lawn or driveway that stays wet no matter the weather, or a musty smell in a room that never used to have one. In strata-titled units along the beachfront, a leak on one level can show up as a stained ceiling in the unit below, making it tricky to pinpoint without the right equipment.
Left unchecked, a hidden leak can undermine timber flooring, cause mould in wall cavities, and even affect the stability of a concrete slab. Older Coolangatta properties with ageing copper pipework are particularly prone to pinhole leaks, while beachfront units can suffer from corroded fittings due to the salty air. Whatever the cause, catching it early with proper leak detection saves you from a much larger repair bill and protects the value of your property.
Rather than breaking open walls or digging up the yard on a hunch, Coolangatta Plumbing & Drains uses purpose-built leak detection equipment to find the exact source of the problem first. This means less mess, a faster fix and no unnecessary damage to your property.
Once the leak is found and marked, we can carry out the repair ourselves, whether that's a section of copper pipe, a valve replacement or a relined section of pipe under the slab. Every Coolangatta Plumbing & Drains technician working in Coolangatta is trained to explain what's happening and what it will cost before any work begins.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing work, particularly when a leak has been running for some time. Here are a few related services we offer across Coolangatta and the wider Gold Coast.
