For two decades, Kiamba Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Kiamba track down hidden water leaks before they cause lasting damage. Our plumbers use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer gas methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, rather than guessing with a jackhammer. We've located everything from pitted copper pinholes in ageing hot water pipework to slab leaks hiding beneath concrete floors, and we back every job with upfront fixed pricing so there are no surprises on your invoice. Whether you're chasing an unexplained water bill or a damp patch that refuses to dry out, our experience means we get to the answer quickly and accurately.

Could You Have a Hidden Leak?

Signs of a Hidden Water Leak in Your Kiamba Property

A hidden leak rarely announces itself straight away. Instead, it shows up as a water bill that's crept up for no obvious reason, a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap in the house is off, or a patch of lawn or driveway that stays soggy no matter the weather. A shower recess that never quite dries out can also point to a wet wall or waterproofing failure behind the tiles, and left alone, these small signs can point to a much bigger problem brewing beneath your slab or inside a wall cavity.

Underground and under-slab leaks are particularly tricky because the water often travels before it surfaces, meaning the damp patch on your ceiling might be a long way from the actual leaking pipe. Hot water systems with older copper, poly or PEX pipework are also prone to pinhole leaks that pit the pipe from the inside out, gradually weakening the line until it fails. In commercial buildings and strata units, a hidden leak can affect multiple tenancies before anyone notices, driving up water usage and raising questions from insurers or body corporates.

Left undiagnosed, these leaks can lead to mould, warped flooring, cracked slabs and even structural movement, none of which are cheap to put right. Catching the problem early with proper leak detection is almost always the more sensible path.

    Our Solution

    How Kiamba Plumbing & Drains Locates and Fixes Leaks in Kiamba

    Rather than breaking open walls or slabs on a guess, Kiamba Plumbing & Drains uses proven, non-invasive leak detection technology to pinpoint exactly where a pipe has failed. This means less mess, less disruption, and a repair that targets only the section of pipe that actually needs it.

    • Acoustic listening devices and ground microphones to hear pressurised water escaping underground
    • Thermal imaging and moisture mapping to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Tracer gas and correlation testing for poly, PEX or noisy sites where acoustic methods alone aren't enough
    • Pressure and isolation testing from the meter or toby to the house, to confirm whether a spinning meter is a genuine leak
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, ready for insurers or restoration teams

    Once we've marked the leak, our plumbers can carry out the repair straight away, whether that's a patch repair, a section of pipe relining, or a full copper replacement where the pipework has had its day. It's one team, one visit, and one fixed price for the whole job.

      Common Questions

      Leak Detection FAQs

      Leak detection can sound like a mysterious process if you haven't dealt with it before, so we've answered some of the questions our Kiamba customers ask most often. If you don't see your question here, give our team a call and we'll be glad to talk it through.

      We rely on non-invasive methods first, including acoustic listening devices that pick up the sound of pressurised water escaping underground, and thermal imaging cameras that trace temperature changes caused by hot or cold water travelling through walls, ceilings and slabs. In trickier cases, such as poly or PEX pipe, or particularly noisy sites, we may also use tracer gas or correlation testing. These methods let us mark the leak's location accurately before any opening up happens, so only the affected section needs to be exposed.
      An unexplained rise in usage is one of the clearest signs of a hidden leak, and it doesn't always show up as a puddle. It could be a running toilet, a worn irrigation line, or a leak on the underground main between the meter and your house. We start by carrying out isolation tests and watching the meter to confirm whether water is escaping when everything inside is turned off, then narrow down where along the line the loss is happening.
      Drinking water leaks, stormwater drainage and sewer seepage can all create wet patches or damp areas, but they come from completely different systems and need different fixes. A leaking water pipe usually shows up as a spinning meter or rising bill, while sewer or stormwater issues are more often tied to drain blockages or heavy rain and may need a dye test or smoke test on the drain to confirm. Part of our job is working out which system is actually responsible, so we send the right repair rather than digging in the wrong spot.
      Yes, slab leaks are one of the more common jobs we handle. They often show up as a warm patch on the floor, a musty smell in a particular room, or persistently high water usage. Using acoustic equipment and thermal cameras, we can usually pinpoint the leak's location closely enough that only a small section of slab needs to be opened, rather than breaking up the whole floor to search for it.
      We can. Once we've located the source of a leak, we put together a written report with photos and marked locations that clearly shows where the leak is and what caused it. This kind of documentation is often exactly what insurers and restoration companies need to assess a claim, so it's worth arranging a proper leak detection before repairs begin.
      Older copper hot water pipework is prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting inside the pipe, which weakens the copper from the inside out over time. Once one pinhole appears, others often aren't far behind, especially in ageing loops. We can locate the pinhole in question and talk you through whether a patch repair, a section replacement or a broader repipe makes the most sense for your situation.
