Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor more than two decades, Tanawha Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Tanawha track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our technicians combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source of a leak without unnecessary digging or demolition. We understand the older copper plumbing and slab-on-ground construction common throughout Sunshine Coast, which means we know exactly where to look first. Whether it's a spinning water meter, a damp patch on the lawn, or an unexplained rise in your water bill, our local team gets to the bottom of it quickly and accurately.
Every leak detection job is completed by fully licensed, insured plumbers you can trust.
Local homeowners rely on us for honest, accurate leak location work, job after job.
You'll know the cost before we start, with no hidden fees added once work is underway.
Our team lives and works across the Sunshine Coast, so we understand local plumbing systems.
Tanawha Plumbing & Drains provides professional water leak detection to homes and businesses throughout Tanawha and the wider Sunshine Coast region. Using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and non-invasive tracer methods, we locate hidden leaks in walls, under slabs and along underground mains without tearing your property apart. From pitted copper pipes in older hot water systems to leaking risers behind tiled showers, our plumbing leak detection process finds the source fast and explains exactly what needs to happen next.
If you've noticed a spinning water meter, a musty smell in a particular room, or a water bill that doesn't add up, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Call our Tanawha team and we'll arrange a technician to assess the situation, often on the same day. Every quote is fixed and upfront, and our lifetime workmanship guarantee means you can trust the repair as much as the diagnosis.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself. It might show up as a warm patch on the tiled floor, a soggy corner of the lawn, or a water bill that's crept up for no obvious reason. Left unchecked, even a small pinhole leak in a copper pipe can waste large amounts of water and quietly damage timber flooring, plasterboard and foundations.
Slab leaks are particularly tricky, since the concrete hides the problem until it surfaces as a cracked tile, a lifted floorboard or mould creeping up a wall. Underground leaks between the meter and the house behave the same way, running for weeks before anyone notices the damp ground or dropping water pressure.
If you're renovating, buying a property, or dealing with an insurance claim, an accurate leak detection report also helps everyone involved understand exactly what's happening below the surface, giving clarity instead of guesswork.
Confirming the exact location of a leak before any repair work begins means less disruption to your home, less mess, and a faster, more accurate fix. Our technicians draw on a combination of proven detection methods to build a clear picture of what's happening beneath your floors and walls.
Once we've marked the leak, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch, a section of pipe replacement, or a broader repipe, so you can make an informed decision.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues that need attention, from ageing pipework to blocked drains. Our Tanawha team handles the full repair too, so there's no need to call around for a second tradesperson.
We've refined our leak detection process over 20 years of fieldwork across the Sunshine Coast, so every job follows the same reliable steps. This keeps disruption to a minimum and gives you clear answers instead of a list of guesses. Our approach is methodical, matching the right tool to each situation rather than reaching straight for the jackhammer.
We start with a full assessment, checking meters, isolation valves and visible signs before choosing the right detection method.
Acoustic, thermal or tracer methods are used to pinpoint the exact source, marked clearly for repair.
We complete the repair, then confirm the fix with a follow-up check, backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
