Our licensed technicians use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's under a concrete slab, behind a wall or running along the water main. We've built our reputation on getting it right the first time, sparing local properties from unnecessary excavation or guesswork repairs. When you're dealing with a spiking water bill or a damp patch that won't dry out, our experience means we know exactly where to look.

Meldale Plumbing & Drains offers non-invasive leak detection for homes and businesses throughout Meldale and Moreton Bay. Using acoustic sensors, thermal cameras and correlator technology, we locate leaking pipes under slabs, inside walls and along the run from your water meter to the house, all without random digging or smashing tiles. Whether you've noticed a spinning water meter, an unexplained spike in your water bill or a damp patch appearing on the lawn, our team can find the source quickly and explain exactly what's happening.
If you're staring at a soggy patch in the yard or a ceiling stain that keeps spreading, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our Meldale team a call and we'll organise a technician to inspect the property, run the appropriate tests and provide a written report you can act on. Fixed, upfront pricing means you'll know the cost before we start, and our Tidy Tradie guarantee means we leave your property as clean as we found it.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself loudly. More often, it shows up as a water bill that's climbed for no obvious reason, a patch of lawn that stays green and soggy even in dry weather, or a musty smell lingering in a particular room. Left unchecked, a slow leak under a slab or behind a wall can undermine flooring, weaken structural timber and encourage mould growth that affects indoor air quality.
Older copper hot water pipework is particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting over time, while poly and PEX lines can develop leaks at joints and fittings. Some issues are easy to mistake for something else entirely, such as confusing stormwater seepage or a sewer smell with a genuine water main leak. Getting the diagnosis right the first time means the correct team is sent to fix the actual problem, rather than opening up the wrong section of pipe.
If your water meter keeps ticking over even with every tap turned off, or you've spotted damp patches on a wall that backs onto a bathroom, it's worth having a proper inspection before the damage spreads further.
Rather than relying on trial and error, Meldale Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven technologies to confirm exactly where a leak is hiding before any pipework is opened up. This non-invasive approach protects your tiles, concrete and gardens while still delivering an accurate result.
Once the leak has been marked, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a simple patch, a section replacement or pipe relining under the slab. You'll receive a clear explanation of what we found and what's needed to fix it, with no pressure to agree to more than the job requires.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing and drainage work, so our Meldale team is equipped to handle the full job from diagnosis through to repair.
We keep our leak detection process simple and transparent, so you always know what's happening and why. Every job starts with a proper conversation about what you've noticed, followed by on-site testing using the right equipment for your situation. We finish with a clear explanation of the findings and the repair options available, so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.
We discuss your water bill, symptoms and any damp patches or damage you've noticed before arriving on site.
Using acoustic, thermal or tracer gas methods, we pinpoint the exact source of the leak without unnecessary digging.
