This experience means we can usually tell within a short visit whether you're dealing with a slab leak, a pitted copper joint or simply a running toilet. When you need answers about a rising water bill or a damp patch that won't dry out, our track record across Gilberton speaks for itself.

A hidden water leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe. More often it shows up as a spike on your water bill, a musty smell in a hallway, or a warm patch on the tiles above your slab. Gilberton Plumbing & Drains offers dedicated leak detection across Gilberton and the broader Gold Coast, using acoustic sensors, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find the source without guesswork. Whether the leak sits under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or somewhere along the run from your meter to the house, our team has the tools to track it down.
If you've noticed your meter still spinning with every tap turned off, or you're chasing a damp ceiling that keeps returning no matter how many times it's patched, don't wait for the problem to grow. Call Gilberton Plumbing & Drains on {{phone_number}} and one of our local plumbers will talk you through what to expect. We work on homes, units and commercial premises throughout Gilberton, and we're upfront about pricing before any work begins.
Many leaks stay hidden for weeks or months before anyone notices, quietly running up water bills while soaking into slabs, timber frames and plasterboard. A higher than usual water bill, a hot spot on the floor, or the sound of running water when every tap is off can all point to a leak somewhere in the system.
Older copper pipework is particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting, while poly and PEX lines can develop slow leaks at fittings and joints. Left alone, these small leaks can lead to mould, warped flooring, lifted tiles and even damage to timber framing over time.
It isn't always easy to tell whether moisture is coming from a plumbing leak, a stormwater issue or a roofing problem, which is why proper diagnosis matters. Gilberton Plumbing & Drains separates drinking water leaks from sewer seepage and stormwater ingress, so the right fix is applied the first time rather than opening up the wrong section of the property.
Gilberton Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to finding leaks, starting with the least invasive method available and only escalating where necessary. Rather than guessing where a leak might be, our plumbers use purpose-built diagnostic equipment to narrow down the exact location before any work begins.
Once we've marked the leak's exact position, we'll walk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section of pipe relining or a broader repipe if the rest of the line is showing its age. Every leak detection job in Gilberton comes with fixed pricing agreed upfront and our lifetime workmanship guarantee, so you know exactly what you're paying for and what's covered.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues along the way, from ageing pipework to blocked drains. Gilberton Plumbing & Drains offers a full range of plumbing services across Gilberton, so whatever we find during your inspection, we can fix it in the same visit.
Finding a hidden leak takes patience, the right equipment and a plumber who knows how to read the signs. Gilberton Plumbing & Drains follows a straightforward process on every leak detection job in Gilberton, so you always know what's happening and why. We start with the least invasive method available and only move to more detailed testing if the first pass doesn't give us a clear answer.

Thermal imaging, pressure testing or tracer gas confirms the exact position, whether it's under the slab or inside a wall.
We mark the leak, explain your repair options in plain terms, then carry out the fix with your fixed price agreed upfront.
