Leak Detection · Brisbane & SEQ
Hidden leaks can go unnoticed until they cause damage or a higher water bill. Our licensed plumbers use specialist methods to locate leaks accurately across Brisbane and South East Queensland.
The short answer
Leak detection is the process of locating a hidden water or gas leak without unnecessary demolition. The Plumbing Gang’s licensed plumbers use pressure testing, thermal imaging, acoustic sounders, tracer gas and water meter tests to pinpoint the source, so repairs can be planned and priced before work starts.
Available 24/7 across Brisbane and South East Queensland. Urgent jobs are reached within 60 minutes where available, with fixed-price options before any work starts.
Hidden leak?
A high water bill, a damp patch or a meter that keeps turning are all signs water is escaping somewhere. Finding it without pulling the house apart takes the right tools and a methodical approach.
Once we’ve found it, we explain what’s going on, show you where it is and give you options to fix it.

We aim to locate the leak as precisely as possible so any access work is kept to a minimum.
