Common Signs of a Hidden Leak

Could You Have an Undetected Water Leak?

A hidden leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe. More often, it shows up as a water bill that's higher than usual, a patch of unusually green or soggy lawn, or a faint sound of running water when every tap in the house is switched off. Inside, you might notice peeling paint, a musty smell in one particular room, or warm patches on tiled floors that hint at a hot water leak beneath the slab.

Left unchecked, even a small leak can waste thousands of litres of water and lead to structural damage, mould growth and weakened foundations over time. Copper hot water pipes can develop pinhole leaks from pitting corrosion, while poly and PEX lines can fail at fittings hidden inside cavity walls or under floors. Sewer and stormwater issues can also mimic a plumbing leak, so it pays to have a professional confirm exactly what you're dealing with before any digging or demolition begins.

    Our Solution

    Precise, Non-Invasive Leak Detection from Cannon Hill Plumbing & Drains

    Cannon Hill Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven leak detection technology to locate the exact source of a leak in Cannon Hill homes and businesses, sparing you from guesswork and unnecessary demolition. Our technicians are trained to interpret the readings from each method and cross-check results before recommending a repair.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping underground
    • Thermal camera leak location to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Tracer gas and nitrogen pressure testing for plastic pipe and inconclusive readings
    • Meter-to-house main tracing to confirm whether a spinning meter points to a leak on your property
    • Moisture meter checks and CCTV drain inspection to rule out sewer or stormwater sources

    Once we've marked the leak, we'll explain your repair options in plain language, from a simple patch repair to pipe relining or a section replacement, all backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Finding a hidden leak can feel stressful, especially when you're not sure what's causing it. Below, our Cannon Hill team answers some of the questions we hear most often about leak detection.

      We rely on non-invasive methods wherever possible, including acoustic listening equipment that picks up the sound of pressurised water escaping through a pipe, and thermal imaging that traces temperature changes caused by a hot or cold water leak. These tools let us narrow the leak down to a small, specific area before any opening up is needed, so only the affected section is disturbed rather than an entire wall, floor or section of yard.
      Keep an eye out for a water bill that's higher than usual without a clear reason, a section of lawn or garden bed that stays damp or unusually green, a faint hissing or trickling sound near walls or under floors, and musty smells or damp patches appearing on walls or ceilings. Warm spots on tiled or concrete floors can also point to a leaking hot water pipe running beneath the slab.
      Plumbing leaks, stormwater and sewer problems can all cause wet patches or damp areas, but they behave differently and require different equipment to trace. We use isolation testing on your water meter, combined with CCTV drain inspection where needed, to work out whether the water is coming from a pressurised supply pipe, a stormwater drain or a sewer line, so the right repair approach is used from the start.
      Yes, we can prepare a written source-of-leak report that includes photos and a clear description of where the leak was located and how it was found. This kind of documentation is often requested by insurers and restoration companies before they'll proceed with a claim, and we're happy to talk through the findings with you or your insurer if needed.
      Absolutely. Unexplained water usage is one of the most common reasons people call us, and the cause isn't always visible on the surface. We start with meter and isolation testing to confirm whether the increase is coming from inside the house or from the line running between the meter and the house, then use acoustic or thermal equipment to narrow down the exact location if a leak is confirmed.
      Pinhole leaks typically develop in older copper hot water lines due to a process called pitting corrosion, where small areas of the pipe wall gradually wear thin from the inside. This tends to happen more in properties with ageing copper pipework, and once one pinhole appears, others often aren't far behind. We can locate the affected section and talk you through whether a patch repair, a section replacement or a broader repipe is the better long-term option.
