Cannon Hill Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating hidden water leaks throughout Cannon Hill and greater Brisbane, using acoustic listening equipment, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find leaks without unnecessary demolition. Whether you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell inside your home, our team can trace the source quickly and confirm whether it's a plumbing leak, a stormwater issue or something else entirely. We offer upfront fixed pricing on every leak detection job, so you know exactly what you're paying before we lift a tool.
If you're dealing with an unexplained wet patch, a spinning water meter or a suspected slab leak, don't wait for the damage to spread. Whether it's an emergency leak or a slow, hard-to-find drip, our friendly Cannon Hill team can assess the situation, locate the leak and set out clear options for repair. Our lifetime workmanship guarantee means you can trust the fix as much as you trust the diagnosis.
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.
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.
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.
