Noticed a Spike in Your Water Bill or a Damp Patch That Won't Dry?

Whiteside Plumbing & Drains provides thorough water leak detection for homes and businesses throughout Whiteside and the wider Moreton Bay region. Whether it's a spinning water meter with no obvious cause, a musty smell under the floor, or a wet patch appearing on the lawn, our team uses acoustic correlators, thermal cameras and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source before any repair work begins. We're familiar with the mix of older copper, poly and PEX plumbing found in Whiteside homes, so we know where problems typically start.

If you're staring at an unexplained high water bill or a soggy patch near the driveway, don't wait for the damage to spread. Give our friendly team a call and we'll organise a leak detection visit that gets to the bottom of the problem quickly and cleanly. We'll walk you through exactly what we find, mark the leak location clearly, and explain your repair options before we lift a single tile or floorboard.

Facing an Issue?

The Hidden Cost of an Undetected Water Leak

A hidden leak rarely stays hidden for long. What starts as a small pinhole in an old copper pipe or a cracked fitting under the slab can quietly waste thousands of litres of water while pushing your bill higher each quarter. Left alone, that moisture works its way into timber framing, plasterboard and flooring, creating the perfect conditions for mould and structural damage.

Some leaks are easy to spot, like a dripping tap or a running toilet, but the trickiest ones sit under concrete slabs, inside wall cavities or beneath the yard between the meter and the house. You might notice warm patches on the floor, lifting tiles, a constantly running water meter, or an unexplained rise in your water usage with no obvious cause. Stormwater and sewer issues can also mimic a water leak, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters before anyone starts digging.

    Our Solution

    How Whiteside Plumbing & Drains Locates Leaks Around Whiteside Properties

    Whiteside Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical, evidence-based approach to leak detection, using specialist equipment rather than guesswork to find the true source of the problem. Our process is designed to minimise disruption to your home while still giving you a clear, accurate answer.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for escaping water in mains, copper and poly lines
    • Thermal imaging to trace temperature changes from hot and cold leaks hiding in walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Pressure and isolation testing to confirm whether the leak sits before or after your water meter
    • Tracer gas methods for plastic pipes or noisy sites where acoustic testing alone isn't conclusive
    • Written reports with photos and marked locations, ideal for insurance claims or restoration work

    Once we've confirmed the exact location, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a patch repair, a section replacement, or trenchless pipe relining, so you can make an informed decision before any work begins.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection Questions From Whiteside Homeowners

      Leak detection can feel like a mystery if you've never needed it before, so we've answered some of the questions Whiteside homeowners ask us most often. If you don't see your question here, give our team a call and we'll happily talk you through it.

      We rely on acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to narrow down the leak's location before anyone picks up a shovel or a hammer. These tools let us listen for the sound of escaping water or spot temperature changes caused by moisture, so we can mark a precise area to open up rather than searching blindly across your whole property.
      Common signs include a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap is off, warm or damp patches on the floor, a musty smell in a particular room, lifting or cracked tiles, and a water bill that climbs without any change in your household's usage. If you notice any of these, it's worth having a proper inspection rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.
      Yes, and it's an important distinction to make before any excavation work starts. Drinking water leaks, sewer seepage and stormwater problems behave differently and often need separate testing methods. We identify which system is actually causing the issue first, so the right repair is carried out rather than digging up the wrong pipe.
      We can provide a written source-of-leak report complete with photos and marked locations, which insurers and restoration companies typically need before approving a claim. This documentation clearly outlines where the leak was found and what caused it, giving your insurer the detail they need to assess your claim.
      Absolutely, this is one of the most common reasons Whiteside homeowners call us. We start with isolation testing and a meter watch to confirm whether the leak sits inside the house, underground between the meter and the house, or is coming from a fixture like a toilet or irrigation system. From there we narrow down the exact location using our detection equipment.
      Our team can do both. Once we've confirmed exactly where the leak is, we'll explain the repair options available, whether that's a straightforward patch repair, replacing a section of pipe, or a more involved trenchless relining job, and carry out the fix with your approval.
