We locate leaks using acoustic and thermal equipment, protecting your floors, walls and gardens from unnecessary disruption.
For two decades, Whiteside Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Whiteside track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our licensed plumbers understand the older copper lines, poly pipe and concrete slabs common throughout Moreton Bay properties, so we know exactly where to look first. We combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to locate leaks accurately, without unnecessary digging or demolition. It's this blend of local knowledge and modern technology that keeps Whiteside residents calling us back whenever a plumbing problem arises.

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.
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.
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.
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.
