Booroobin Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating hidden water leaks throughout Booroobin and surrounding pockets of Sunshine Coast, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and tracer gas equipment to find leaks without unnecessary excavation. We investigate everything from a spinning water meter and unexplained high water bills to damp patches on the lawn, musty rooms or a mysteriously soggy driveway. Rather than guessing where a leak might be, our technicians use proven detection methods to mark the exact location before any repair work starts, saving you time, money and disruption to your property.
If you've noticed a higher than usual water bill, a damp wall, or water pooling somewhere it shouldn't, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Give our Booroobin team a call and we'll book in a leak detection visit to get to the bottom of it, backed by upfront fixed pricing so you know the cost before we begin. Whether it's an underground main, a pinhole in an old copper pipe or a leaking shower base, we're equipped to find it and fix it properly.
Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we're called out to in Booroobin are slow, hidden and easy to miss until the water bill arrives or a patch of ceiling starts to discolour. A slab leak beneath a concrete floor, a pinhole in an ageing copper hot water line or a leaking stop cock in a wall cavity can quietly waste thousands of litres of water before anyone notices.
Left unchecked, these hidden leaks can lead to structural damage, mould growth, lifted flooring and a far larger repair bill down the track. A soggy patch of lawn, an unusually warm spot on the slab, or the sound of running water when every tap is off are all signs worth investigating sooner rather than later. If your water meter keeps ticking over even with everything turned off, there's a good chance water is escaping somewhere it shouldn't.
Instead of breaking open walls or jackhammering slabs on a hunch, Booroobin Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical, technology-led approach to leak detection. We start with isolation testing and a meter watch to confirm whether the leak is on your side of the connection, then bring in specialised equipment to narrow down the exact location.
Once the leak is marked, our licensed plumbers carry out the repair on the spot wherever possible, whether that's a patch repair, a section replacement or a broader repipe, so Booroobin homes and businesses are back to normal with minimal disruption.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues along the way, so our Booroobin team offers a full range of related services to sort the problem from start to finish. From blocked drains to full pipe relining, we've got the equipment and experience to handle whatever we find.
We've refined our leak detection process over 20 years to be as accurate and non-invasive as possible, so you're not left with unnecessary holes in your walls or floors. Every visit follows the same clear steps, giving Booroobin customers confidence in what we're doing and why. Our fixed pricing means there are no surprises once the job is underway.
We review your water usage, check the meter and run isolation tests to confirm where the leak sits.
Using acoustic, thermal or tracer gas equipment, we narrow the leak down to a precise, marked spot.
We explain what we found, provide a written report if needed, then carry out the repair and confirm the leak is gone.
