Facing a Hidden Leak?

Signs You May Have an Undetected Water Leak

A hidden water leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe or flooded floor. More often it shows up as a higher than usual water bill, a soft or spongy patch in the lawn, or a faint hissing sound behind a wall. Left unchecked, even a small pinhole leak in a copper hot water line can lead to warped flooring, mould growth and weakened structural timber.

Slab leaks are particularly tricky because the concrete hides the problem from plain sight, meaning many homeowners only discover the issue once ceilings stain or tiles begin to lift. Underground mains and poly pipes can also develop leaks from ground movement, tree root intrusion or general wear, quietly wasting water and driving up your bills. Sewer and stormwater leaks bring their own risks too, including unpleasant odours and soggy yards that are often mistaken for a plumbing leak.

Whatever the cause, guessing at the source or breaking into walls and slabs without proper detection equipment usually leads to unnecessary repair costs. Our approach uses proven, non-invasive technology to confirm exactly where a leak is occurring before any repair work begins.

    Our Solution

    How Cedarton Plumbing & Drains Locates Leaks Across Cedarton

    Cedarton Plumbing & Drains combines advanced detection technology with decades of hands-on plumbing experience to find leaks quickly and accurately. Rather than relying on guesswork, our technicians use a combination of methods tailored to your specific plumbing system and property type.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to listen for pressurised water escaping mains, copper and poly pipes
    • Thermal imaging cameras to trace hot and cold water trails hidden within walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Tracer gas and non-invasive correlation methods for plastic pipework or difficult-to-read sites
    • Meter-to-house main pressure testing to confirm whether a spinning water meter points to a leak on your property
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and marked locations, ideal for insurance claims and restoration work

    Once we've marked the exact source, we'll talk you through the most practical repair options, whether that's a patch repair, section replacement or trenchless pipe relining, so you can make an informed decision about fixing the problem for good.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your Leak Detection Questions Answered

      Leak detection can be a confusing process if you've never dealt with a hidden plumbing issue before. Below, we've answered some of the questions we hear most often from Cedarton homeowners and business owners. If you can't find what you're looking for, our team is always happy to talk you through it.

      We use non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to narrow down the leak's location before any digging or demolition takes place. This means we can mark the exact spot where the pipe is failing, so only that section needs to be opened up or excavated. It's a far more targeted approach than breaking into walls or slabs based on guesswork.
      Common signs include an unexplained rise in your water bill, a section of lawn or garden that stays damp without rain, a spinning water meter when all taps are off, or a musty smell inside the home. You might also notice warm patches on the floor if a hot water line is leaking under a slab, or staining on ceilings and walls if the leak is coming from above. If you notice any of these, it's worth having a professional take a closer look.
      Yes, we carry out isolation testing at the meter or toby to determine whether the leak sits on the council side of the connection or within your own plumbing. This is an important distinction, because it affects who is responsible for the repair and which pipework needs attention. Once we've confirmed the location, we'll explain the next steps clearly.
      We can provide a written leak detection report that includes photos and marked locations of the source of the leak, which insurers and restoration companies can use to process a claim. This kind of documentation helps support your case and speeds up communication between all parties involved. Just let us know if you need a report when you book your inspection.
      Pinhole leaks in copper pipework are usually caused by pitting corrosion, which can develop over time due to water chemistry, pipe age or manufacturing inconsistencies. These leaks are often difficult to spot because they can occur inside a wall cavity or under a slab, only showing up as a warm patch or an unexplained rise in water usage. Once located, we'll advise whether a simple patch repair, a section replacement or a broader repipe is the more sensible long-term fix.
      Neither method is universally better, they work best when used together depending on the pipe material, location and how the property is constructed. Acoustic detection listens for the sound of pressurised water escaping, which works well on metal and some poly pipes, while thermal imaging traces temperature differences that can reveal a leak's path through walls or slabs. Our technicians assess each situation and choose the combination that will give the clearest result.
