For two decades, Eight Mile Plains Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Eight Mile Plains track down hidden water leaks before they cause real damage.

We know the plumbing common in homes near Warrigal Road and the newer builds around Rochedale and MacGregor, so we arrive with the right gear for the job. That local knowledge, combined with genuine hands-on experience, is why families and local businesses across Brisbane's southside keep calling us first.

Eight Mile Plains Plumbing & Drains provides professional leak detection across Eight Mile Plains and the wider Brisbane area, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to locate hidden water leaks without unnecessary digging or demolition. From slab leaks under a living room floor to hot water copper pinholes in a roof cavity, our team finds the source quickly and provides a written report you can act on. We also investigate unexplained high water bills for homes, units and small commercial properties, checking the meter, toilets, irrigation and underground mains to work out exactly where your water is going.
If you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell inside your Eight Mile Plains property, it's worth getting it checked sooner rather than later. Undetected leaks can weaken foundations, damage flooring and encourage mould, so early detection saves money and stress down the track. Give our team a call and we'll book a technician to trace the leak, mark its exact location and talk you through the repair options available.
A rising water bill, a soggy patch in the yard or the sound of running water when every tap is off are all classic signs of a hidden leak. Many Eight Mile Plains homes have ageing copper pipework or slab-on-ground construction, both prone to pinhole leaks and under-slab seepage that stay out of sight until real damage has occurred. Left unchecked, a small leak under the bathroom floor or behind a wall can weaken timber framing, lift tiles and create the damp conditions mould thrives in.
Leaks aren't always where you'd expect. Sometimes it's the consumer main running from the water meter to the house, a leaking stop cock inside the meter box, or a worn washer inside an old mixer tap that's been dripping into a wall cavity for months. Other times, a wet patch that looks like a plumbing leak turns out to be stormwater pooling or sewer seepage, which calls for a different repair altogether.
Whatever the cause, jackhammering through concrete to have a look is costly and often avoidable. A proper leak detection inspection identifies the exact source first, so any repair work stays targeted, efficient and doesn't leave you with more mess than you started with.
Eight Mile Plains Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to every leak detection job in Eight Mile Plains, pairing specialised equipment with years of hands-on plumbing experience. Our technicians use non-invasive technology to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any repair work begins, keeping wall and concrete damage to a minimum.
Once the leak is marked, we can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a simple patch, a section replacement or trenchless pipe relining under the slab, meaning less disruption to your Eight Mile Plains property and a faster path back to normal.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing work, so our Eight Mile Plains team offers a full range of related services to get your property back in order.
