Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Lindum Plumbing & Drains has been tracing hidden leaks throughout Lindum and the surrounding Brisbane suburbs, from older Queenslanders near the Lindum train line to newer builds close to the Wynnum foreshore. Our technicians combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint a leak without unnecessary digging or demolition. We understand the copper and poly pipework common throughout this part of Brisbane and know exactly where pinhole leaks and cavity leaks tend to hide. That local knowledge, paired with genuine plumbing experience, is why Lindum residents keep calling us back.
Every leak detection job is carried out by qualified, insured plumbers you can rely on.
Homeowners and businesses across Lindum recommend us for honest, accurate leak location.
Every repair following a leak detection is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Our team has spent two decades tracking down even the smallest, most stubborn leaks.
Lindum Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating water leaks before they cause structural damage, mould or an unexplained spike in your water bill. Using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and non-invasive tracer methods, we find leaks hiding under slabs, inside walls and beneath timber floors throughout Lindum and greater Brisbane. Rather than guessing or breaking up concrete, our approach protects your property while still getting to the source of the problem quickly.
If you have noticed a damp patch on the lawn, a spinning water meter with no obvious cause, or a musty smell inside your Lindum home, do not wait for the problem to worsen. Our upfront fixed pricing means you know the cost before we start, and our Tidy Tradie guarantee means we leave your property as clean as we found it.

A leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe. More often, it shows up as a higher than usual water bill, a patch of unusually green or soggy lawn, or a faint sound of running water when every tap in the house is off. In older Lindum homes with original copper pipework, pinhole leaks can develop slowly inside walls or under the slab, causing gradual damage long before anyone notices a puddle.
Left unchecked, a hidden leak can lift tiles, soften timber flooring, encourage mould growth and even undermine the structural integrity of a slab. Ceiling stains, peeling paint and a persistently damp wall cavity are all warning signs that water is travelling somewhere it should not be. The longer a leak runs, the more expensive the eventual repair tends to become, which is why early detection matters.
Sometimes what looks like a plumbing leak is actually stormwater pooling or a sewer line seeping underground, so an accurate diagnosis matters before any digging starts. Our team is trained to tell the difference between a water supply leak, a sewer issue and simple surface drainage, so the right fix is applied the first time.
Finding a leak accurately is about using the right tool for the job, not simply reaching for a jackhammer. Lindum Plumbing & Drains carries a full kit of non-invasive leak detection equipment, allowing us to trace water leaks through walls, under slabs and beneath timber floors across Lindum with minimal disruption.
Once the leak is marked, we discuss the most sensible repair with you, whether that is a patch repair, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless pipe relining under the slab. Lindum Plumbing & Drains handles the entire job from detection through to repair, so Lindum property owners are not left chasing multiple tradespeople to solve one problem.

Leak detection can feel like a mystery when you cannot see the problem yourself, so we have answered some of the questions Lindum customers ask us most often. If you cannot find what you are looking for below, our team is always happy to talk it through over the phone.
The most common clues are a water bill that has crept up without explanation, a section of lawn or garden bed that stays damp when the rest of the yard is dry, or the sound of trickling water somewhere in the house with every tap switched off. Musty smells, peeling paint or a warm patch on the floor can also point to water travelling somewhere it should not be. If any of this sounds familiar, it is worth having the issue properly investigated rather than waiting to see if it resolves on its own.
Not usually. We rely on non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to narrow down the leak location before any digging or demolition takes place. This approach means we can generally pinpoint the source of the problem and open up only the specific section that needs attention, rather than disturbing large areas of your property on a guess.
A slab leak occurs within the plumbing that runs beneath a concrete floor, which can be trickier to locate since the pipework is hidden from view. Leaks elsewhere in the house, such as within a wall cavity, ceiling or under a bathroom floor, tend to show different warning signs like localised dampness or staining. Our detection methods suit both scenarios, using thermal imaging and acoustic tools to work out exactly where the water is escaping regardless of whether it is under the slab or higher up in the structure.
Yes, we can provide a written source-of-leak report that includes photos and marks the exact location of the problem. This kind of documentation is often required by insurers and restoration companies before they will approve or process a claim, and having a clear, professional report can help move things along more smoothly.
An unexplained rise in water usage can point to a leak that is not visible on the surface, such as a slab leak, a leaking toilet cistern, or a fault in the underground main between the meter and the house. We can carry out isolation testing and monitor the meter to work out whether the issue is inside the home or somewhere along the supply line, then use acoustic or thermal methods to pinpoint the exact spot.
We handle both. Once the leak has been marked and confirmed, our plumbers can carry out the repair straight away, whether that involves a patch repair, replacing a section of pipe, or a broader fix such as trenchless pipe relining under the slab. Having one team manage detection and repair means less disruption and a faster path back to normal.
A hidden leak will not fix itself. The sooner it is found, the less damage it can cause to your home or business.
