Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor more than 20 years, Mayne Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Mayne and greater Brisbane track down hidden water leaks before they cause lasting damage. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint leaks under slabs, behind walls and along underground mains, without unnecessary digging or demolition. Whether you're dealing with an unexplained spike in your water bill or a damp patch that won't dry out, our team has the experience to find the source quickly and explain exactly what's happening. Every leak detection job is backed by upfront fixed pricing and a lifetime workmanship guarantee, so you know exactly what you're paying for from the outset.
We take the time to correctly identify the leak source before recommending any repair work.
Homeowners across Mayne and Brisbane rely on us for honest, accurate leak detection advice.
You'll receive a clear, upfront quote before we start, with no hidden surprises on the invoice.
Every technician we send is a qualified, experienced plumber trained in modern leak location technology.
Mayne Plumbing & Drains specialises in locating hidden water leaks throughout Mayne and the wider Brisbane region, using acoustic correlators, ground microphones and thermal cameras to find leaks without guesswork. From pitted copper pinholes in ageing hot water lines to slab leaks that push up tiles or warm your flooring, we identify the exact spot before any pipe is opened up. Our fixed-price quotes mean you'll know the cost before we start, and our Tidy Tradie guarantee means we leave your home as clean as we found it.
If your water meter keeps spinning with no obvious cause, or you've noticed a musty smell, soft flooring or an unusually high water bill, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Older homes and units in Mayne, particularly those near the rail corridor and surrounding Bowen Hills, can be prone to ageing copper and poly pipework that develops leaks over time. Give our team a call and we'll arrange a technician to inspect the property, locate the leak and talk you through the best repair options.
A hidden water leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe and a flood across the kitchen floor. More often, it shows up as a warm patch on the tiles, a musty smell in a cupboard, or a water bill that's crept up without any change in your household's usage. Left undetected, even a small pinhole leak in a copper pipe can quietly waste thousands of litres and cause real damage to slabs, timber flooring and plasterboard.
In older Mayne homes, ageing copper hot water pipes and poly water lines are common culprits, particularly where pipework runs beneath a concrete slab or through a wall cavity. Stormwater and sewer issues can also mimic a plumbing leak, which is why it pays to have a licensed plumber correctly diagnose the source rather than guessing.
Ignoring the signs can mean higher water bills, mould growth, damaged flooring and, in strata or rental properties, disputes over who's responsible for the repair. Catching a leak early with proper detection equipment means less disruption, a smaller repair bill and far less stress.
Rather than breaking into walls or tearing up flooring on a hunch, Mayne Plumbing & Drains uses proven, non-invasive leak detection technology to find the exact source of the problem first. Our technicians are trained to read the evidence, from acoustic signals through pipework to thermal patterns beneath a slab, so any repair work is targeted and kept to a minimum.
Once we've marked the leak, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a patch repair, a section of copper replacement or a broader repipe, so you can make an informed decision. Every job in Mayne comes with a fixed price agreed before we start and a lifetime workmanship guarantee on the repair itself.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues that need attention, from ageing pipework to slow-draining pipes. Here are a few of the additional services our Mayne team can help with once your leak has been located.
