Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor over 20 years, Rothwell Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Rothwell and the wider Moreton Bay region track down hidden water leaks before they cause lasting damage. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's under a concrete slab, behind a tiled shower wall, or buried along the water main. We know the older copper pipework and poly lines common throughout Rothwell's established streets, so we understand where pinhole leaks and cavity pipe failures tend to occur. Rather than guessing or opening up walls unnecessarily, we locate the problem accurately the first time, saving you money on repairs that were never needed.

You'll know the cost before we start, with no hidden fees on any leak detection job.
Our fully qualified plumbers bring two decades of hands-on leak detection experience.
Whether it's a spinning water meter with no obvious cause, a damp patch appearing on your ceiling, or a hot water bill that's crept up for no reason, Rothwell Plumbing & Drains can get to the bottom of it. We service Rothwell and right across Moreton Bay, using acoustic listening equipment, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find leaks in mains, copper, poly and PEX pipework without unnecessary digging or demolition. Our team arrives with the right gear to isolate the problem quickly, so you're not left waiting while water damage gets worse.
If you've noticed pooling water in the yard, a musty smell inside the house, or you're simply unsure why your bill has jumped, don't wait for the problem to grow. Pick up the phone and speak with a local plumber who understands the plumbing systems typical of Rothwell homes and businesses. We'll talk you through what to expect, book a time that suits, and get started on finding your leak with minimal fuss.
A hidden water leak rarely announces itself straight away. It might start as a slightly higher water bill or a faint dampness under the carpet, then slowly progress into warped flooring, mould growth or a weakened slab. By the time most people notice something is wrong, the leak has often been running for weeks or longer.
Leaks under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or along an underground main can be particularly tricky to pin down, since there's rarely a visible drip to point you in the right direction. Old copper pipework is prone to pinhole leaks from internal pitting, poly pipe can crack at the joints, and even a faulty toilet cistern or irrigation line can quietly waste a surprising amount of water.
Left unchecked, a hidden leak can lead to structural damage, rising damp, an unpleasant musty odour and a water bill that keeps climbing. Getting a professional to trace the exact source early on means the damage, and the disruption of finding it, stays as small as possible.
Rather than relying on guesswork or opening up walls and floors on the off chance, Rothwell Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical, evidence-based approach to leak detection. We start by narrowing down the likely area using isolation tests and meter checks, then bring in specialist equipment to confirm the exact location before any repair work begins.
Once we've marked the exact spot, we'll talk you through the most practical repair option, whether that's a patch repair, a section of relining, or a full replacement, so you're never left guessing about what happens next.
