Non-Invasive Technology
We locate leaks using acoustic and thermal equipment, protecting your walls, floors and gardens from unnecessary digging.
For two decades, Marsden Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners throughout Marsden track down hidden water leaks before they cause serious damage. Our plumbers combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint leaks accurately, so we open up as little of your wall, slab or yard as possible. We've traced everything from pitted copper pinholes under older Queenslanders to underground main breaks along quiet Marsden streets, giving local families and property managers real confidence in every diagnosis. That local knowledge, paired with genuine leak detection technology, is why residents across Logan continue to call us first.

A hidden water leak rarely stays hidden for long. It shows up as a spike in your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn, or a musty smell creeping through the house. At Marsden Plumbing & Drains, we specialise in plumbing leak detection throughout Marsden and greater Logan, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing rather than guesswork. Whether the leak is under a concrete slab, behind tiled walls or somewhere along the run from your water meter to the house, our team has the equipment and experience to locate it precisely.
If you've noticed your water meter spinning when every tap is off, a soggy patch appearing near the driveway, or ceiling stains with no obvious cause, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our Marsden team a call and we'll book in a leak detection visit, explain what we find in plain language, and quote a fixed price before any repair work begins. Fast action on a suspected leak can save you a great deal in wasted water and structural repairs down the track.
Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we find in Marsden homes are silent, hiding under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity, or along the underground line running from the meter to the house. Left alone, even a small pinhole leak in ageing copper pipe can waste a significant amount of water and slowly undermine flooring, foundations and timber framing.
An unexplained rise in your water bill, a warm patch on the tiles, mould creeping along a skirting board, or the sound of running water when everything is switched off are all signs worth investigating. Ignoring these clues rarely ends well. What starts as a minor pinhole leak in a hot water line can turn into a collapsed slab, ruined flooring or a costly insurance claim if it isn't traced and repaired early.
The tricky part is knowing whether it's a plumbing leak, stormwater intrusion or a roofing fault causing the dampness, which is exactly where accurate leak detection makes all the difference.
Rather than reaching for a jackhammer at the first sign of trouble, our plumbers use proven leak detection technology to narrow down the exact location of the problem before any work begins. This approach protects your slab, tiles, garden and driveway from unnecessary damage while giving you a clear picture of what's actually happening underground or behind the walls.
Once we've marked the exact point of failure, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch, a section of pipe relining, or a broader repipe, all at a fixed price agreed before we start.
