Calba Plumbing & Drains provides thorough leak detection across Calba and the wider Sunshine Coast region, using non-invasive methods to locate hidden water leaks in walls, slabs, ceilings and underground pipework. Whether you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell in a room that won't go away, our team has the tools and experience to find the source quickly. We work on homes, units and commercial properties alike, tracing leaks from the meter through to the internal fixtures without guesswork.
If you're dealing with an unexplained high water bill, a spinning meter with no obvious cause, or suspect a slab leak under your Calba property, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Pick up the phone and speak with our team, and we'll talk you through what's happening before arranging a technician with the right equipment for the job. Acting early on a hidden leak can save your flooring, foundations and hip pocket from further damage down the track.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself with a dramatic burst pipe. More often, it shows up as a water bill that climbs for no obvious reason, a patch of lawn that stays soggy long after rain, or a warm spot on an otherwise cool tiled floor. These are the quiet signals of a leak working away under a slab, inside a wall cavity or along a buried water main, and they're easy to dismiss until the damage becomes serious.
Left unchecked, a slab leak or an in-wall pipe leak can undermine flooring, warp timber, and encourage mould growth in places you can't see. Hot water copper pipes are particularly prone to pinhole corrosion after years of service, while poly and PEX lines can fail at joints buried well below the surface. Without proper leak detection equipment, tracking these problems down usually means unnecessary digging or knocking through perfectly good walls.
The good news is that most leaks leave a trace, whether it's a sound, a temperature change or a pressure drop, that our technology can pick up. Getting professional leak detection sorted early means smaller repairs, less mess and a clearer answer to what's really going on with your water usage.
Calba Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to leak detection, starting with a conversation about what you've noticed and a review of your water meter and property layout. From there, we bring in the right combination of technology to locate the leak precisely, rather than relying on guesswork or unnecessary excavation.
Once we've marked the exact location, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section of copper replacement or trenchless pipe relining under the slab. Every Calba job comes with our upfront fixed pricing and lifetime workmanship guarantee, so you can move forward with confidence.
