Fully Licensed & Insured
Every technician we send to your Currumbin property is fully licensed, insured and trained in the latest leak detection methods.
For over 20 years, Currumbin Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Currumbin track down hidden water leaks before they cause serious damage. From beachside properties near Currumbin Alley to the larger acreage blocks scattered through Currumbin Valley, our technicians understand how local soil conditions, older copper pipework and coastal humidity can all play a part in a leak going unnoticed. We combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, rather than opening up walls or slabs on a guess. That local knowledge, paired with genuinely capable detection technology, is why so many Currumbin residents call us first when their water bill spikes or a patch of lawn stays wet for no obvious reason.
Every technician we send to your Currumbin property is fully licensed, insured and trained in the latest leak detection methods.
We locate leaks using acoustic and thermal equipment first, so we only open up the exact section of pipe or wall that needs repair.
Any repair carried out after a leak is located is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee for lasting reassurance.
Our team lives and works across the Gold Coast, so we understand the plumbing quirks common to Currumbin's older and newer homes alike.
Currumbin Plumbing & Drains provides comprehensive leak detection across Currumbin and the wider Gold Coast, covering everything from a slowly rising water bill to visible damp patches on ceilings and walls. Using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and tracer gas where needed, we locate leaks in mains, copper, poly and PEX pipework without resorting to unnecessary digging or demolition. Our vans carry the equipment to test isolation valves, trace the meter-to-house main and check under slabs, so most jobs can be diagnosed and quoted in a single visit.
If you've noticed a spinning water meter with everything turned off, a musty smell in a particular room, or a section of yard that never seems to dry out, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our Currumbin team a call and we'll get a technician out to find the source of the leak and explain your repair options in plain language, with nothing hidden on the invoice.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself outright. More often, it shows up as a higher than usual water bill, a faint hissing sound behind a wall, or a warm patch on tiled or timber flooring with no obvious explanation. In older Currumbin homes with original copper hot water lines, pinhole leaks can develop from the inside out, slowly wetting the slab or wall cavity long before any staining appears on the surface.
Other times the signs are easier to spot: a soggy patch of lawn that stays green through dry spells, a driveway that stays damp for days after rain has stopped, or ceiling stains that keep returning after painting. It isn't always obvious whether the culprit is a water supply leak, a stormwater issue or sewer seepage, which is exactly why a proper diagnostic visit matters before anyone starts digging or cutting into finished surfaces.
Left unchecked, even a small leak under a slab or within a wall cavity can lead to lifted flooring, mould growth and structural timber damage over time. Catching it early with the right equipment saves both money and the disruption of a much larger repair later on.
Currumbin Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical, evidence-based approach to leak detection, starting with the least invasive methods available and only progressing further if the leak remains elusive. Our technicians are equipped to handle everything from a simple tap washer that's let go to a stubborn under-slab leak that's been driving up your water bill for weeks.
Once we've marked the exact location, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a straightforward patch repair, a section of copper replacement, or trenchless pipe relining for a leak running under the slab. You'll always know what's involved before any work begins.
