Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Cudgen Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners throughout Cudgen track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's hiding under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or along the main line running to your house. We've seen it all, from pitted copper pipes in older hot water systems to a mysterious spike in a water bill with no visible sign of trouble, and we know how to find the answer without unnecessary digging. That experience, paired with our upfront fixed pricing and Tidy Tradie guarantee, is why so many local residents call us first when something doesn't add up on their water meter.

We use acoustic and thermal technology to locate leaks without needless demolition.
You'll know the cost before we start, with no hidden surprises on your invoice.
Every repair following a leak detection is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
A rising water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell in one corner of the house are often the only clues that a leak is hiding somewhere in your plumbing. In Cudgen and across the wider Gold Coast region, these signs are easy to dismiss until the damage under a slab or behind a wall becomes serious and expensive to put right. Cudgen Plumbing & Drains sends fully equipped plumbers to track down the source using acoustic listening equipment, thermal cameras and pressure testing, so we open up only the section of pipe or wall that actually needs attention.
If you've noticed your water meter spinning when every tap is off, or you're chasing an unexplained high water bill, don't wait for the problem to grow. Our local team understands the older copper and poly pipework common throughout Gold Coast homes, along with newer builds that still run into leak trouble from time to time. Pick up the phone and speak with a plumber who can talk you through what to check and how quickly we can get someone out to help.
Water has a habit of finding the path of least resistance, which means a leak under your slab or inside a wall cavity can travel a fair distance before it ever shows up as a wet patch or stain. By the time you notice discoloured plaster, a soft spot in the flooring or a persistently soggy patch in the yard, the leak may have been running for some time, quietly pushing up your water bill and weakening the structure around it.
Hot water systems are a common culprit too, particularly older copper pipework that develops pinhole leaks from years of wear. These leaks can be trickier to trace because the wet area may appear well away from the actual source, and confusing a plumbing leak with a stormwater or sewer issue only wastes time and money on the wrong repair.
Left unattended, a slow leak can lead to mould growth, timber rot, cracked tiles and even movement in the slab itself. Getting an accurate leak location early means less disruption, a smaller repair bill and far less stress for you and your family.
Cudgen Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to every leak detection job, starting with a conversation about what you've noticed, followed by a thorough inspection using purpose-built equipment. Rather than guessing or resorting to random excavation, our plumbers narrow down the likely location before a single tile or section of lawn is disturbed.
Once we've confirmed the source, we'll talk you through the most sensible fix, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section replacement or trenchless pipe relining, so you can make an informed decision about the next step.
Finding a leak is often just the first step, and our team is equipped to handle the repair and anything else that turns up along the way. Here are a few of the other services we regularly provide alongside leak detection.
Every leak detection job follows the same careful process, whether we're chasing a high water bill in a family home or a hidden slab leak in a commercial property. This consistency is what allows us to locate leaks accurately, avoid unnecessary damage and give you a clear picture of what needs fixing before we lift a tool.
We start by reviewing your water usage, checking the meter and inspecting visible pipework for clues.
Using acoustic and thermal equipment, we narrow the leak down to a precise point before any digging begins.
