For two decades, Karawatha Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Karawatha track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly damage.

We understand the older copper plumbing and soil conditions common throughout local properties, which means we know where to look first. Choosing a team with genuine local leak detection experience saves you time, money and unnecessary demolition.

Karawatha Plumbing & Drains provides thorough water leak detection for homes and businesses throughout Karawatha and the wider Logan region. Using acoustic ground microphones, thermal cameras and pressure testing, we locate leaks in mains pipes, hot water copper lines, under-slab plumbing and wall cavities without needless digging or demolition. Whether you've noticed an unexplained spike on your water bill or a damp patch appearing on your lawn, our specialists arrive equipped to find the source quickly and accurately.
If you're staring at a soggy patch near your driveway, hearing water running when every tap is off, or your meter keeps spinning with nothing turned on, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Karawatha's mix of established homes and newer builds means leaks can develop in copper, poly or PVC pipework alike, and each requires a different detection approach. Pick up the phone and speak with our team, and we'll talk you through what to expect before getting a technician out to assess the situation.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself outright. Instead, it shows up as a higher than usual water bill, a patch of unusually green or soggy lawn, or a musty smell in a room that never had one before. By the time these signs appear, the leak has often been running for weeks.
Older homes in Karawatha with copper hot water lines are particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting inside the pipe, while newer properties can develop leaks where poly or PVC fittings have failed under the slab. Left unchecked, a slab leak can undermine flooring, encourage mould growth and even affect the structural integrity of your home.
It's not always easy to tell whether the moisture you're seeing comes from a plumbing leak, a stormwater issue or seepage from the sewer line. Getting the diagnosis right the first time means the correct specialist is sent to fix the actual problem, rather than digging in the wrong spot.
Rather than reaching for a jackhammer, our plumbers combine proven detection technologies to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any repair work begins. This non-invasive approach protects your floors, gardens and driveways while still giving us the accuracy needed to fix the problem properly.
Once we've marked the source of the leak, Karawatha Plumbing & Drains can carry out the repair on the spot, from a simple fitting replacement to under-slab pipe relining or a full copper section repipe, so you're not left waiting on a second tradesperson.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues worth addressing at the same time. Here are a few related services we provide across Karawatha and Logan.
