Suspect a Hidden Leak? Call Lyons Plumbing & Drains Today

If you've noticed a spinning water meter, a soggy patch on the lawn, an unusually high water bill or a musty smell inside your Lyons home, there's a good chance a hidden leak is to blame. Rather than guessing where the problem lies or digging up half the yard, Lyons Plumbing & Drains sends experienced technicians equipped with acoustic listening gear, thermal cameras and pressure testing tools to locate the exact source. We work on slab leaks, underground mains, in-wall pipes and everything in between, giving Lyons and Brisbane property owners a clear answer instead of costly guesswork.

Once we've marked the leak, we'll explain exactly what's happening and which repair options make sense for your property and budget. Whether it's a pitted copper pinhole in an older hot water loop or a cracked poly pipe under the slab, our upfront fixed pricing means there are no surprises on the invoice. If water is pooling where it shouldn't, don't wait for the damage to spread. Pick up the phone and speak with a local leak detection specialist today.

Common Leak Warning Signs

Is a Hidden Leak Costing You Money in Lyons?

Not every leak announces itself with a burst pipe or a flooded floor. Many of the leaks we find in Lyons homes are quiet and slow, hiding under concrete slabs, inside cavity walls or beneath timber flooring for months before anyone notices. By the time a wet wall, lifting floorboards or an unexplained spike in your water bill appears, the leak has often been running for some time and the damage keeps growing.

Left unchecked, a hidden water leak can undermine foundations, encourage mould and mildew, ruin flooring and cabinetry, and push your water usage well beyond normal levels. Pinhole leaks in ageing copper hot water pipes, cracked poly or PEX lines and failing shower waterproofing are among the most common culprits we uncover across the southern Brisbane suburbs. Sewer seepage and stormwater issues can also mimic a water leak, which is why correctly diagnosing the source matters before anyone starts digging.

Whether you've spotted a damp patch on the driveway, a toilet that seems to run constantly, or your water meter ticking over when every tap is off, it pays to get an accurate diagnosis early. The sooner the leak is found, the less it costs to put right.

    Our Solution

    How Lyons Plumbing & Drains Finds Leaks Fast in Lyons

    Lyons Plumbing & Drains combines proven detection technology with two decades of hands-on plumbing experience to locate leaks accurately the first time. Rather than opening walls or breaking concrete on a hunch, we narrow down the source using a methodical, evidence-based approach before any repair work begins.

    • Acoustic listening devices and ground microphones to detect pressurised water escaping in mains, copper and poly pipes
    • Thermal imaging cameras to trace hot and cold leak trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Isolation testing and meter watches to confirm whether a spinning meter points to a leak on your line
    • Non-invasive tracer gas and correlator methods for plastic pipe or difficult, noisy sites
    • Written leak detection reports with photos and location marks, ready for insurers or restoration companies

    Once the leak is pinpointed and marked, we'll walk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section of pipe replacement or trenchless relining under the slab. Homeowners and businesses throughout Lyons trust Lyons Plumbing & Drains to get it right without unnecessary mess.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Leak Detection Questions from Lyons Locals

      Over the years we've answered plenty of questions from Lyons homeowners trying to understand what's happening beneath their floors and behind their walls. Here are some of the most common questions we hear, answered by our experienced leak detection team.

      We rely on non-invasive detection methods first, including acoustic listening devices that pick up the sound of pressurised water escaping underground, and thermal imaging cameras that trace temperature changes caused by a leaking pipe. These tools let us narrow down the exact location before any excavation or demolition happens, so only the affected section needs to be opened up.
      Common warning signs include an unusually high water bill with no obvious explanation, a water meter that keeps spinning even when every tap and appliance is switched off, damp or soft patches in the yard, musty smells inside the home, and warm spots on flooring above a hot water leak. If you've noticed any of these, it's worth getting the source checked before the damage spreads.
      Yes, and getting this right matters, because sending the wrong team out means wasted time and unnecessary digging. We assess the pattern of the wet area, the smell and where the moisture is coming from to determine whether it's a drinking water leak, sewer seepage or stormwater pooling, then bring in the right approach to fix it properly.
      Not always. Once we've pinpointed the leak location under your slab, we look at whether a small patch repair, a re-route around the affected section, or trenchless relining is the better long-term solution. Breaking the slab is sometimes necessary, but we aim to keep any opening as small and targeted as possible.
      It's possible, particularly if your home has older copper hot water pipes, which are prone to small pitted pinhole leaks over time. These leaks can be slow and hard to spot visually, but they often show up as a warm patch on flooring or a gradual drop in hot water pressure. Our thermal imaging and acoustic tools are well suited to tracking these down.
      Yes, we can provide a written source-of-leak report complete with photos and location markings once we've completed the detection. This kind of documentation is often exactly what insurers and restoration companies need to progress a claim, and it gives you a clear record of what was found and where.
