Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Oxley Plumbing & Drains has been the name Oxley homeowners and Brisbane business owners turn to when a hidden water leak threatens their property. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras and tracer gas technology to pinpoint leaks under slabs, behind walls and along underground mains without unnecessary digging. We've worked on everything from timber Queenslanders near Oxley Creek to modern units along Ipswich Road, so we understand the plumbing quirks unique to this part of Brisbane. When you need water leak detection you can rely on, our experience means we get it right the first time.
Every leak detection job is carried out by fully licensed, insured plumbing professionals you can trust.
We use acoustic and thermal leak detection to find the source without smashing tiles or digging up your yard.

You'll know the cost before we start, with no hidden fees or surprise charges on your invoice.
A hidden water leak rarely stays hidden for long. What starts as a slightly higher water bill can quickly turn into a damp subfloor, a cracked slab or mould creeping up your walls. At Oxley Plumbing & Drains, we offer dedicated leak detection across Oxley and the wider Brisbane area, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to locate the exact source of the problem. Our team understands the older homes and newer builds found throughout Oxley, from timber Queenslanders to brick-and-tile properties near the Brisbane River.
If your water meter keeps spinning when every tap is off, or you've noticed a damp patch on the ceiling or lawn that won't dry out, it's time to get it checked properly. Ignoring the signs of a hidden leak can lead to structural damage, higher water bills and mould that affects your family's health. Pick up the phone and call {{phone_number}} to book a leak detection appointment, and let our local plumbers find the source before it causes further damage. We'll explain what we find in plain language and provide a fixed price before any repair work begins.
Not every water leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we locate in Oxley are hidden beneath concrete slabs, inside wall cavities or running along underground pipework between the meter and the house. A slowly rising water bill, a warm patch on the tiles, or a musty smell in a particular room can all point to a leak that's been building for weeks or months without anyone noticing.
Left undetected, these leaks cause more than just wasted water. Under-slab leaks can undermine the foundation of your home, pinhole leaks in ageing copper pipework can weaken hot water systems, and leaking showers or roof penetrations can rot timber framing and encourage mould growth. Older homes around Oxley, particularly those with original copper plumbing, are especially prone to pitting and pinhole leaks as the pipework ages.
The good news is that most hidden leaks can be located without tearing up your yard or gutting a bathroom. With the right acoustic and thermal equipment, our plumbers can narrow down the exact location before any repair work starts, saving you time, money and unnecessary disruption.
Rather than guessing where a leak might be, our plumbers use a methodical approach backed by professional-grade equipment. We start by narrowing down the general area using isolation testing and meter monitoring, then bring in specialised tools to confirm the exact spot before any digging or demolition begins.
Once we've confirmed the source, we'll walk you through the repair options, whether that's a patch repair, a section replacement or a broader repipe, all backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Leak detection often uncovers issues that go beyond a single pipe. Our team also handles the drainage, pipe relining and general plumbing work needed to fix the underlying problem for good.
We've refined our leak detection process over 20 years so that every job in Oxley runs smoothly, with clear communication at each stage. You'll always know what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what it will cost before we proceed. Our methodical approach means fewer surprises and a lasting fix rather than a temporary patch.
We review your water usage, run isolation tests and narrow down which section of pipework is likely affected.
Using acoustic, thermal or tracer gas equipment, we pinpoint the exact leak location without unnecessary digging.
We complete the repair with fixed pricing and provide a written report, useful for insurance or your own records.
