Fully Licensed Plumbers
Every leak detection job is carried out by a qualified, licensed plumber, never a subcontractor.
For 20 years, Baroon Pocket Plumbing & Drains has been tracing hidden water leaks across Baroon Pocket and the wider Sunshine Coast hinterland, from acreage properties near Lake Baroon to family homes closer to Maleny. Our licensed plumbers understand the older copper plumbing and long mains runs common in this area, along with the newer poly and PEX systems found in more recent builds. We combine acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras, moisture mapping and pressure testing to pinpoint a leak's exact location before any digging or demolition begins. That experience means fewer exploratory holes, less mess, and a faster path to a lasting repair.

Baroon Pocket Plumbing & Drains provides professional plumbing leak detection for homes and businesses throughout Baroon Pocket and the greater Sunshine Coast. Using acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing, our slab leak detection and water leak detection methods locate leaks hiding under concrete slabs, inside cavity walls, beneath timber floors and along underground mains, without resorting to guesswork or unnecessary digging. Whether you've noticed a spike in your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn near the Obi Obi Creek catchment, or a musty smell in a downstairs room, our team can trace the source and recommend the right fix.
If you're staring at an unexplained high water bill, a spinning water meter, a leaking water heater, or a soft patch of ground that never seems to dry out, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our team a call and we'll book in a thorough inspection, explain exactly what we find, and provide a fixed price before any repair work begins. Fast action on a hidden leak can save your home's foundations, timber flooring and garden from ongoing water damage.
A leak rarely announces itself clearly. It might turn up as a slightly higher water bill, a leaking tap you can hear inside a wall, a ceiling leak that only a plumber can trace back to its real source, or a damp patch of unusually green grass near the driveway. In many Baroon Pocket properties, slab leaks and pinhole leaks in ageing copper hot water pipes can run for weeks before anyone notices, quietly soaking into concrete, timber framing or soil.
Left alone, a hidden water leak can lift tiles, warp flooring, encourage mould growth and undermine the stability of a slab or retaining wall. Underground leaks near garden beds or driveways can erode soil over time, while a leaking hot water line can send your energy costs climbing alongside your water usage. It's not always obvious whether a water mark on a downstairs ceiling stems from a leaking pipe upstairs, a roofing issue, or condensation, which is why proper leak detection matters before any repair begins.
Our hidden leak detection process is built to catch these problems early, before they turn into costly repairs. This applies equally to commercial leak detection and strata properties as it does to standalone homes, since a slow leak in a shared wall or ceiling can affect more than one occupant.
Baroon Pocket Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven detection technologies to find the exact source of a leak before any pipework is disturbed. Rather than breaking into walls or excavating a slab on a hunch, our licensed plumbers narrow the leak down to a specific section, so only the affected pipe or fitting needs opening up.
Once the leak is marked, we can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a patch repair, a section of copper replacement, or trenchless pipe relining under the slab. Every leak detection job from Baroon Pocket Plumbing & Drains comes with a written report and photos, so you know exactly what was found and what was done.
