Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor more than 20 years, Colmslie Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Colmslie pinpoint hidden water leaks before they cause costly damage. Our licensed plumbers use acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and non-invasive tracer methods to locate leaks under slabs, behind walls and along ageing copper lines without unnecessary demolition.

When you need an accurate answer to where your water is disappearing to, our experience means we find it faster and with far less mess.

Our team leaves your property as clean as we found it, every single time.
Unexplained damp patches, a spiking water bill or the constant sound of running water can point to a hidden leak somewhere in your plumbing system. At Colmslie Plumbing & Drains, we specialise in tracking down these hard-to-find leaks using acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and pressure testing, so you get an accurate answer without guesswork or unnecessary excavation. Whether the leak is under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or along the line running from your meter to your house, our Colmslie based plumbers arrive with the right tools to locate it quickly.
If you've noticed a wet patch on your lawn, a musty smell in a particular room or a water meter that keeps spinning even when every tap is off, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our team a call and we'll talk you through what's happening, book a time that suits you and get a fixed price sorted before we start. The sooner a leak is found, the less damage it does to your home, your garden and your hip pocket.
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves loudly. More often, they show up as a slightly higher water bill, a patch of lawn that stays greener than the rest, or a faint hissing sound behind a wall. Left unchecked, even a small pinhole leak in an ageing copper pipe can soak through timber flooring, rot skirting boards and encourage mould to take hold in ceilings and cavities.
Many properties around Colmslie were built decades ago and often have copper or galvanised pipework nearing the end of its lifespan, which makes pinhole leaks and pitted pipes a common culprit. Slab leaks are another concern in this part of Brisbane, showing up as warm patches on tiled floors, cracking in the slab itself or a musty smell that won't shift no matter how much you clean.
Whether it's a leaking shower base, a dripping stop cock in the meter box or a burst section of stormwater pipe after heavy rain, getting the source confirmed early stops a minor issue turning into a major repair bill.
Colmslie Plumbing & Drains combines proven detection technology with genuine plumbing experience to find the exact source of your leak, not just the general area. We start by narrowing down whether the issue sits with your water supply, your stormwater system or your sewer line, then apply the right method for the job.
Once we've marked the exact leak location, we can carry out the repair straight away, from a simple patch repair to a full section replacement or under-slab pipe relining.
