Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Cobaki Plumbing & Drains has helped Cobaki home and business owners track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly repairs. We've worked on everything from slab leak detection under concrete floors to pinhole leaks in ageing copper pipework, and we understand the local soil conditions and building styles that make leak location in this part of the Gold Coast and Tweed region unique. Rather than guessing or breaking into walls unnecessarily, our technicians rely on acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint the exact source. That experience means fewer holes, faster answers and a repair plan you can trust.
Every leak detection job is carried out by fully licensed plumbers who know how to protect your property.
We use acoustic and thermal equipment to locate leaks before any digging or demolition begins.
You'll know the cost of your leak detection before we start, with no hidden surprises on the invoice.
Our team understands the plumbing systems and ground conditions common throughout Cobaki properties.
A hidden water leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe. More often it shows up as an unexplained spike on your water bill, a damp patch on the lawn, or a musty smell that won't go away. Cobaki Plumbing & Drains sends fully equipped technicians to Cobaki properties to locate the exact source of the problem using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing, so we're not chasing the leak with a jackhammer and guesswork.
Whether you're dealing with a slow drip under a concrete slab, a leaking shower recess, or a suspected mains leak between the meter and your house, our plumbers arrive with the right gear for the job. If you're anywhere in Cobaki or the surrounding Gold Coast and Tweed area and you're worried about water where it shouldn't be, don't wait for the damage to spread. Give our team a call and we'll get someone out to assess the situation.
Most hidden leaks in Cobaki homes don't show up straight away. You might notice your water meter still ticking over even with every tap turned off, or a section of lawn that stays soggy no matter how dry the weather has been. Inside the house, a musty odour, peeling paint, or a warm patch on the tiled floor can point to a hot water leak running beneath the slab.
Left alone, these issues rarely stay small. A pinhole leak in an old copper pipe can slowly undermine flooring, while a leaking shower waterproofing membrane can rot timber framing behind the wall before you ever see a stain. If you've had an unusually high water bill or a plumber has mentioned water usage that doesn't add up, it's worth getting a proper leak detection inspection rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.
Finding a hidden leak isn't about pulling up floors and hoping for the best. Cobaki Plumbing & Drains uses purpose-built equipment to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any repair work starts, saving Cobaki property owners unnecessary damage and expense. Our approach typically includes:
Once the leak is confirmed and marked, we can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a section of copper replacement, an under-slab reline, or a straightforward fitting repair.
Locating the leak is only half the job. Cobaki Plumbing & Drains also handles the follow-up work, from pipe repairs to drain inspections, so you're not left juggling multiple tradespeople for one problem.
We keep our leak detection process straightforward so Cobaki customers know exactly what to expect from start to finish. Every job begins with a proper conversation about what you've noticed, whether that's a high water bill, a damp patch, or a sound of running water with no obvious cause. From there, we move through detection, confirmation and repair without unnecessary delays or guesswork.
We start by discussing symptoms like water bill spikes or damp areas, then carry out isolation tests to narrow the search.
Acoustic listening, thermal imaging or tracer gas methods are used to pinpoint the leak without unnecessary digging.
Once located, we repair the affected pipe or fitting and provide a written report detailing what was found and fixed.
