For two decades, Woombye Plumbing & Drains has helped Woombye homeowners and business owners track down hidden water leaks before they cause lasting damage. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's hiding under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or along the mains line running to your property. We understand the older copper plumbing common throughout Woombye's established streets, as well as the newer poly and PEX systems found in the area's growing estates, so we know exactly what to look for. When you're facing an unexplained water bill or a damp patch that won't dry out, our experience helps us find the answer quickly and without unnecessary digging.

Our plumbers live and work throughout the Sunshine Coast, so they understand the plumbing quirks specific to Woombye properties.
Woombye Plumbing & Drains provides professional plumbing leak detection across Woombye and the surrounding Sunshine Coast hinterland, using non-invasive equipment to locate leaking pipes without tearing up your yard or smashing through tiles. We investigate high water bills, wet patches on the lawn, damp walls and spinning water meters to find out exactly where the water is going. Our fixed, upfront pricing means you'll know the cost before we start, and our Tidy Tradie guarantee means we leave your home exactly as we found it.
If you've noticed a musty smell in a room, a warm patch on your slab, or your water usage climbing for no obvious reason, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Reach out to our Woombye team and we'll arrange a technician to inspect your property, trace the source of the leak and give you a clear plan for repair. Whether it's a pinhole in an old copper hot water line or a break in the main running from the street, we'll find it and fix it properly the first time.
A leak doesn't always announce itself with a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we find in Woombye homes are hidden under concrete slabs, buried in the yard between the meter and the house, or running silently inside a wall cavity behind the shower. Left unchecked, these hidden leaks can lift tiles, rot timber framing, encourage mould, and quietly push your water bill higher every quarter.
Older copper hot water pipes are particularly prone to pitting and pinhole leaks after years of service, while poly and PEX lines can develop leaks at joints and fittings. A spinning water meter with every tap turned off, an unusually green or soggy patch of lawn, or a warm spot on the concrete floor are all signs worth investigating. The longer a leak runs, the more expensive the eventual repair and clean-up tends to become.
It isn't always easy to tell whether a moisture problem is a plumbing leak, a stormwater issue, or simply condensation, which is exactly why an accurate diagnosis matters before any repair work begins.
Rather than guessing where a leak might be, our Woombye plumbers use a combination of proven detection technologies to pinpoint the exact location before any digging or wall opening takes place. This targeted approach protects your gardens, floors and finishes while getting to the source faster.
Once we've marked the exact leak position, we can carry out the repair ourselves, whether that's a straightforward patch, a section of copper replacement, or trenchless relining under the slab, so you're not left chasing a second contractor to finish the job.
Finding the leak is only half the job. Once we know what's causing the damage, our team can carry out the repair and check the rest of your plumbing to make sure nothing else is quietly failing.
We keep our leak detection process simple and transparent from the first phone call through to the final repair. You'll know what we're doing at each stage and why, with clear communication throughout so there are no surprises along the way.
We talk through what you've noticed, whether that's a high bill, a damp patch or a spinning meter, and arrange a suitable time to inspect.
Using acoustic, thermal and pressure testing equipment, we trace the leak to its exact source without unnecessary disruption.
We explain what we found, carry out the repair, and leave the work area clean and tidy.
