Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Carool Plumbing & Drains has helped Carool homeowners and business owners track down hidden leaks before they cause serious damage. Our licensed plumbers use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras and tracer gas technology to pinpoint leaks in slabs, walls and underground mains without unnecessary digging or demolition. We understand the older copper piping and poly lines common throughout Carool and the wider Gold Coast, so we know exactly where to start looking. Whether you're dealing with a spinning water meter, an unexplained spike in your water bill or a damp patch that won't go away, our experience in plumbing leak detection means we find the source fast and fix it properly.
Every technician we send to your property is fully licensed, insured and trained in the latest leak detection methods.
We locate leaks using acoustic and thermal technology, protecting your floors, walls and gardens from unnecessary damage.
You'll know the cost before we start, with no hidden fees or surprise call-out charges.
Our plumbers live and work across the Gold Coast and Tweed region, so we arrive prepared and on time.
Carool Plumbing & Drains provides thorough leak detection across Carool and the greater Gold Coast, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find the exact source of a hidden leak. From slab leak detection under concrete floors to pinhole leaks in ageing copper hot water lines, we track down the problem without guesswork or unnecessary excavation. Our team also investigates high water bills, spinning meters and unexplained wet patches around the yard, separating genuine plumbing leaks from stormwater or sewer issues so the right fix is applied the first time.
If you've noticed a musty smell, a warm patch on the floor, or a water bill that doesn't add up, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Leaks left unchecked can undermine foundations, rot timber framing and quietly inflate your water usage month after month. Call Carool Plumbing & Drains and one of our local leak detection plumbers will get to the bottom of it, backed by upfront pricing and a lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves with a burst pipe. More often they show up as subtle clues: a section of lawn that stays greener than the rest, a warm patch on the tiled floor, or a water bill that's crept up despite no change in usage. These small signs can point to a slab leak, a failing copper pipe inside a wall cavity, or a leaking connection between your water meter and the house.
Left undetected, these leaks can cause far more than an inflated bill. Moisture trapped under a concrete slab can weaken foundations over time, while a leak inside a wall cavity can lead to mould, rotting timber and damaged plaster long before it's ever visually obvious. Older copper hot water systems are particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting, and poly pipe fittings can fail quietly underground for months without warning.
It isn't always easy to tell whether an issue is a genuine plumbing leak, a stormwater problem, or sewer seepage, which is exactly why professional leak detection matters. Getting an accurate diagnosis early means only the affected section needs repair, rather than an entire pipe run or floor.
Carool Plumbing & Drains combines several detection methods to find the exact source of a leak before any repair work begins, whether that's slab leak detection under a concrete floor or a leak hidden inside a wall cavity. Depending on the pipe material and location, our plumbers may use:
Once we've marked the exact spot, we'll explain what we've found and recommend the most practical fix, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section replacement, or pipe relining for a longer-term solution.
