Whether it's a spinning water meter, an unexplained damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell creeping through a hallway, Gaven Plumbing & Drains is ready to help homeowners and business owners throughout Gaven and the greater Gold Coast region. We bring specialised acoustic and thermal imaging equipment to every job, allowing us to trace leaks running through slabs, walls and underground mains without resorting to guesswork or unnecessary demolition. Our team also handles the repair once the leak is found, from a simple washer replacement to a full section of pipe relining.
If you've noticed a higher than usual water bill, a soggy patch in the yard or a ceiling stain that keeps spreading, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Pick up the phone and speak with our local team today, and we'll arrange a technician to attend your property, locate the source of the leak and explain your repair options in plain language.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself. Instead, it shows up as a higher water bill you can't explain, a patch of unusually green or soggy lawn, or a faint hissing sound behind a wall. Left alone, even a small pinhole leak in an ageing copper pipe can waste thousands of litres of water and quietly undermine timber flooring, plasterboard and foundations.
Slab leaks are particularly tricky, as the concrete hides the problem until warm patches appear on the floor or the meter keeps ticking over with every tap turned off. Ceiling stains and peeling paint can also point to a leaking shower waterproofing membrane or a cracked pipe fitting upstairs, rather than a roof problem as many homeowners first assume.
Because these issues sit out of sight, guessing at the source often leads to unnecessary excavation or opened-up walls that miss the actual leak entirely. That's where a proper leak detection inspection earns its value, narrowing the search down to a marked spot before any tools come out.
Rather than relying on guesswork, our technicians use a combination of proven, non-invasive tools to narrow down the exact source of a leak before any repair work begins. This approach saves time, protects your property and gives you a clear answer about what's actually happening beneath your floors or behind your walls.
Once we've marked the leak, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch repair, a section of copper replacement, or trenchless pipe relining under the slab.
Leaks are sometimes linked to broader drainage or pipe issues, so we offer a full range of plumbing services to keep your Gaven property running smoothly. Below are a few related services worth considering if you're dealing with more than a single leak.
We've refined our leak detection process over 20 years of fieldwork across the Gold Coast, keeping it simple, methodical and respectful of your property. Each step is designed to narrow down the source of the leak before any invasive work takes place, saving you time and unnecessary repair costs. Here's what to expect when you book a Gaven Plumbing & Drains technician.
We start by reviewing your water bills, meter readings and any visible signs like damp patches or ceiling stains. This helps narrow down whether the leak is likely in the mains, a fixture or under the slab.
Using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and tracer gas where needed, we trace the leak to its precise location. This step avoids unnecessary digging or opened-up walls.
Once located, we mark the exact spot and explain your repair options in plain terms. If you'd like, we can carry out the repair on the spot or provide a written report for insurance purposes.
