Water leak detection - Noosa

Map of service area for Leak Trace water detection from Noosa to North Brisbane and including all of the Sunshine Coast

An underground water leak doesn't always leave a puddle.

Sometimes the first indication is an unexpectedly high water bill. In other cases, the water meter continues moving even though nobody appears to be using water.

LeakTrace provides professional water leak detection across Noosa, Noosaville, Tewantin, Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Peregian Beach, Cooroy and surrounding northern Sunshine Coast areas.

We specialise in finding the leak. Then we’ll get you 3 independent quotes to fix it.

Start with your water meter

Before paying for professional detection, there is a simple check you can perform yourself.

Turn off taps and water-using appliances and check whether your water meter continues registering use. If it does, water is still flowing somewhere.

Unitywater specifically recommends checking the meter when investigating unexplained water consumption and notes that underground leaks can remain unnoticed for long periods. (Unitywater)

When you know water is disappearing — but not where

Finding evidence of a leak and finding the physical location of the leak are different jobs.

A concealed supply pipe can run below lawns, gardens, paved areas, driveways or buildings. Digging in the wrong place can turn a leak investigation into an unnecessarily disruptive repair.

LeakTrace uses a combination of methods depending on the property and leak, including:

Thermal imaging

Thermal imaging to identify relevant temperature differences where conditions allow.

Acoustic detection

Acoustic leak detection to listen for sound created by escaping pressurised water.

CCTV cameras

We use CCTV cameras in drain pipes to identify obstructions or leaks and to determine the path of a drain underground.

What happens after Leak Trace finds it?

LeakTrace does not repair the plumbing – we don’t try and upsell you.

Once the leak has been located, we provide the information and photos needed for the next stage. We get you three independent repair quotes within 24 hours or you can use the report and photos we send to you to get your own quote.

That separation between detection and repair means our job is straightforward with no upselling: just locate the leak accurately.

Concealed leak and a high water bill?

Noosa falls within Unitywater's service area. Unitywater currently provides a Concealed Leak Allowance for some eligible customers after qualifying concealed leaks have been repaired, subject to its rules and documentation requirements. (Unitywater)

Check Unitywater's current requirements directly rather than assuming every leak qualifies.
