How Water Leak Detection Works
Water leak detection is the process of locating hidden water leaks without unnecessary damage to walls, floors, tiles, driveways, or concrete slabs. At Max Leak Detection, we use specialised leak detection equipment including acoustic listening devices, pressure testing equipment, and pipe locating tools to narrow down the most likely leak location.
What is acoustic leak detection?
Acoustic leak detection uses sensitive listening equipment to detect the sound and vibration created by pressurised water escaping from a pipe.
This method can help locate leaks under concrete, behind walls, beneath driveways,
and underground water lines.
Common signs of a hidden water leak
- Unexpectedly high water bills
- Water meter movement when no water is being used
- Damp smells or mould growth
- Warm or wet areas on floors
- Sound of running water when taps are turned off
- Cracks or movement in concrete or walls
What happens after the leak is located?
Once the most likely leak location is identified, the area is marked clearly to assist the homeowner, plumber, builder, or insurer with the next repair step. Max Leak Detection specialises in locating hidden water leaks. If plumbing repairs are required, we can also connect customers with trusted licensed plumbers across Brisbane.
