Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor 20 years, Robertson Plumbing & Drains has been helping home and business owners across Robertson and greater Brisbane track down hidden water leaks before they turn into major repairs. Our plumbers use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras and tracer gas methods 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 from the meter to your house. We've dealt with everything from pinhole leaks in ageing copper hot water pipes to stubborn slab leaks that have puzzled other tradespeople, and our non-invasive approach means we rarely need to break through tiles, plaster or paving to get an answer. Locals trust us because we back every inspection with a written report, fixed pricing and a workmanship guarantee that stands behind the job long after we've packed up the van.
Every leak detection job is carried out by fully licensed, insured tradespeople you can rely on.
We locate leaks using acoustic and thermal equipment, avoiding unnecessary digging or demolition.
Any repair we carry out after locating your leak is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Our plumbers know the plumbing quirks of local homes and respond quickly across Robertson.
A rising water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell in one room of the house are often the only clues that water is escaping somewhere it shouldn't. In Robertson and across Brisbane, older copper pipework, slab foundations and long driveways can all hide leaks that go unnoticed for months. Robertson Plumbing & Drains uses acoustic sensors, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find the source without guesswork, so you're not left digging up half the yard to find one small pipe.
If you've noticed your meter spinning when everything inside is turned off, or a section of ceiling that's starting to sag and discolour, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our Robertson team a call and we'll get out to inspect the property, explain what we find in plain terms and provide a fixed price before any work begins. Reach us on {{phone_number}} and we'll help you get to the bottom of it.
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor. Slab leaks, in-wall pipe leaks and mains leaks running from the meter to the house often stay hidden until the damage is already done, showing up as warped flooring, peeling paint, or a suspiciously green patch on an otherwise dry lawn. By the time these signs appear, water may have been tracking through your slab, wall cavity or garden for weeks.
Left alone, a small pinhole in a copper pipe or a leaking pan connector under a toilet can quietly push your water bill higher every quarter, encourage mould growth, and weaken timber framing or concrete over time. Some homeowners also confuse a stormwater or sewer leak with a drinking water leak, which means the wrong tradesperson gets called out first. Getting an accurate diagnosis early keeps repair costs down and protects the structure of your home.
Robertson Plumbing & Drains combines modern detection equipment with genuine plumbing experience to give Robertson property owners a clear answer, not a guess. We start by narrowing down whether the issue is a water supply leak, a sewer problem or stormwater ingress, then use the right tool for the job to mark the exact leak location.
Once we've marked the leak, we'll talk you through the repair options, whether that's a simple patch, a section of pipe replacement, or trenchless relining under the slab, so you can make an informed decision before any work starts.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues worth addressing at the same time. Here's a look at some of the related services we provide to Robertson homes and businesses.
