Common Signs of a Water Leak in Your Home

  • Damp or Wet Spots: Moisture on walls or ceilings often shows water leaking behind the scenes.
  • Low Water Pressure: Decreased water pressure could be caused by a leak in your system.
  • Mold and Mildew: Water leaks create the perfect environment for mold growth, which can lead to health risks.

Types of Leaks We Detect

  • Hidden Pipe Leaks: Leaks behind walls, floors, or ceilings that are hard to detect with the naked eye.
  • Slab Leaks: Leaks beneath concrete slabs that can cause structural damage if left untreated.
  • Underground Leaks: Leaks in your external pipework or water supply lines.
  • Roof Leaks: Water enters through damaged roofing, causing internal water damage.

How to Read Your Water Meter

Leak detection is incredibly important and is something that every single Redlands, Brisbane & Gold Coast homeowner should be aware of. Still, the reality is, that not enough individuals who own a house do regular checks to make sure that they do not have any leaks that they cannot see.
The fact that it is so easy to check whether you leak or not is all the more reason to check if you have any leaks, which can be done by doing a simple test with your water meter. Here is how to check and read your water meter, to determine if you leak somewhere in the piping system of your home, which could be dripping in the walls or leaking under the slab and causing all sorts of problems.

Reading the Meter

You may want to do a little bit of research if you are a new homeowner or have never read a water meter before, although it is very basic. The water meter shows you how much water you have used over a given period and is usually located somewhere outside the house on the side of the home.
You might also want to check with the manufacturer if you cannot figure out how to read the meter or understand it properly, but this is not likely to happen.

Conduct a Test

The easiest way to tell if you leak in your home is to shut off every tap in the home. After you are sure that every single tap is turned off, you can be certain that your water meter should stay at the same spot, without increasing at all. You can either write down the number on the water meter, or you can simply snap a picture of the meter to let you know where it is. After about thirty minutes, you can come back and check the meter. If the meter has gone up, you leak. If the meter has remained the same, you are in the clear.

Calling a Leak Detection Company

If you perform a leak detection test and discover that you leak, you must take care of the situation as soon as you possibly can. Leaks can cost a massive amount of money and rack up tens of thousands of dollars in damages very quickly, so this is something to take very seriously.

If you are in the Brisbane (north or south) and Gold Coast Area and think you leak, don’t hesitate to call us at Clear View Plumbing, even if it is for some free advice. We will happily assist you.

The Right Equipment for the Job

Not all companies carry all the necessary equipment to locate the tough leaks. Your local plumber may carry a basic ground microphone which in some cases may be adequate, but what if your leak is under concrete and you live on a busy road? That equipment will not locate your leak. You might as well just start digging holes and that is what some plumbers do……

The equipment your professional leak detection specialist should carry:


Adjustable Ground Microphones that can cut out different noises to focus specifically on the leak
A device that can trace your water line – this is a must! Must be able to track Poly Pipe and Copper
A gas tracer system – Very Important also – can be used if the leak is very small or the environment is noisy. Also great to get confirmation on the area after the initial location using the ground microphones especially if you’re about to cut up someone’s driveway.

Experience is a Must
This is perhaps more of an obvious one when looking at finding the right person for the job. Not all leak detectors are plumbers nor do they have to be. Why not ask how long they have been locating leaks or perhaps ask if you can call a past customer?  Like all industries, it can be hit and miss. If your plumber is a leak detector specialist, chances are they will be able to find and fix it, which can be helpful. This would save you the time and hassle of finding another plumber to fix the problem. On that note, you need a plumber to fix the problem so you can claim from your local council to get some money back from your water bill.

So Where to From Here

The best advice is to do your research – ask for a quote and remember the cheapest price may not be the best choice and the most expensive price may not be the best service. Check their equipment and experience and of course price. Once you have all the info you can make an educated choice.

Clear View Plumbing has all the equipment to find your leak – no matter how small or big. If you’re dealing with a leak or require professional leak detection, Clear View Plumbing is here to help. Our leak detection plumbers operate all over Brisbane, delivering trusted and reliable service every time.
