That local knowledge, paired with genuine leak detection expertise, means we pinpoint the source fast and only open up what's truly necessary.
Every leak detection job is carried out by fully licensed plumbers you can trust.
Twenty years of finding hidden leaks means we've seen and solved almost every scenario.

Our team knows Doonan's homes and properties, from acreage blocks to newer estates.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself loudly. It might show up as a damp patch on the ceiling, a musty smell under the floorboards, or a water bill that's crept up for no obvious reason. At Doonan Plumbing & Drains, we specialise in tracking down these hidden water leaks throughout Doonan and greater Noosa, using acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to find the exact source before any digging or demolition begins.
If you're noticing warning signs like a spinning water meter, wet patches in the yard, or unexplained dampness inside your home, it's worth getting it checked sooner rather than later. Give Doonan Plumbing & Drains a call and one of our licensed plumbers will come out, assess the situation and get to work locating the leak with minimal disruption to your property. We service homes and businesses across Doonan and the surrounding Noosa hinterland, so help is never far away.
Leaks that develop under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or along an underground water main are notoriously difficult to spot until real damage has already occurred. A slowly rising water bill, a patch of unusually green or soggy lawn, or the sound of running water when every tap is switched off are all signs worth taking seriously. Left unchecked, these hidden leaks can undermine foundations, rot timber framing and encourage mould growth in wall cavities.
Older copper hot water pipework is particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting over time, while poly and PEX lines can fail at joints or fittings buried beneath the slab. Even a small pinhole leak can waste large volumes of water and cause slow, creeping damage that becomes far more expensive to repair the longer it runs. The earlier a leak is found and marked, the smaller the repair usually needs to be.
Wet patches, stormwater seepage and even a leaking pool can sometimes mimic the signs of a water main leak, which is why an experienced eye matters. Our team knows how to identify the difference between a drinking water leak, a sewer issue and simple surface drainage, so the right fix is applied the first time.
Doonan Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical, evidence-based approach to plumbing leak detection, combining several detection methods depending on the pipe material, location and type of leak. This means we can usually pinpoint the source without unnecessary digging or demolition.
Once the leak is marked, we can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a section of copper pipe replacement, a patch repair or trenchless relining under the slab, keeping you from waiting on a second contractor. Every Doonan leak detection job comes with a clear explanation of what we found and what your options are before any work begins.
