Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor more than 20 years, Haigslea Plumbing & Drains has helped home and business owners throughout Haigslea and greater Ipswich track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly damage. Our licensed plumbers use acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and correlation equipment to pinpoint leaks under slabs, inside cavity walls and along underground mains, without unnecessary digging or demolition. We understand that many properties around Haigslea still have original copper, poly or galvanised pipework, so we adjust our approach depending on the age and layout of your plumbing. Backed by upfront fixed pricing and a lifetime workmanship guarantee, we've built our name on getting the diagnosis right the first time, every time.
You'll know the exact cost of your leak detection before we start, with no hidden extras added later.
Our plumbers respect your home, leaving your property as clean as we found it once the job's done.
Every repair carried out following a leak detection is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Home and business owners across Haigslea rely on our fully licensed team for honest, accurate leak diagnosis.
A hidden water leak rarely announces itself with a dramatic burst pipe. More often, it shows up as a damp patch on the lawn, a musty smell in a back bedroom, or a water bill that has quietly crept up for no obvious reason. At Haigslea Plumbing & Drains, we specialise in finding these hard-to-locate leaks throughout Haigslea and the wider Ipswich region, using non-invasive equipment that saves you from unnecessary excavation or wall demolition.
Whether you're dealing with a suspected slab leak, a leaking stop cock, or an unexplained spike in water usage, our licensed plumbers arrive ready to isolate the problem quickly. We'll walk you through exactly what we find, mark the leak's location clearly, and explain your repair options in plain language. If you've noticed a warning sign at your Haigslea property, don't wait for a small leak to become an expensive one. Give our team a call and we'll get to the bottom of it.
Not every leak leaves a puddle on the floor. Slab leaks, cavity wall leaks and underground main leaks often stay hidden for weeks or months, quietly pushing up your water usage while causing damage you can't see. If your water meter keeps spinning even when every tap and appliance is switched off, that's usually the clearest sign of an undetected leak somewhere in the system.
Other warning signs include warm patches on tiled floors, a soggy patch of lawn or driveway that never seems to dry out, peeling paint, bubbling plaster, and a musty smell that lingers no matter how much you clean. If water is appearing on a ceiling below an upstairs bathroom, it's worth confirming whether it's a roof leak or a plumbing leak, since the repair for each is completely different. If you have a pool on the property, it's also worth ruling that out before assuming the fault lies with your water main.
Left unchecked, these leaks can undermine foundations, encourage mould growth, and inflate your water bill month after month. Getting a professional leak detection early on means the difference between a straightforward patch repair and a major excavation down the track.
Haigslea Plumbing & Drains combines acoustic leak detection, thermal camera scanning and pressure testing to locate leaks accurately before any repair work begins. Rather than guessing where the problem might be, our plumbers narrow down the exact location using a combination of these methods, so only the affected section of pipe needs to be exposed. From slab leak detection to hidden pipe leaks behind tiled walls, our process stays the same: locate first, then repair with precision.
Once we've confirmed the source, whether it's a leaking riser behind the shower tiles or a pinhole in an old copper line, we'll explain your options clearly. That might mean a simple patch repair, a section replacement, or in some cases a broader repipe, so you can make an informed decision about the fix that suits your budget and your home.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing work. Here are a few related services we provide to Haigslea home and business owners.
