Smart Detection
Find Leaks Before Damage Spreads
Not all leaks make a mess straight away, but the hidden ones can do the most damage. A dripping pipe inside a wall, a slow underground leak or a failing connection under a slab can go unnoticed for weeks until water bills spike or mould appears.
That’s where professional leak detection makes all the difference. At Port Macquarie Plumbing, we use advanced tools to locate hidden water leaks accurately across Port Macquarie homes and commercial properties.
We work fast and clean, using non-invasive equipment like acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging to pinpoint the problem without damaging your walls or floors. Whether it’s under concrete, behind tiles or somewhere in your stormwater system, we’ll find it and give you a clear fix plan.
If you’ve noticed signs of a possible leak or just want peace of mind, call 02 6584 8878 and we’ll get on top of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Some of the most common signs of a hidden water leak include unexpected increases in your water bill, damp or mouldy smells, water stains on walls or ceilings, bubbling paint or warped flooring. You might also hear a faint hissing or dripping noise when all taps are off. In some cases, the leak is underground, which may show up as unusually soggy patches in the yard or a drop in water pressure. If you notice any of these, it’s worth getting us to come out to inspect.
What tools are used for leak detection?
We use use several non-invasive tools for accurate leak detection. These include acoustic listening devices to detect sounds from leaking pipes, thermal imaging cameras to identify changes in temperature from water flow, pressure testing equipment and moisture meters. These tools allow us to find leaks hidden behind walls, under floors or in underground pipes without needing to cut into surfaces unnecessarily.
Does home insurance cover water leak repairs?
Coverage for water leaks varies between insurers and policies. In many cases, home insurance may cover damage caused by a leak (such as warped flooring or mould), but not necessarily the cost to repair the leaking pipe itself. Some policies require proof that the leak was sudden and accidental, not a result of gradual wear and tear. Having us perform a professional inspection can support insurance claims and help clarify what is and isn’t covered.

Preventative Repairs
Avoid Costly Water Damage
Leaks rarely fix themselves. Left too long, even a small drip can rot timber, weaken plaster, create health hazards or lead to major plumbing failures. Fast, accurate detection is so important, because it prevents the problem from growing while saving you money on future repairs.
We handle all types of leak detection, from high-set homes and tiled bathrooms to buried mains and apartment complexes. Once we’ve located the leak, we offer practical repair options and can often fix it on the spot. We also check for related risks like pipe corrosion, poor drainage or outdated fixtures that could fail next. Whether you’ve had water stains, musty smells or unexplained usage on your bill, a quick inspection today could save you thousands later.
