Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor over 20 years, Woodend Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Woodend track down hidden water leaks before they cause lasting damage. Our licensed plumbers use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to find leaks under slabs, inside walls and along underground mains without unnecessary digging.

Locals choose us because every leak detection job comes with upfront fixed pricing, a Tidy Tradie guarantee and a lifetime workmanship guarantee.

We've built our reputation across Woodend on honest advice and reliable results.
Any repair work following your leak detection is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Our team treats your home with care, cleaning up thoroughly after every leak detection and repair.
A hidden leak rarely stays small. What starts as a slightly higher water bill or a damp patch on the lawn can quietly undermine a slab, rot timber framing or feed mould behind your walls. Woodend Plumbing & Drains offers accurate, non-invasive leak detection across Woodend and the wider Ipswich region, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source before any digging or wall cutting begins. We work on water mains, hot water copper pipework, in-wall risers and under-slab plumbing, so whatever type of leak you're dealing with, we've likely traced one just like it before.
If you've noticed a spinning water meter, a musty smell in a room that won't clear, or a water bill that doesn't add up, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our Woodend team a call and we'll get a technician out to locate the leak, explain exactly what we've found and provide a fixed price to repair it. Acting early is almost always cheaper and less disruptive than waiting until the damage becomes visible.
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor. Many of the leaks we're called out to in Woodend are hidden under concrete slabs, inside cavity walls or buried along the run between the water meter and the house, quietly wasting water and money for weeks before anyone notices. A warm patch on the tiles, a hissing sound behind a wall, or a water bill that's crept up without explanation are all worth taking seriously.
Left alone, a slab leak can undermine the concrete, lift flooring and encourage mould in the plaster above it, while a leaking hot water copper pipe can pit and fail again nearby even after a quick patch. Sewer and stormwater leaks bring their own risks, from soggy lawns and sinkholes to unpleasant odours drifting through the yard. The longer a leak runs undetected, the more it tends to cost in structural repair, not just in wasted water.
If any of this sounds familiar, it's worth having a professional locate the source before assuming the worst or reaching for a jackhammer. Our leak detection technicians can usually pinpoint the exact location without unnecessary excavation, saving you both time and repair costs.
Rather than guessing where a leak might be, Woodend Plumbing & Drains uses purpose-built detection equipment to locate it precisely, then repairs only the section of pipe that's actually failed. Our Woodend technicians are trained across several detection methods, so we can match the right tool to your pipework, whether that's copper, poly or older galvanised lines.
Once we've marked the leak, we'll talk you through exactly what we found and what's involved in the repair, from a straightforward patch to a section of pipe relining, before any work begins.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues worth addressing at the same time. Alongside locating hidden leaks, our Woodend team also handles the following services.
