Leak Detection Townsville

Advanced Leak Detection Services in Townsville

Water leaks that go undetected can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your Townsville home or business. TradeWorks NQ uses state-of-the-art electronic leak detection equipment to locate hidden leaks without unnecessary damage to your property. No more breaking walls or digging up yards trying to guess where the leak is.

Our Townsville leak detection specialists use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing equipment to pinpoint the exact location of leaks in walls, under concrete slabs, in roofs, underground, and around hot water systems. Once we find the leak, we provide a complete repair solution.

Signs You May Have a Hidden Water Leak

Don't ignore these warning signs. A hidden leak can waste thousands of litres of water and cause serious structural damage if left untreated:

• Unexplained increase in water bills
• Damp or discoloured patches on walls or ceilings
• Musty or mouldy odours in specific areas
• Sounds of running water when no taps are on
• Hot spots on floors (indicate hot water line leaks)
• Cracks in walls or flooring
• Water pooling in yard or garden areas
• Reduced water pressure throughout the home
• Hot water system constantly running

Our Leak Detection Technology

We use multiple non-invasive technologies to find leaks without unnecessary damage:

• Acoustic Leak Detection: Sensitive listening equipment picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes, even through concrete and soil
• Thermal Imaging: Infrared cameras detect temperature differences caused by leaking water, perfect for finding hot water line leaks under floors
• Pressure Testing: Isolates sections of pipe to identify which section has the leak
• Video Pipe Inspection: Small cameras inspect inside pipes to visually confirm leaks and pipe condition
