Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor over 20 years, Chevallum Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Chevallum and the wider Sunshine Coast region track down hidden water leaks before they cause serious damage. Our technicians use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and correlator technology to pinpoint the exact source of a leak without unnecessary digging or demolition. Whether it's a spiking water bill, a damp patch on the lawn or a mysterious drop in water pressure, we've seen it all across the hinterland properties and suburban blocks of this area. That experience means faster diagnosis, fewer exploratory holes and a repair plan you can trust from the very first visit.
We locate leaks using acoustic and thermal technology, protecting your gardens, driveways and floors from unnecessary excavation.
Home and business owners throughout Chevallum rely on us for honest advice and dependable leak detection.
Every repair we carry out after locating your leak is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Our fully licensed technicians bring two decades of hands-on plumbing and leak location experience to every job.
Chevallum Plumbing & Drains provides dedicated leak detection across Chevallum and surrounding Sunshine Coast suburbs, using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find hidden water leaks under slabs, in walls and along underground mains. We understand that a hidden leak rarely announces itself loudly. It shows up as a higher than usual water bill, a wet patch that won't dry out, or a musty smell in a room that shouldn't be damp. Rather than guessing, our team maps the problem accurately before a single tile or brick is touched.
If you've noticed your water meter ticking over when every tap is off, or a section of your yard staying soggy long after rain, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our team a call and we'll talk you through what to expect, provide an upfront fixed price, and get a technician out to Chevallum to locate the source. The sooner a leak is found, the less damage it can do to your home, foundations or hip pocket.
A hidden leak rarely stays hidden for long, though the early signs are often easy to miss. An unusually high water bill, a water meter that keeps spinning after every tap and appliance is switched off, or a patch of lawn that stays lush and green while the rest of the yard dries out in the sun are all classic warning signs. Inside the house, look for damp carpet, lifting timber flooring, peeling paint or a musty smell that won't go away no matter how much you clean.
Left undetected, a slow leak under a slab or behind a wall can undermine foundations, rot timber framing and encourage mould growth long before any visible damage appears. Copper hot water pipes are particularly prone to pinhole leaks as they age, while poly and PEX lines can develop slow weeps at joints and fittings. Older homes around Chevallum with original copper or galvanised pipework are especially at risk, and a leak left to run for too long can turn a simple repair into a much larger, costlier job.
Chevallum Plumbing & Drains combines acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging and pressure testing to accurately pinpoint the source of a leak before any repair work begins. Our approach means we open up only the section of pipe, wall or slab that's actually affected, rather than guessing and causing unnecessary mess.
Once the leak is marked, our licensed plumbers carry out the repair on the spot wherever practical, whether that's a pitted copper section, a cracked poly fitting or a failed under-slab join. This same careful approach applies to slab leak detection, in-wall pipe leak detection and cavity pipe repairs alike. For Chevallum properties on acreage or older hinterland homes with ageing pipework, this means less disruption, a clear explanation of what went wrong, and a lasting fix backed by our workmanship guarantee.
