Facing A Leak Problem?

Signs Your Bokarina Property Has A Hidden Water Leak

A hidden leak rarely announces itself straight away. You might notice your water meter ticking over even with every tap switched off, or your latest water bill climbing without any change in usage. Some Bokarina homeowners first spot warm patches on their flooring from a hot water leak under the slab, while others notice damp carpet, peeling paint or a musty smell in a room that never used to have one.

Left undetected, these leaks can undermine timber flooring, damage plasterboard, and encourage mould growth long before any visible water appears. Older copper pipework common in established Sunshine Coast homes is particularly prone to pinhole leaks from corrosion, while poly and PEX pipes can fail at joints or fittings. Whatever the cause, catching it early with proper leak detection equipment saves you from far more disruptive and expensive repairs down the track.

If your property backs onto stormwater drainage or sits near the water table, it's also worth distinguishing between a genuine water leak and stormwater or sewer seepage, as the fix for each is quite different. Our team can identify exactly which system is responsible before any repair work begins.

    How Bokarina Plumbing & Drains Finds Leaks In Bokarina Without Guesswork

    Bokarina Plumbing & Drains combines proven plumbing experience with modern leak detection technology to find the exact source of a leak before a single tile or slab is disturbed. Rather than relying on guesswork, our technicians use a methodical process to narrow down the location and confirm it before any repair work is quoted.

    • Acoustic leak detection using ground microphones and correlators to hear pressurised water escaping underground
    • Thermal camera leak location to trace hot and cold water trails through walls, ceilings and slabs
    • Non-invasive tracer gas testing for plastic pipe or noisy sites where acoustic methods are inconclusive
    • Meter-to-house main location and isolation testing to confirm whether a spinning meter points to a leak on your property
    • Moisture mapping to pinpoint dampness in wet walls, cavities and under-house areas

    Once we've confirmed the source, we'll walk you through the most sensible repair option, whether that's a targeted patch repair, a section of pipe relining, or a broader repipe for ageing copper. Every Bokarina job comes with a written report and photos, useful for insurance claims or simply your own records.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Your Leak Detection Questions Answered

      We know hidden leaks can be stressful, especially when you're not sure what's causing them. Here are some of the questions Bokarina property owners ask us most, answered by our experienced leak detection team.

      We use non-invasive equipment such as acoustic listening devices, ground microphones and thermal imaging cameras to narrow down the exact location of a leak before any digging takes place. In many cases, tracer gas or correlators help confirm the position on plastic pipe or in noisy environments. This approach means we only open up the section of ground, wall or slab where the leak actually is, rather than searching by trial and error.
      Some of the clearest signs include a water meter that keeps ticking over when every tap and appliance is switched off, an unusually high water bill without a change in household usage, or warm patches appearing on tiled or timber flooring. You might also notice a musty smell in a room, damp patches on walls or ceilings, or a soggy area of lawn that never seems to dry out. Any of these signs are worth having checked before they lead to more serious damage.
      Yes, slab leaks are one of the more common issues we're called out to investigate. Using thermal imaging combined with acoustic sensors, we can trace the temperature and sound patterns created by water escaping beneath a slab, which helps us pinpoint the leak without random jackhammering. Once located, we'll discuss whether a targeted patch repair, pipe relining, or a broader repipe is the most sensible long-term solution.
      Yes, we provide a written source-of-leak report complete with photos and clearly marked locations that you can pass on to your insurer or restoration company. This documentation helps support your claim by showing exactly where the leak was found and what caused it, which can make the claims process considerably smoother.
      This is a common point of confusion, as all three can create similar wet patches or dampness around a property. Drinking water leaks usually show up through a rising water meter reading and often produce warm patches if they involve hot water pipes, while stormwater and sewer issues tend to be linked to rainfall, drainage grates or unpleasant odours. Our team can test and separate these possibilities so the right specialists and equipment are used for the actual cause.
      Absolutely. We regularly carry out leak detection for both residential homes and commercial premises, including strata properties and units where the source of a leak isn't always obvious. Commercial sites often have more complex plumbing runs, so we adapt our approach and equipment to suit the scale and layout of the property.
