Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Hunchy Plumbing & Drains has helped home and business owners across Hunchy and the wider Sunshine Coast track down hidden water leaks before they turn into costly damage. Our licensed plumbers use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and non-invasive tracer methods to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, rather than guessing where to dig or cut. We've located everything from pinhole copper leaks in ceiling cavities to slab leaks under timber floors, giving local families and businesses genuine peace of mind. When you need accurate plumbing leak detection done properly the first time, our experience speaks for itself.
Every leak detection job is carried out by fully qualified, insured tradespeople you can trust.
We stand behind every repair with a lifetime workmanship guarantee for genuine long-term confidence.
You'll always receive a clear, fixed price before any work begins, with no hidden surprises.
Our team leaves your property as clean as we found it, every single time.
At Hunchy Plumbing & Drains, we specialise in locating hidden water leaks using acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and tracer gas technology, so we can find the problem without tearing up your yard or smashing through walls. Whether it's a spinning water meter, an unexplained damp patch on the lawn or a musty smell inside the home, our team can trace it back to the exact source. We service homes and businesses right across Hunchy and throughout the Sunshine Coast, bringing two decades of hands-on plumbing experience to every job. Once the leak is marked, we can carry out the repair on the spot or provide a detailed report for insurance purposes.
If you've noticed a higher than usual water bill, damp walls, or the sound of running water when every tap is off, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Small leaks behind walls or beneath a slab can quietly cause structural damage, mould and costly repairs the longer they're left unchecked. Give Hunchy Plumbing & Drains a call and one of our local plumbers will get to the bottom of it with minimal disruption to your property. We proudly service Hunchy and the surrounding Sunshine Coast, so help is always close by.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself straight away. You might notice your water meter still ticking over even when every tap and appliance is switched off, or your water bill creeping up for no obvious reason. Sometimes it's a soft, soggy patch appearing on the lawn or driveway, a musty smell in a particular room, or a warm spot on an otherwise cool tiled floor.
Left alone, these small warning signs can turn into much bigger problems. Water trapped under a slab or inside a wall cavity can weaken timber framing, lift tiles, stain ceilings and encourage mould growth, none of which are cheap to put right. Copper pipes can develop pinhole leaks as they age, poly and PEX fittings can fail at the joins, and even a slow drip from a shower waterproofing membrane can do real damage over time. Knowing the difference between a plumbing leak, a stormwater issue and simple condensation is exactly where an experienced plumber earns their keep.
Rather than digging holes or opening up walls on a hunch, Hunchy Plumbing & Drains uses proven leak detection technology to locate the exact source of the problem first. This means less mess, less disruption and a faster path to an accurate repair for homes and businesses across Hunchy.
Once we've marked the leak, our licensed plumbers can carry out the repair straight away, whether that's a simple fitting replacement, a section of pipe relining or a full repipe. Hunchy Plumbing & Drains manages the whole process from detection through to repair, so Hunchy property owners aren't left chasing multiple tradespeople for one problem.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing and drainage work, so our Hunchy team offers a full range of services to fix the underlying issue once it's found.
We follow a straightforward, methodical process on every leak detection job so Hunchy customers know exactly what to expect. Our approach avoids unnecessary excavation and keeps you informed at every stage. Because we combine detection and repair under one roof, there's no need to bring in a second tradesperson once the leak is found.
We start with isolation tests and a meter watch to confirm whether the leak is on your property or the supply side.
Using acoustic equipment, thermal cameras or tracer gas, we pinpoint the leak without needless digging or demolition.
We mark the leak, carry out the repair and provide a written report if you need one for insurance purposes.
