That depth of hands-on experience means fewer guesses, less mess and a faster path to a lasting repair.
Every leak detection technician we send is licensed, insured and trained in the latest detection technology.
We locate leaks without smashing tiles or digging up your yard unless it's genuinely necessary.
Every repair following a leak detection is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Two decades finding hidden leaks throughout Ipswich homes and businesses.
At One Mile Plumbing & Drains, we specialise in tracking down hidden water leaks before they cause serious damage to your home or business. Using acoustic leak detection, thermal cameras and non-invasive tracer gas methods, our team can locate a leaking pipe under a concrete slab, inside a cavity wall or along the run from your water meter to the house, without unnecessary digging or demolition. Whether you've noticed an unexplained spike on your water bill, a soggy patch on the lawn or damp patches creeping across the ceiling, we treat every job in One Mile with the same care and precision.
If you're staring at a water meter that won't stop spinning or a wet wall that has you worried about mould and structural damage, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Give our Ipswich based team a call on {{phone_number}} and we'll arrange a licensed leak detection specialist to get to the bottom of it, quickly and without hidden costs. From standalone houses to units and commercial premises, we've got the tools and experience to find the source of the leak and repair it properly the first time.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself straight away. Instead, homeowners in One Mile usually notice smaller warning signs first, an unusually high water bill, a patch of lawn that stays soggy no matter the weather, or a musty smell lingering in a particular room. By the time a leak becomes visible, it may have already been running under the slab or inside a wall cavity for weeks.
Left unchecked, a slow leak under a concrete slab can undermine foundations, while a leaking pipe inside a wall cavity can rot timber framing and encourage mould growth long before any staining appears on the plaster. Older copper hot water pipes are particularly prone to pinhole leaks caused by pitting, and these are almost impossible to spot without the right equipment.
Not every wet patch is a plumbing leak either. Stormwater, a leaking pool or even a neighbour's irrigation can mimic the symptoms of a mains water leak, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters. Getting a professional leak detection done early can save you from costly repairs, insurance headaches and unnecessary excavation work down the track.
Rather than relying on trial and error, One Mile Plumbing & Drains uses a layered approach to leak detection that narrows down the source before any tools touch your walls or floors. We start with isolation testing and meter monitoring to confirm there is genuinely a leak, then bring in specialist equipment to pinpoint its exact location.
Once we've marked the leak, our plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a section of pipe relining, a copper pipe replacement or a straightforward fitting repair, so you're not left dealing with two different tradespeople for one problem.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing issues that need attention, so our One Mile team also handles a full range of related services. Below are a few areas where we regularly help local homeowners and businesses once a leak has been found.
