Leaks are not always easy to find. Some leaks are visible, such as a dripping tap, leaking toilet, burst pipe or water pooling under a fixture. Other leaks are hidden inside walls, under floors, in ceilings, underground or behind cabinetry. Jumpstart Plumbing & Gas provides leak detection services for all types of residential and commercial plumbing systems across Brisbane.

WHERE LEAKS HIDE
WATER METER & HIDDEN PIPE CHECKS
One of the simplest ways to tell if you may have a water leak is by checking your water meter. A spinning water meter can indicate a hidden pipe leak, underground leak, leaking toilet, or faulty valve. Jumpstart Plumbing & Gas can investigate further and help locate the source of the problem.
Hidden Pipe Leaks: Difficult to detect because the pipework may be behind walls, under flooring, inside ceilings or beneath concrete.
Often hard to see until they start causing visible problems like wet patches or unusually green grass.
Wall & Floor Leaks: Water appearing in ceilings, walls or floors is a sign that a leak may be hidden somewhere nearby.
A sudden increase in your water bill can be a sign of a hidden leak wasting a large amount of water over time.

DETECTION

- Musty smell or mould growth
- Bubbling paint or swollen skirting

ROOT CAUSE
CAUSES OF HIDDEN LEAKS
Hidden pipe leaks may be caused by a variety of factors. Left untreated, they can waste a significant amount of water and cause further damage to the surrounding area.
AGEING PIPES
Corrosion, loose fittings, or old pipework deteriorating over time.
GROUND MOVEMENT
Shifting soil causing damaged joints or broken underground pipes.
HIGH WATER PRESSURE
Putting excess strain on valves, fittings, and pipes leading to splits.
ENVIRONMENTS
SPECIFIC LEAK LOCATIONS
Jumpstart Plumbing & Gas can inspect various areas of your property to determine where the leak is coming from and provide clear advice on the next step.
Bathroom Leak Detection
Bathrooms are one of the most common areas for water leaks. With toilets, showers, basins, baths, taps, drains and waterproofing all in one space, there are several possible sources of a leak. A bathroom leak may show as water stains on nearby walls, damp flooring, or mould.
Kitchen & Laundry Leaks
Kitchens and laundries can develop leaks from sinks, taps, dishwashers, washing machines, water filters, fridge water lines, pipework and appliance connections. These leaks are often hidden inside cabinets, behind appliances or under flooring.
Hot Water System Leaks
Water may leak from valves, pipe connections, the pressure relief valve, the base of the unit or the tank itself. A small leak around a hot water system can become worse over time and may cause water damage or complete system failure.
