Avg. rating of 7 reviewsFor two decades, Ashmore Plumbing & Drains has helped Ashmore homeowners and business owners track down hidden water leaks before they cause costly damage. Our licensed plumbers understand the quirks of local homes, from established properties near Currumburra Road to newer builds closer to the Gold Coast Highway, and know exactly where copper, PEX or galvanised pipework tends to fail. We combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to pinpoint the source of a leak accurately, without unnecessary digging or demolition. That local knowledge, paired with genuine plumbing experience, is why so many Gold Coast residents call us first when they suspect a leak.

Our plumbers live and work across the Gold Coast, so we understand local homes inside and out.
Rising water bills, damp patches on a wall or a strangely soft spot in the lawn are often the first sign of a hidden leak. At Ashmore Plumbing & Drains, we use acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find the exact source of a leak in Ashmore homes and businesses, whether it's hiding under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity, in copper, PEX or galvanised pipework, or along the line between the meter and the house. Rather than guessing, we map the leak precisely so any repair is targeted and kept as minimally invasive as possible.
Whether you need emergency leak detection because of a sudden burst, or you've simply noticed your water meter ticking over when every tap is off, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Ashmore sits on a mix of older homes and newer developments, and both can develop pinhole leaks in copper pipes or cracked fittings over time. Give our team a call and we'll get a plumber out to locate the leak, explain what's happening, and outline the most sensible fix, backed by our fixed pricing and lifetime workmanship guarantee.
A hidden leak rarely announces itself loudly. More often it shows up as a water bill that's crept up for no obvious reason, a patch of lawn that stays green and soggy no matter the weather, or a musty smell in a room that never seems to dry out. Left unchecked, even a small leak under a slab or inside a wall cavity can undermine footings, lift tiles and encourage mould, turning a simple fix into a much bigger repair bill.
Many Ashmore properties have ageing copper hot water lines that are prone to pinhole leaks, while newer homes can suffer from poorly sealed fittings or damaged poly pipe. Pools, irrigation systems and even sewer or stormwater seepage can add another layer of complexity, since these issues are often mistaken for a genuine water leak. Our job is to work through these possibilities methodically, correctly identifying whether it's a drinking water leak, a sewer problem or stormwater ingress, so you're never paying to have the wrong section of pipe dug up.
Rather than reaching for a jackhammer on a hunch, Ashmore Plumbing & Drains uses a methodical, evidence-based approach to leak detection. We start by narrowing down the likely area using isolation tests and meter readings, then bring in specialised equipment to confirm the exact location before any repair work begins.
Once we've marked the leak, our plumbers can often carry out the repair on the spot, whether that's a section of relining, a copper patch or a full valve replacement. Ashmore homeowners and business owners get a clear explanation of what we've found and straightforward, fixed-price options before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Leak detection often uncovers other plumbing or drainage issues lurking beneath the surface. Alongside pinpointing hidden leaks, our Ashmore team handles the full repair and beyond, from blocked drains to complete sewer line assessments.
