Our Leading Detection Equipment

Our certified technicians use high-quality equipment, backed by extensive expertise, to precisely and efficiently locate critical underground services and hidden water leaks.

CCTV In-Pipe Camera Inspections

We have high-quality PUSH ROD (not tractor) cameras that we use to conduct CCTV pipeline inspections. This provides our certified technicians with full-colour digital documentation to visualise issues within pipes.

These inspections are beneficial for:

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) & Concrete Scanning

Our technicians use non-destructive, high-resolution ground penetrating radar and concrete scanning technology to locate underground services and hidden leaks and ensure safety.

GPR scanning technology is effective for indicating the presence and depth of:

Thermal Imaging Inspections

Thermal imaging, also known as infrared imaging, is effective for pinpointing temperature variations and “hot spots” caused by leaks and other hidden issues efficiently and without unnecessary destruction.

Thermal imaging inspections are ideal for identifying:

Electrical faults
Plumbing issues
Rain-related leaks
Mould and moisture
Issues in underground heating systems
Sprinkler system faults
Ait leaks around windows or doors

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of properties and areas do you service?

We provide a comprehensive array of leak detection and underground service location services to residential, commercial, and civil clients throughout Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gympie, and other neighbouring regional areas on request. Whether you need help finding a hidden leak or locating underground pipes or cables before excavation, construction, or renovations, we can help. Contact our team to confirm service availability for your location.

How do you actually detect a leak?

We use a combination of leak detection methods depending on the situation, including thermal imaging leak detection, CCTV inspections, and GPR water leak detection. The approach is based on where the leak is likely to be and how accessible it is. These methods and technologies are also effective for underground service locating.

Can you find leaks and underground services without digging or damaging property?

Yes. Most leak detection and underground service location is non-invasive. Using tools like thermal imaging, concrete scanning, CCTV in-pipe cameras, and ground penetrating radar (GPR), we can accurately locate leaks and underground services without unnecessary excavation or property damage.

How accurate are your leak detection and service location?

Our leak detection and underground service location processes focus on confirming the exact water leak location, gas leak source or underground service, not just identifying a general area. Accuracy depends on the situation, but the goal is always to provide a clear, reliable result that can be acted on without any guesswork.

Do you provide a report after detecting the leak?

Yes. We provide a clear explanation of what was found, including the location of the leak and recommended next steps. This can be used by plumbers, builders or insurers if required.

Why do I need a professional underground service location?

While you can try your luck with free plans from Dial Before You Dig or utility companies, we don’t recommend it. These plans are often out-of-date and inaccurate. To ensure the safety and success of your project, it is best to contact qualified, professional CERTLOC-certified and Accredited Plant Locators, like our team at LeakTech.

What underground services can you locate?

Using advanced concrete scanning and GPR scanning technology, our LeakTech specialists can accurately locate the presence and depth of:

Water mains – all types, including asbestos, blue brut
Pipes – plastic, poly, PVC
Fire main valves
Fibre optic cables
Road crossings
Rising mains
Buried manhole covers
Underground tanks and pits

What types of leaks can thermal imaging detect?

Thermal imaging leak detection is effective for detecting various types of leaks, including water leaks and blockages in exposed pipes and in pipes hidden behind walls and under floors.

It can also detect moisture intrusion in roof systems, ceilings, walls and floors; as well as underground heating systems and sprinkler systems. Also, air leaks around ill-fitting windows and doors.
