Non-Invasive Methods
We locate leaks using acoustic and thermal technology, protecting your walls, floors and gardens from unnecessary damage.
For two decades, Loamside Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Loamside and greater Ipswich track down hidden water leaks before they cause serious damage. Our licensed plumbers combine acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras and tracer gas technology to pinpoint the exact source of a leak without unnecessary digging or demolition. We understand the older copper pipework and poly lines common throughout Loamside properties, and we know how local ground conditions can affect underground mains. Whether you're dealing with an unexplained spike in your water bill or a damp patch that won't dry out, our experience means we find the problem quickly and explain exactly what's needed to fix it.

Loamside Plumbing & Drains provides professional leak detection across Loamside and the wider Ipswich region, using non-invasive equipment to find water leaks hiding under slabs, behind walls and beneath your lawn.

If you've noticed a spinning water meter, a soggy patch of lawn, or a hot water bill that's climbed without explanation, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Give our Loamside team a call and we'll get a licensed plumber out to investigate, locate the source and recommend the right fix, whether that's a simple patch repair or a broader repipe.
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves. Often the first clue is a water bill that's crept up without any change in usage, or a small patch of lawn that stays green and boggy no matter the weather. Inside the home, musty smells, peeling paint or a warm patch on tiled flooring can point to a leak running beneath a concrete slab.
Left unchecked, even a small pinhole leak in an ageing copper pipe can lead to structural damage, mould growth and costly repairs down the track. Properties in Loamside with older poly or galvanised pipework are particularly prone to pitting and corrosion over time, which is why catching a leak early makes such a difference to the final repair bill.
Not every leak is a plumbing issue either. Stormwater seepage, sewer line problems and even roof leaks can mimic the signs of a water main leak, which is why an accurate diagnosis from an experienced plumber matters before any digging or demolition begins.
Loamside Plumbing & Drains uses a combination of proven detection methods to locate leaks accurately the first time, saving you from guesswork and unnecessary excavation. Depending on the pipework and property, our plumbers may use:
