Leak Detection Casuarina
Don't call a plumber to guess. 1300 FINDLEAK is a specialist leak detection company, not a general plumber. We find hidden water, gas, shower, balcony and pool leaks in Casuarina homes, apartments and holiday rentals without ripping up tiles or slabs. Our licensed technicians use thermal imaging, acoustic listening and tracer gas, and every job comes with an insurance-ready report. Fixed pricing starts from $398 inc. GST, and we're available 24/7.
Why leaks are hard to find in Casuarina
Casuarina is a coastal community in Tweed Shire, about 17 km south of Tweed Heads, between Kingscliff and Cabarita Beach. Much of it is the master-planned Casuarina Beach estate, completed in 2015. It's a mix of family homes, apartments, villas and resort-style holiday accommodation, most of it built on concrete slabs close to the beach.
Coastal homes bring their own leak problems. Salt air corrodes fittings and flashings. Wind-driven rain gets past balcony membranes and windows, and sandy soils can let an underground leak drain away without ever showing on the surface. Holiday homes and investment apartments often sit empty, so a leak can run for weeks before anyone notices. Often the first sign is a higher Tweed Shire Council water bill, damp tiles, mould or a stain on the ceiling of the unit below. We find the exact source, so only a small area needs opening for the repair.
Leak detection services in Casuarina
Hidden water leaks and high water bills
Is your meter moving with every tap off? We trace the loss under the slab, in the walls or in the underground supply using acoustic ground microphones and tracer gas.
Shower, balcony and apartment leaks
Thermal imaging, moisture mapping and flood testing show whether water is coming from a pipe or a failed membrane. That's the key question when water comes through from the unit above.
Pool, gas and roof leaks
We find leaks in pool and spa plumbing, trace gas leaks down to a 0.05 kPa pressure drop, and locate roof, flashing and window leaks on coastal homes.

Casuarina leak detection FAQs
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Turn off every tap and water-using appliance overnight, then compare your water meter readings in the morning. If the meter has moved, water is escaping somewhere. Other signs include a higher water bill, damp or warm floor tiles, a musty smell or mould.
How much does leak detection cost in Casuarina?
It starts from $398 inc. GST for the first hour on site, including thermal imaging, acoustic and tracer gas equipment and a PDF report. Extra time, if needed, is $168 per hour. Most single leaks are found within the first hour.
Why call a leak detection specialist instead of a plumber?
Many plumbers don't have the equipment to find a hidden leak, so they cut into walls or floors to look for it. We specialise in finding leaks without damaging your property, then mark the exact spot so the repair is quick and small.
Water is coming through my ceiling from the apartment above. Can you find the source?
Yes. We test the unit above, including its shower, bathroom waste, supply pipes and balcony, to find exactly where the water is coming from. The report helps the owners and the body corporate work out who is responsible for the repair.
Can you check my holiday home or rental while I'm away?
Yes. We can arrange access with your property manager or agent and send you the report once we've found the leak.
Do you offer emergency leak detection in Casuarina?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 on 1300 346 353, and same-day service is often available on the Tweed Coast.
