Specialized Services for the Coast
High-Rise & Balcony Leaks
Living in a high-rise? Leaks tracking from the floor above are our specialty. We use thermal mapping to identify failed waterproofing and pipe bursts without needing to enter every unit in the building.
Pool & Waterfront Property Leaks
Is your pool losing water faster than evaporation? We provide comprehensive pool shell and plumbing pressure testing to stop water loss in its tracks.
Concealed Slab Leaks
Hidden pipe bursts under your foundation can cause structural shifting. Our acoustic tech "hears" the leak through the slab, so we only need to remove one tile for the repair, not fifty.
Moisture & Mould Diagnostics
Humidity on the Coast can hide the true source of mould. We use infrared cameras to see the "thermal signature" of dampness inside your walls before the damage becomes permanent.
Trusted Partner for Gold Coast Body Corporate & Strata Managers
Managing a multi-storey complex or a townhouse development comes with unique plumbing challenges. When a resident reports a "mystery leak," you need more than a plumber—you need a forensic diagnostic partner who can identify the source without causing unnecessary friction or damage to common property.
Starting from $398 including GST for the first hour, with an additional charge of $168 for every extra hour. The final cost depends on your location. Most inspections only take one hour, but if additional time is needed, the technicians will inform you before proceeding. Book online or free call 1300 FINDLEAK (1300 346 353).

Reliable Leak Detection from Certified Gold Coast Experts
-
Water Damage & Mould Diagnostics
Our Gold Coast forensic leak detection team provides a comprehensive analysis of building water ingress, targeting the root causes of mould growth and condensation. Utilizing TroTec moisture mapping and FLIR thermal imaging, we pinpoint hidden sources behind walls, windows, and doors without destructive testing. By identifying moisture-heavy "Red Zones," we prevent structural timber rot and health hazards associated with poor indoor air quality. Whether it’s rising damp or interstitial condensation, we ensure long-term property protection through data-driven results.
-
Leaking Shower & Bathroom Diagnostics
We specialize in high-precision shower leak detection that differentiates between plumbing failures and waterproofing breaches. Our technicians conduct a multi-point compliance audit, examining shower recess gradients, puddle flange integrity, and internal waste pipe junctions. Using specialized pressure testing and fluorescent dye tracing, we identify defects in shower screens, hobs, and cistern connections. This forensic approach ensures your bathroom remains NCC-compliant, preventing costly sub-floor structural damage and preserving high-value finishes in luxury Gold Coast homes.
-
Roof Leak Detection & Plumbing Compliance
Our Gold Coast roof leak specialists provide forensic solutions for complex roof plumbing and water management issues. We conduct rigorous inspections of flashings, box gutters, rain heads, and apron joints to ensure full compliance with National Construction Code (NCC) standards. We utilize simulated water testing to replicate leaks caused by "directional rain" and extreme weather events common to the Queensland coast. From identifying capillary fast-tracks to resolving ridge cap deterioration, our reporting provides the technical evidence required for insurance claims and long-term remedial planning.
-
Balcony Leak & Waterproofing Analysis
Our balcony leak detection services utilize advanced substrate flood testing and infrared thermography to diagnose waterproofing membrane failures and structural building defects. We go beyond visual checks, assessing efflorescence (salt attack), substrate saturation, and drainage compliance. Our audit ensures all balcony assets meet AS 4654.2 standards, identifying workmanship errors or material fatigue that compromise safety. We provide detailed remedial roadmaps for both immediate repair and preventative water management, protecting the structural integrity of high-rise and residential coastal assets.
Why Strata Managers Prefer 1300 FINDLEAK:
Inter-floor Leak Specialists: We excel at determining if a leak is coming from a private lot’s shower tray, a common property stack, or a failed balcony waterproof membrane.
Non-Invasive Entry: We use thermal imaging and moisture mapping to diagnose issues from within a single unit, minimizing the need to enter multiple apartments.
Definitive Evidence for Disputes: Our reports provide the clear, photographic evidence required to determine "Area of Responsibility," helping you resolve disputes between owners and the Body Corporate quickly.
Insurance Compliance: Our detailed PDF reports are formatted to meet the strict requirements of major strata insurers, speeding up the approval process for remedial works.
"1300 FINDLEAK is our first call for every 'mystery leak' in our portfolio. Their technicians are professional with residents, and their reports are the most detailed we've seen in the industry." — Senior Portfolio Manager, Gold Coast Strata Group

Non-Invasive Forensic Diagnostics for Residential & Commercial Assets
At 1300 FINDLEAK, we provide an advanced "shield" for your property through high-precision, non-invasive technology. We specialize in identifying hidden hazards—from sub-slab gas leaks to interstitial moisture ingress—without the need for exploratory demolition. Our family-owned approach combines local Gold Coast expertise with world-class diagnostic equipment.
Precision Gas Leak Detection: Safety & Compliance
Gas leaks are high-risk structural hazards that require immediate, specialized intervention. We utilize a Triple-Method Diagnostic approach to ensure 100% accuracy:
Tracer Gas Technology: We use food-grade Hydrogen/Nitrogen mixtures to "scent" leaks in underground lines and wall cavities where traditional "soapy water" tests fail.
Acoustic Signal Correlation: Ultrasonic microphones detect the specific high-frequency "hiss" of escaping gas through concrete slabs and soil.
Thermal Anomaly Mapping: We identify rapid pressure drops and temperature shifts in gas lines behind structural barriers.
Result: Rapid pinpointing that saves time, prevents property fire hazards, and eliminates unnecessary "dig-and-search" costs.
Thermal Imaging & Digital Moisture Surveys
Water ingress often remains invisible until structural rot or mold sets in. We use FLIR high-resolution thermography to see what the naked eye cannot.
Evaporative Cooling Signatures: Our cameras detect the minute temperature variations caused by moisture evaporation behind plasterboard, under floorboards, and within masonry.
Comprehensive Moisture Mapping: Using TroTec survey tools, we create a digital saturation profile of your property to identify the "entry point" vs. the "exit point" of water ingress.
Preventative Health Protection: By identifying hidden damp early, we stop the colonization of toxic black mold (Stachybotrys) and preserve indoor air quality.
Transparent Pricing & Gold Coast Local Authority
