Leak Detection Kingscliff
1300 FINDLEAK is a specialist leak detection company, not a general plumber. We find hidden water, shower, balcony, roof, pool and gas leaks in Kingscliff, Salt Village and Casuarina homes, holiday rentals and businesses without lifting marble, stone or timber floors. 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 Kingscliff
Kingscliff is a beachside town in Tweed Shire, about 13 km south of Tweed Heads and 112 km south of Brisbane. Around 7,500 people live here, and the town has grown quickly with the Salt Village and Casuarina estates, new apartments along Marine Parade, and the Tweed Valley Hospital at Cudgen, which opened in 2024.
Coastal living brings its own leak problems. Salt air corrodes external taps, valves and hot water fittings. Heavy coastal rain gets past roofs, balcony membranes and window seals. Sandy ground lets water from a broken underground pipe drain away without showing on the surface. In high-end homes, pipes are often hidden behind marble, natural stone and timber floors. The first sign is usually a higher Tweed Shire Council water bill, a damp patch, mould or a stain on a ceiling. We find the exact source, so only a small area needs to be opened for the repair.

Kingscliff 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 Kingscliff?
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.
Can you find a leak without damaging marble, stone or timber floors?
Yes. We use thermal imaging, acoustic listening, tracer gas and moisture mapping to find the leak from the surface. Then we mark the exact spot, so only that small area is opened for the repair.
Why do beachfront homes in Kingscliff get so many leaks?
Salt air corrodes external taps, valves and hot water fittings, and heavy coastal rain tests roofs, balconies and window seals. Sandy ground also lets underground leaks drain away without showing on the surface, so they can run for a long time.
Can you inspect my holiday rental between guests?
Yes. We work with Kingscliff and Casuarina property managers to arrange access, fit in between bookings and send the report straight to the owner and manager.
Do you offer emergency leak detection in Kingscliff?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 on 1300 346 353, and same-day service is often available on the Tweed Coast.
