Why leaks are hard to find in Alexandra Hills
Alexandra Hills is a suburb in the City of Redland, about 23 km east-south-east of the Brisbane CBD. About 16,500 people live here. Most of the suburb was built from 1975 onwards, when its first state school opened, and it includes the Scribbly Gums Conservation Area.
Most homes were built from the mid-1970s to the 1990s on concrete slabs, so copper pipe joints, hot water connections and shower waterproofing are now well past the age when leaks start. A slab leak or a leak in the supply line from the meter can run unseen for months. The first sign is often a higher water bill, warm or damp floor tiles, loose shower tiles or a meter that never stops. We find the exact source, so only a small area needs to be opened for the repair.

High Redland water bill?
Redland City Council supplies water in Alexandra Hills. Leaks on your side of the meter are the owner's responsibility. If a hidden leak has pushed up your bill, council's concealed leak remission can reduce the water consumption charges for eligible customers, with more help for eligible pensioners. A licensed plumber's report of the leak and repair is needed. Our report shows where the leak was and what caused it, which supports your application. Download our free leak credit claim checklist.

Alexandra Hills leak detection FAQs
How much does leak detection cost in Alexandra Hills?
It starts from $398 inc. GST for the first hour on site, including thermal imaging, acoustic and tracer gas equipment and an insurance-ready PDF report. Extra time, if needed, is $168 per hour. Most single leaks are found within the first hour, and we give you a free phone quote before we book.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, then check your water meter. If the dial is still moving, water is escaping somewhere. Other signs include a higher Redland water bill, damp walls or skirting boards, a musty smell, mould or warm spots on a tiled floor.
Do you offer emergency leak detection in Alexandra Hills?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 on 1300 346 353. Same-day appointments are often available across Alexandra Hills, Capalaba, Ormiston and the Redlands Coast.
Can you find a leak under a concrete slab without digging it all up?
Yes. We use thermal imaging, acoustic ground microphones and tracer gas to pinpoint the leak through the slab, then mark the exact spot. Only a small area needs to be opened for the repair.
My home is fairly new. Could it still have a leak?
Yes. Leaking shower waterproofing, failed pipe joints and leaks at hot water connections happen in newer homes too. If your home is still under the builder's warranty, our report gives you evidence of the defect.
Will my report help with an insurance claim or a high water bill?
Yes. Every job includes a PDF report with photos, readings and the cause of the leak. Insurers use it to assess resultant damage claims, and it supports an application to Redland City Council for help with a bill caused by a hidden leak.
